Sharp, the new generation 8K TV "AQUOS XLED" announced by MINI LED

Sharp will release the 8K "DX1" and 4K "DP1" series as a new product of the new LCD TV brand "AQUOS XLED" using mini LED backlights from December 10.The DX1 is 85, 75, 65, and the DP1 is a 65 type and 55 type lineup.The price is open price.

AQUOS XLED 8K "DX1" series ・ 85 type “8T-C85DX1” store expected price around 1,76 million yen released on December 10, 2021, 75 type “8T-C75DX1” 82.Around 50,000 yen, 65 type "8T-C65DX1" 660,000 yen, 4K "DP1" series, 65 type "4T-C65DP1" around 440,000 yen Released on December 10, 2021, 55 type "4T-C55DP1"36.Released on February 26, 2022, around 30,000 yen

Both the DX1 and DP1 series are commercialized models of the “Mini LED next -generation display” technology that the company announced in June this year, and has a miniled for backlights and a quantum dot in the wide color range.Compared to conventional liquid crystal TVs, the brightness, contrast, and color gamuts have been significantly improved.

In this article, we will cover the 8K model "DX1" series.See another article for the 4K model "DP1".

Achieves "high contrast", "high brightness", and "wide range" with mini LED x quantum dots

DX1 adopts 85, 75 and 65 type LCD panels (double -speed compatible) with 8k/7,680 x 4,320 dots.A fine and realistic video expression that makes use of 16 times the full HD and 4 times the high resolution of 4K.

The biggest features are the newly developed mini LEDs and their control technology that have been highly densely implemented on the backlight.Depending on the video displayed by the new technology "Active Miniled Drive", the light and dark of each area are controlled in detail, and the power is concentrated in the place you want to brighten to achieve high contrast and peak brightness.It is said that the sparkling of the sunset is beautifully clearly clearly reflected.

The panel part is equipped with a "quantum dot lich color" that produces three primary colors with high color and purity.Using the light wavy long conversion technology using quantum dot, which is a semiconductor particles of nanosizes, the blue light of the backlight is generated to the three primary colors (RGB) with high purity (RGB), enabling a wide color range and colorful video expression.。

Furthermore, by analyzing the local brightness and contrast of the video to be displayed, and further increasing the light and dark difference, the new design that further enhances the contrast display performance, such as "dazzling shine" and "tight black".Implemented the "flare Brightness" circuit.By applying its own backlight optimal control technology, it is said that "you can reproduce a rich light and dark image as if there was a real thing in front of you."

Equipped with a newly developed high -quality image processing engine "Medalist Z2X" with high image processing performance and high -speed performance cultivated in 8K development.The Medalist engine is evolved and optimized for the image quality of AQUOS XLED. By analyzing the resolution and video format, the texture originally has the texture and contours."Digital terrestrial broadcasting and online videos can be expressed in detail in detail and richness."

Equipped with an "object profiling" that restores the original beauty of the video.

Specifically, the subject is speculated, supplements fine information, and restores it to high -definition images."Reality restore" to restore the contours, "Smart Active Contrast", which optimizes light -dark depiction according to input format such as HDR format, analyze the brightness signal, and estimate the original image of the original image.It incorporates a high -image quality function such as "shine restore" to be restored.

In DX1, a low-reflective and wide viewing "N-Wide panel" that suppresses the reflection of lighting and the like is adopted.By adopting a material that maintains high contrast performance on the panel surface with a low -reflective coat, and a material that maintains high contrast performance, it is said that clear images can be enjoyed from various viewing positions.

The HDR standard supports HDR10 such as 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and 4K/8K broadcast HLG.It also supports Dolby Vision.

