TV has become an essential household appliance for ordinary people. In the face of the hot household projection in 2016, there was no waves in my heart, no waves on my face, no waves on my whole person, even wanted to laugh. Because after experiencing N types of home projection, the parameter of "true 1000 lumens" 1000 ANSI has been hit everywhere by the indoor light in the daytime. All projections that need to draw curtains to have a good experience are hooligans. Compared with the gimmick of high lumen parameters for home projection, I prefer the more realistic and bright colors brought by LCD. I was lucky to get the opportunity to evaluate the "Sharp Clear" series of Sharp 45 inch Internet TV in the trial run of Lei Feng. Next, I will take you to experience this smart TV from the following links.

1、 Foreword | My Understanding of TV

As a man, he should focus on his career and give consideration to his family. With a stable or high material base, life can become more colorful. Although the old saying goes, "The poor live in poverty and the rich live in wealth", we should try our best to avoid laziness, discouragement and pessimism, which is the bottom line we should have in our daily work and life. I am also the most common member of the crowd. In addition to occasionally working overtime and walking around after work, I spend the rest of my time with my wife and children. Those who are close to each other will be black. Of course, it does not mean that family members have the idea of red and black, but that my wife likes to follow TV dramas. So under its influence, I will also watch TV dramas together. For example, recently, two popular TV dramas of Li Yifeng, "Sparrow" and "Green Cloud Annals", have never loved watching soap operas. I really like these two TV dramas of Li Yifeng's handsome boy. While children like to watch some Hayao Miyazaki cartoons, as well as movies like Your Name, which is very good. Therefore, TV has basically become a medium to accompany family members. It's fun to watch TV dramas together.

Before I got this Sharp TV, I always used the Sharp 37 inch TV I bought in 2009 and bought Xiaomi 2s TV for my parents. It can be said that the 37 inch TV is really small for now, but fortunately the living room is not big, so I have been too lazy to replace it. Over the past seven years, Sharp TV has never had any problems. From Jinzhou to Shenyang, and back to Jinzhou from Shenyang, this Sharp TV has also been overwhelmed by me. However, the quality can be described in one word, that is, "firm as a rock" (not ASUS, but ASUS has no TV, hehe). This Sharp TV series first gave me a surprise, that is, for the first time, Sharp Smart TV will give Youku members for one year, and they are diamond members. You should know that the price of Youku gold members for one year is 169 yuan. When we use the smart TV or box of Ali data, we will be upgraded to diamond members, Sharp's 45 inch Internet TV adopts such a system.

The reason why I like Sharp is its HD screen. It is well-known that Sharp Screen is the leader in the industry. The main reason is that Sharp had a very high cost performance in 2009. To this day, I didn't expect that this Sharp TV was only 2999 yuan, and its cost performance is still strong. When my sister saw the delicious food on the Sharp screen, it really made people salivate. Turn around quickly, ha ha. OK， Let's get started.

2、 Product details | Expand none

The lower right corner of the product is marked with "DOLBY AUDIO", which supports Dolby sound effect. After the Sharp TV is connected to the 220V power supply, the system will automatically enter the low power consumption standby state, and the product power indicator is red. We only need to click the power button of the remote control to start the machine, eliminating the physical buttons on the machine body. Like my old Sharp, he would go to the front of the TV and press the power every time he turned on the machine. This time, it was a simple step.

The factory default is base installation. If you need TV wall installation, you need to purchase relevant accessories. The design of the base is also very convenient. Insert the base from both sides of the bottom of the fuselage, and tighten two bolts each, which is very stable.

Although equipped with remote control, the machine body is still equipped with power, menu, input, channel, volume and other physical keys for standby. If the remote control is lost I don't want to talk. I used to lose a millet box. I don't know where to throw it. However, even if the remote control is lost, you don't have to worry. Today's smart TVs can be operated by mobile phones. Apps such as "Wukong Remote Control" and "iFLYTEK Smart" can be easily used as remote controls.

The bottom of the back of the fuselage is also designed with digital audio output, LAN wired network interface, HDMI high-definition interface, traditional AV interface, audio input and output. There is a "dedicated service" in it, and its purpose is not well understood. For the public, these interfaces will also have a higher HDMI utilization rate, and the current application of other standard configurations can be said to be smaller and smaller. Here I complain that Sharp's smart TV interfaces are all downward facing, so it will be a little hard to plug in the data cable later, which is not more convenient than the backward facing way of the old model.

There are TF card expansion, USB interface * 2, HDMI (there are 2 above, this is the third) and cable TV signal interface on the left side facing the body. USB also means that this smart TV supports browsing USB devices, and we can even use the keyboard and mouse. The TV screenshots in the subsequent function introduction of this article are screenshots achieved by using the USB keyboard.

The origin (Yantai) and model of Sharp TV are marked on the back: LCD-45T45A， The input voltage is mains 220V~50Hz, and the power is 96W. Notice that the right side is marked with 3C electric appliance certification, and emphasize that "in order to avoid electric shock, do not open the enclosure without authorization or repair the internal parts by yourself, please hand over the maintenance matters to professional personnel".

