This time we bring you the first new product launched by Sharp after Foxconn's capital injection - AQUOS Sharp Kuangshi S60. Sharp, as a TV manufacturer with a long history, has a history of more than one hundred years. It has also developed and manufactured LCD screens for 44 years. Therefore, Sharp is one of the few manufacturers in the world that has mastered the core technology of LCD panels, providing screens to many TV, display and mobile phone manufacturers, It is one of the most powerful LCD panel providers at present.
However, with the marriage between Sharp and Foxconn on April 3, 2016, Sharp officially joined Hon Hai's family. After a year of resource integration, Sharp finally brought us this highly concerned AQUOS broadview S60 smart TV.
When it comes to AQUOS, readers who are not very familiar with Sharp may not understand it very well. AQUOS is a LCD TV brand launched by Sharp in 2001, which aims to pursue high image quality and sound quality, representing Sharp's top LCD TV series. The protagonist of this picture show, AQUOS Sharp Kuangshi S60/S60U, is one of the most high-end models of Sharp's full range LCD TVs.
In terms of installation, AQUOS Sharp Kuangshi S60 is quite convenient. The two triangular brackets are fixed with three screws. It can be easily done according to the operation guide in the manual. The support is made of all metal material, and the bottom is equipped with rubber anti-skid feet. The material is quite solid and firm. The surface is also treated with a slightly frosted process, which can reflect uneven faint luster, and is both beautiful and practical.
After the installation of the support, we can put the TV up. What about it? Does it feel as thin as a cicada's wings? AQUOS Sharp Kuangshi has two versions, the integrated S60 and the split S60U. This time, we bring you the S60. Because of its integrated design, it is more convenient to install. Compared with other brands' models of the same level, even the all-in-one S60 is still very thin.
Even at the thickest position of the fuselage, it is still very thin, and there are bolt holes at the bottom to fix it with the bracket. The bracket with triangular structure design is very firm in structure. After locking three fixing screws, the support for the fuselage is quite stable. Even the 60 inch thin fuselage does not shake too much.
In order to prevent the screen from being damaged during transportation, in addition to the large foam protection block in the package, a layer of paper shell+foam is also pasted on the screen to protect the screen from accidental damage. The protection measures are very careful.
On the back side of the fuselage, the segmented design of high light mirror top+carbon fiber texture bottom is adopted. The main circuit of the fuselage is located under the arc shaped carbon fiber backplane below. All interfaces of the fuselage have a cover plate design. After opening and changing the cable, the cover plate can be covered back to maintain the overall beauty of the fuselage.
The highlighted backplane on the top can almost be used as a mirror with excellent mirror effect. For users who want to use the TV as a partition, the decoration of this design is outstanding and can be integrated with most homes.
The top and bottom of the carbon fiber textured arc backplane have hollow heat dissipation holes, which can quickly dissipate the heat generated by the circuit.
In terms of buttons, AQUOS Sharp Kuangshi S60 is very simple in design. The whole machine has only one remote sensing button that takes into account the direction, determination and power supply. You can start the machine at a touch.
Then came the very amazing front part. AQUOS Sharp Kuangshi S60 uses a 60 inch Sharp original panel with a resolution of 4K, which has about 8.29 million effective pixels. The display panel uses Sharp's patented polymer alignment film light sensing technology, which has a higher backlight transmittance and 1.6 times the static contrast of the conventional panel.
Before the screen is lit, the display panel can also act as a mirror, but we don't need to worry about reflection. Before starting up, we also have such concerns, but at the moment after the screen is lit, we eliminate all doubts and concerns. This display panel fully deserves the name of original Sharp.
In terms of body details, the design language of AQUOS Sharp Kuangshi S60 is very simple. In addition to the huge screen on the front of the body, there are only Sharp's LOGO and the speaker integrated with the body at the bottom. The speaker adopts the color contrast design opposite to the body, which at first glance seems to be integrated with the base.