8 speakers "ARSS+" sound system surrounding the surroundings

イマーシブな音場を実現するという「ARSS+」音響システムを新開発。画面下部のミッドレンジ&サブウーファーに加え、背面上部にハイトミッドレンジ、サイドにツイーターを搭載した“8スピーカー”で画面の周囲を取り囲むことで、広がりのある音場を再現。さらに映像と音声の一体感を実現すべく、スピーカーシステムを薄さ約2.It was stored in the form of 6cm (excluding convex part) and combined high sound quality and thin design.

It is also equipped with "EILEX PRISM", a sound correction technology that captures changes in acoustic power in the entire space.The maximum output of voice practical is 70W.

The DX1 series also features a narrow frame design.Compared to the existing 8K model (8T-C60CX1), 8T-C65DX1 is about 1/5 slim bezel design (about 0).2cm), minimizes the boundary between the video and the background.With the "Floating Display" design where the images emerge, we aim to have a high immersive viewing experience.

The installed tuner is BS8K x 1, BS4K/110 degree CS 4K x 2.Ground/BS/110 degree CS x 3.If you prepare an external USB HDD, you can perform 8K broadcast recording, 4K broadcast back program recording, 4K broadcast and 2K broadcast simultaneous recording.It also supports "Omakase Auto Chapter", which automatically records a chapter when the scene (audio) is switched when recording the program.

Equipped with Android TV.You can quickly search for movies and programs by pressing the Google Assistant button on the remote control, you can easily operate the TV hand-free, or to easily cast photos, videos, and music from devices from devices using Chromecast Built-in.Possible.It also supports the entertainment and living information support application "COCORO VISION".

It also supports YouTube 8K video playback.You can enjoy displaying 8K videos, such as superb views taken around the world posted on YouTube, at 8K resolution.

The HDMI input is 4 terminals 4 terminals, one system supports ARC, and the two systems are compatible with 8K60Hz and 4K120Hz input.It also has optical digital audio output, USB, and LAN terminal.

Power consumption and annual power consumption are about 602W/421 kWh/year for 85 type, about 547W/388 kWh/year for 75 type, and about 391W/327 kWh/year for 65 type.

The external dimensions/weight including the stand are 187 for the 85 type..7 x 34.3x113.2cm (width x depth x height)/about 60kg, 75 type 165.5x31 x 100.9cm (same)/about 45kg, 65 type 143.3x26.4x88.2cm (same)/about 32kg.

Miniled TV is the key to high -end models

Sharp will hold a presentation of AQUOS XLED on the 26th.

According to Kazuhiro Kitamura, the director of the company's executive officer Smart Display System Business Division, Kazuhiro Kitamura, "Since the birth of 2001, terrestrial digitalization, full HD, smart TV compatible, 8K, etc. have been evolved and the advancement of infrastructure is advanced.We have been responding. And what is required of AQUOS in the future is the added value that grasps the needs of replacement demand. For that purpose, the size of the “large screen”, the upgrade of “high image quality and high sound quality”, and smart.I think three will hold the key. "He says that the "AQUOS XLED" series, which means "Excellent Experience", is a new product that introduces these three elements.

"The miniled, which is the main axis, has adopted a light -emitting element of about 1/10 size compared to the conventional LEDs used in the conventional LCD. By spreading this small LED on the entire surface, the glow of the image is tripled.It is enhanced. Furthermore, by lighting this LED in a small area, it succeeded in dramatically improving the brightness and contrast as an LCD TV. If it is AQUOS XLED, it cannot be realized with conventional liquid crystal.Aquos XLED's advantage is realized. "

"Miniled TV is the basis of high -end models."

"According to a panel market composition ratio for TV -specific TV methods by the research company, it is estimated that the Miniled TV will exceed the composition of the OLED TV in 2022 next year, and that after 2025, the composition ratio of lid digits or more will be higher."Has predicted the future expansion of Miniled TV.

In the future, the company will use the new product AQUOS XLED as a flagship line that pursues the highest image quality and sound quality, the highest image quality, sound quality, and a television business of the conventional LCD AQUOS OLED, and the organic EL AQUOS OLED.It will be expanded as a pillar.