The first of the two pictures above is the 45 inch Internet TV of Sharp that was evaluated this time, and the second is the old Sharp that was purchased in 2009. Sharp's TV logo is placed in the center below the front of the fuselage. The old Sharp is the long speaker of the TV below the LOGO, which is also the highlight of the old Sharp. The separate long speaker of Xiaomi TV is like the speaker of the old Sharp (think of Xiaomi MIX and Sharp Crystal, there seems nothing wrong, ha ha). However, the new Sharp has the sound placed at the rear instead of a separate speaker bar in the front.

Xiaomi TV has redefined the definition of the thickness of the one yuan coin. Do we want to break through this concept? Ha ha, I think I have no integrity. Yes, Sharp TV is much thinner than 50 cents. The combination of the iPhone 5 and the new Sharp is smaller than 50 cents, hmm.

Sharp's remote control is where I want to complain. Nowadays, many smart TVs support Bluetooth remote control, but this new Sharp still uses the traditional infrared remote control mode. Therefore, if there is a coffee table or an obstacle between your remote control and the TV, the infrared remote control will fail. However, if there are no obstacles, even if the remote control is back to the TV, it is OK. Well, at this point, I'm still looking forward to supporting Bluetooth remote control. Unfortunately, from the current point of view, this TV should not support it, because I haven't found any Bluetooth related options in the system settings.

3、 Introduction | Sharp's advantages

As we mentioned earlier, Sharp has achieved gratifying brand effect in terms of screen and cost performance in 2009. Even today, there are a lot of loyal Sharp screen fans. They don't buy TV without Sharp screen (it doesn't mean it must be Sharp TV, just the screen). The new Sharp also brings more affordable Youku members to users, so that we can watch more popular movies and TV plays for free. Note: Please connect the wired or wireless network for the first time, otherwise skipping will cause activation failure.

After correct networking, activation is successful! In addition, they also gave 2 video tickets, plus their own members will give 2 each month, so I can directly see four video tickets in my Youku. I learned from Baidu that the video tickets can see some paid movies, but they are already diamond members, and still need to pay? After watching some movies like "Donkey Gets Water" which have just been launched, you can watch them without advertising.

For ordinary entertainment programs, it is not a problem. The personal home network environment is China Unicom's 20M peer-to-peer network, which is not too high, but for high-definition resources, 20M is also enough (Unicom should also speed up in the background, and the actual download speed can reach 3 trillion per second).

The membership is valid for 354 days. What should we do after one year? Hey, there's no need to think so far. First, we use free Youku members. Because Sharp Smart TV can also download other video software, such as Tencent Cloud audition. My personal mobile card is Tencent Xiaowang Card, which can be recharged and given to members with many benefits. It really doesn't need software like Taijie and Quan Ju. Youku members and Tencent video members are so wayward.

Since you are a member, please enjoy the VIP service quickly. "July and Ansheng" has been seen once on the mobile phone. It has a larger and clearer screen on the TV, and is a very philosophical film.

It simply tested the color reproduction and resolution of the screen. Because this Sharp Clear 45 inch TV does not support 4K screens, it still has some graininess when viewed closely. Considering the price and positioning of this TV, I can still say that it is much better than the old Sharp.

If you have your favorite TV application, you can also insert a USB stick with APK installation package to install it directly. For example, I personally like to put an app called "Sofa Manager" on the USB flash drive. Every time I install it, I can download other TV applications.

When the mobile phone and TV are in the same LAN, we can use the mobile phone to directly project the screen. Sharp's support for Apple's system is obviously better than Android's. According to the test, my Android projection screen often requires several clicks to connect, while Apple's mobile phone can project the screen with one button. This function is more practical when you need to use your mobile phone to cast a screen for explanation.

4、 Function usage | Not a fancy UI

In order to better experience the product, I started writing the evaluation report within nearly two weeks of use. On Tuesday, we checked again whether Sharp TV has new firmware. The new Sharp can be upgraded through the network and local methods. The firmware package is about 500 megabytes. The upgrade was completed soon. Let's see what the new system will do. In order to make you see more clearly, the following screenshots are all taken by using the Print Screen function on the keyboard to access Sharp USB.

By comparing the "system information" in the system settings with the "equipment information" in the sofa butler, the new Sharp uses the ARM CA53 dual core processor, and the operating frequency of only 1GHz is not a high configuration. The GPU uses Mali720, 1GB DDR3 memory, 3.78GB system storage space, and supports extended storage. Judging from the score given by the sofa steward, 5337 is already a low score in the TV and box series. Will the system fluency decline as a result? Let's continue to look down.

When comparing with the old Sharp, my biggest feeling is that in addition to the big difference on the screen (the next section will be compared), the old Sharp's speaker bar bass effect is still very powerful. The bass of the new Sharp is not turned to the maximum by default. If you like bass, you can appropriately increase the "bass" volume in the sound. Of course, if you are an audio enthusiast, you'd better equip a more powerful audio set.