The connection part between the speaker and the bracket adopts a gentle transition design. The bracket is completely connected to the speaker, with strong integrity. The slightly curved bracket is also very artistic. There is also a sticker on the lower left corner of the fuselage, indicating that the display panel is from Sharp's original Japanese panel.
After the TV is turned on, a sense of shock immediately emerges. The 1.6 mm wide frame makes the screen proportion of the whole machine reach an unprecedented height. In addition, the 60 inch large size makes the visual impact very shocking. The splash screen uses the same purple tone as the Sharp conference venue, which also represents the integration of Foxconn's brand blue and Sharp's brand red, and the new Sharp is more open, inclusive and international.
The boot animation is very beautiful. The purple tone+halo is quite small and fresh. Although it is only a short boot screen, it is still very pleasant. The lightweight design of the machine body can make it perfectly adapt to the fresh Nordic style decoration, without any conflict with other homes.
Except for the slightly wide bottom edge, the other three sides are all designed with ultra narrow borders, which has a strong visual impact. The S60 uses a design that integrates the speaker and the body, while its sibling model, the S60U, uses a split speaker design, so the bottom edge will be narrower. However, both have advantages and disadvantages, depending on the user's preference.
We can use the one yuan coin as a reference, so we can understand how amazing the 1.6mm frame is.
As the distance increases, the impact of the ultra narrow frame becomes stronger. The classic color matching of the fuselage is very harmonious with various styles of home. Our simple solid wood style TV cabinet is a perfect match.
In terms of screen panel, Sharp's exclusive detail image processing and edge image processing technology are used to restore the true natural color of the image to the maximum extent. In addition, Sharp has also added a wide gamut, with 96% NTSC wide gamut technology, which is higher than the existing wide gamut standard (* NTSC1931), and can bring more rich color expression and more natural colors.
In addition, Kuangshi S60 also has Sharp's landmark new brilliant color technology. The use of side entry backlight makes the light and shade performance more excellent. It can create a deeper black and brighter sense of light, making both black and white more incisive.
The system has always been the strength of domestic smart TV. As a local manufacturer, it has a more thorough understanding of users' usage habits. The TV system of Japanese and Korean manufacturers has always been somewhat ungrounded. However, there is no need to worry about this time. The system problems that plagued Sharp in the past have been greatly improved since Foxconn took over. It is equipped with the newly developed Taitum UI intelligent TV system. The operation mode has been basically the same as that of the domestic system. Although the UI still needs to be improved, it has been a huge improvement for Sharp.
As Sharp's most intelligent TV at present, there is nothing else on the body except the rocker button that takes into account the switch, so it is more important whether the remote control is easy to use. The model of the remote control provided with S60 is GB25WJ, which has a good feel. All functions and operations are also very convenient. It also has a voice recognition function. Press the voice key gently to start using voice input.
The modeling is also very unique. The back uses a carbon fiber texture similar to the Kuangshi S60 backplane, which is good in texture. The remote control uses two AA batteries for power supply, and two original Sharp batteries are included with the remote control.
In our initial experience, whether it is colorful cartoons, documentaries of real scenes, or action films with grand scenes, their performance is quite excellent, rich in color, clear in details, and the picture is very transparent.
In addition to the original Sharp screen, the Kuangshi S60 has also made a lot of effort in terms of sound quality. It is equipped with four bass units, and the pronunciation unit emits sound downward, which can make the sound box resonate with the desktop. Using the external space as the resonance chamber, it can dive deeper and make the bass stronger. The YAMAHA Audio Engine range expansion and repair technology is also added, which can repair the audio quality lost due to compression, make the bass more harmonious and deep, and reconstruct the loss of mid and high pitch elements caused by compression.
On the whole, as the most high-end model of Sharp, AQUOS Sharp Kuangshi S60 is almost impeccable in terms of system localization, video resource richness, picture quality and sound effect. In addition to its ultra narrow frame and ultra-high appearance, there is no doubt that Kuangshi S60 has become one of the strongest 60 inch smart televisions at present.