The screen color of the new Sharp is white, but it doesn't matter. In the system image settings, we can adjust the color white balance in detail according to the user's preferences. For example, we can slightly increase the red gain, which will make the color look warmer and more comfortable (just representing personal preferences, like the warmer screen).

The TV UI design is OK, but for friends who like to download TV applications by themselves, every time you turn on the TV, you have to move from the leftmost source to the right. After recommendations, TV dramas, movies, variety shows, children, members, and shopping, you can enter the application field. It is a bit cumbersome. If you can support custom applications on the first screen, I think it will give users a better experience. Therefore, I don't think Sharp's UI is very powerful. I can only say that it is standard.

Not fast and gorgeous UI does not mean that the fluency is reduced and the function is lacking. If this TV is not smooth enough, it should be blamed on this traditional infrared remote control. When I use an app like "Wukong Remote Control" on my mobile phone, the system is smooth. When using the remote control, because the buttons are soft and the remote control cannot be used when there are obstacles, I will feel a slight blockage. Functionally, you can set the image quality in the default Youku resources, and select different definitions according to the network speed.

For the file management provided by the system, I prefer this app called "Little White File Manager". In addition to the management of local USB interface files, it also supports viewing the home network (such as a router with a hard disk), and can also browse the audio and video resources in the route. However, this TV does not support 4K video, so you may be disappointed if you want to watch 4K resources on this Sharp TV.

For the video on the route or local USB flash disk, we can use the default Xiaobai player to play it. Click the setting button to select and set its decoding method, subtitle matching, etc.

In my application, the above are several TV applications commonly used by individuals, and I recommend them to you. Apps like TV Cat and TV Home can also be set to self start. For example, every time Sharp TV is turned on, it can automatically enter the TV Home for CCTV live broadcast. We won't talk too much about the resources we bring with us, such as multi screen interaction. After all, smart TV is also very popular now, and I believe everyone will also use such resources.

5、 Comparison with brands | the next seven years

The above is a detailed comparison between the old Sharp and the new Sharp. The video is long, and the clean children's shoes can be skipped. Just look at the following comparison.

The above two pictures show the old 37 inch Sharp I bought in 2009 on the left, the new 45 inch Sharp on the right, and the original computer picture on the lower right. Due to the insufficient performance of the shooting equipment, it is inevitable that there will be a white balance imbalance. Through the actual comparison on the spot, my personal conclusion is that compared with the original color, the new Sharp is better than the old Sharp in color restoration, but it is not the most authentic restoration. You can see that the new Sharp is slightly lighter in color, while the old Sharp is obviously color biased. It seems that looking at the pure color picture alone does not explain anything. Let's compare it again through three groups of pictures.

In the stills of Your Name, in the original picture, the clouds in the lower left corner are yellow, and the skin on the legs of the heroine is normal Asian skin color. On the new Sharp, the cloud color in the lower left corner is not yellow enough, and it is slightly lighter, and the skin color is white; On the old Sharp, the clouds are obviously more yellow, and the skin color is obviously reddish.

In an indoor picture with a darker background, the two Sharp TVs deviate from the restoration of the floor color, both of which are blue (the original picture is grayish blue). Similarly, in the skin color of the characters, the new Sharp is white, while the old Sharp is obviously red.

It is even more obvious in Iron Man with dark red armor. New Sharp can restore the color of dark red armor more accurately, but the blue black background is also blue; The old Sharp not only has a blue background, but his dark red armor has turned into bright red armor, which is too colorful.

6、 Conclusion

Through 15 days of long-term use, the author has been accustomed to the visual enjoyment brought by the new Sharp. It can be said that under the default system settings, the performance of the new Sharp is not perfect in terms of speakers, especially the bass effect, and the overall color is light and white. Fortunately, we can increase the red gain by adjusting the picture, which can better restore the true color of the video picture. A 45 inch TV is just the right size for a small family. If you already have a 55 inch or 60 inch large TV, you can also install a light 45 inch Sharp TV in your bedroom, which is an affordable 1-year Youku VIP diamond member, and a feature rich system UI. Especially for fans who like Sharp screens, it is definitely worth the money.

During the whole experience period, the traditional infrared remote control of the new Sharp is the weak point of the user experience, which will inevitably make users complain. So my personal suggestion is that if there is room for further optimization, I hope to upgrade the remote control to a Bluetooth remote control. Because no matter how good the resources and smooth the system UI are, if the remote control does not match the hand feel, users may feel uncomfortable. According to the fairy tale, there will be a rainbow after the rain, and so will the products. Only when the pain of the product experience is found, can the subsequent products be updated and upgraded to achieve a better user experience. Relying on the intersection of time, the old Sharp has accompanied me through the last seven years, and the years stand on the branches of the season. The new Sharp will move to the next seven years. Gorgeous transformation, indifferent to fleeting years
