Sharp 45-inch Internet TV makes life more colorful

I. Preface | My Understanding of Television

As a man, you must take your career into consideration and take care of your family. With a stable or high material foundation, life can become more colorful. Although the old saying goes "poor, poor, and rich", it is the bottom of our daily work and life that we must do everything we can, not be lazy, not discouraged, and not be pessimistic. I am also the most common member of a mortal body. After I get off work every day, I spend time with my wife and children except for the occasional overtime and bowing. Those who are close to Zhu and Chi are black. Of course, they do not mean that their family members have dark red, but their wives like to chase TV dramas. Therefore, under the influence of them, I will also watch TV dramas, such as the two TV dramas of Li Yifeng who were very hot recently. "Sparrow" and "Qianyun Zhi" have never loved watching soap operas. They really liked the two TV shows by Li Yifeng. The children like to watch some of Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons, and movies like “Your Name” are very good. Therefore, television has basically become a medium to accompany family members. It is also enjoyable for everyone to watch TV shows together.

Before I got this Sharp TV, I still use the Sharp 37-inch TV bought in 2009 and bought my parents a 2s collector's Edition TV. I can say that the 37-inch is really small for the moment, but it's good to be in the living room. Not big, so it has been too lazy to change. In the past seven years, Sharp TV has never had any problems. From Jinzhou to Shenyang, and from Shenyang back to Jinzhou, this Sharp TV has also been frustrated by me. Even so, quality can now be described by a single word. It is "hard rock" (not ASUS Oh, Asus does not have TV, huh, huh). This time Sharp clear TV series first gave me a surprise, that is, now Sharp Smart TV is actually the first time to activate the Youku member will be presented for one year, and is a diamond member Oh, to know that the price of Youku Gold Member is 169 yuan a year When we use Alibaba data smart TVs or boxes, we will upgrade to Diamonds, and Sharp 45-inch Internet TVs use such a system.

The reason why like Sharp, naturally can not be separated from its high-definition screen, Sharp screen in the industry counted as the industry's leading boss, which is well-known. The main reason is because Sharp had a very high price/performance ratio in 2009. Today, I did not expect this Sharp TV was only 2999 yuan, the cost is still to force. When the girl saw the food on the Sharp screen, it was really mouth-watering. He quickly turned, haha. OK, let's go straight to experience it.

Second, the product details | expansion can not be less

The bottom right corner of the product is labeled "DOLBY AUDIO" and supports Dolby sound. After the Sharp TV is connected to a 220V power supply, the system automatically enters a low-power standby state, and the product power indicator is displayed in red. We simply click on the remote control's power button to turn it on, eliminating the tedious physical buttons on the body. Similar to my family's old Sharp, each time you turn on your phone, you have to go to the front of the TV and press the power supply. This time, it's a simple step.

The factory default is the base installation. If you need to install the TV wall, you need to purchase the relevant accessories. The design of the base is also very convenient. The base is inserted from both sides of the bottom of the fuselage, and the two bolts can be tightened. It is very stable.

Although equipped with a remote control, physical buttons such as power supply, menu, input, channel, volume, etc. are still set on the body for backup. If the remote controller is lost... I don't want to talk. I used to lose a ghost in the box and knew where to throw it. But even if the remote control is lost, everyone does not have to worry about it. Nowadays, smart TVs can all be operated with mobile phones. Apps such as “Goku Remote Control” and “Fly-fly Smart” can be easily used as remote controls.

The bottom of the back of the fuselage is also designed with digital audio output, LAN cable port, HDMI high-definition interface, the traditional AV interface, audio input and output, there is a "service-specific" is not very understanding of its use, for the masses of people said, These interfaces also have higher HDMI usage, and the current application of other standards can be said to be smaller and smaller. Here Tucao, Sharp this smart TV interface position is all down, so in the subsequent insertion of the data line will feel a little strenuous, not the old style backwards more convenient way.

In the right side of the fuselage there are TF card expansion, USB interface *2, HDMI (there are 2 above, this is the third) and cable signal interface. Having a USB means that this smart TV supports browsing USB devices. We can even use the keyboard and mouse. The TV screenshot in the following function introduction of this article is a screen capture using a USB keyboard.

The back is marked with the origin of Sharp TV (Yantai), and the model: LCD-45T45A, the input voltage is 220V ~ 50Hz, power is 96W. Note that the right side marked with 3C electrical certification, while emphasizing that "to avoid electric shock, please do not open the case or repair the internal parts by yourself, please refer maintenance matters to professionals."

The first two pictures above are Sharp's 45-inch Internet TV, and the second one is the old Sharp purchased in 2009. Sharp's TV logos are placed in the center of the front of the fuselage. The old Sharp is under the LOGO is the TV's long speaker, which is the highlight of the old Sharp, millet TV separate long speaker is like the old Sharp's own speakers (think of millet MIX and Sharp Crystal seems nothing No, haha). And the new Sharp is to put the sound behind, without a separate speaker bar in front.

Millet TV has redefined the definition of a dollar coin thickness. Do we have to break through this concept too? Haha, I don’t think there’s any parade. Yes, the thickness of Sharp TV is far narrower than the thickness of 5 centimeters. The iPhone 5 and the new Sharp fit together and are smaller than 5 cents, eh.

Sharp's remote control is where I want Tucao, nowadays many smart TVs support Bluetooth remote control, but this new Sharp still uses the traditional infrared remote control. Therefore, if you have a coffee table or obstacle between the 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, there is no problem. Well, at this point, I still look forward to supporting the Bluetooth remote control. Unfortunately, from the current point of view, this TV should not be supported because I did not find Bluetooth-related options in the system settings.

Third, to get started | Sharp advantages

Earlier we mentioned that in 2009 Sharp had achieved a very welcome branding effect on screen and price/performance ratio. Even today, there are a lot of loyal Sharp screen fans. Non-sharp TV screens don't buy (it doesn't mean it's a Sharp TV, just a screen). This new Sharp also brings more affordable Youku members to users, allowing us to watch new movies and TV shows for free. It should be noted that if you turn on the power for the first time, please connect the wired or wireless network first, otherwise skipping directly will lead to activation failure.

After the correct connection, the activation is successful! And also two complimentary movie coupons, plus two members each month, so I can directly see four coupons in Youkuoli. You can see some of them from Baidu. Pay movies, but it is already a diamond member, there are still need to pay? Watch some of the just-line soon after the "donkey water" such a movie, you can avoid direct advertising to watch, cool and ha.

For ordinary entertainment programs, naturally, the personal home network environment is China Unicom's 20M peer-to-peer network. Although it is not too high, for high-definition resources, 20M is enough (China Unicom should also be in the background Speed ​​up, actual download speed can reach 3 megabits per second).

The membership is valid for 354 days. How do we do it after one year? Well, there is no need to think about it so far. First, use the free Youku membership. What we have is Zhaohao. Because Sharp smart TV can also download other video software, such as Tencent cloud audition, my personal mobile phone card for Tencent Xiao Wang card, recharge members, a lot of benefits, really do not need to Tai Jie, all polymerization of software, Youku membership, Tencent video members are so capricious.

Since it is a member, then enjoy this VIP service. "July and An Sheng" has been seen once on the mobile phone side. It is a bigger, clearer, and philosophical film on the TV.

Simple test of the screen color reproduction and resolution, because this Sharp clear 45-inch TV does not support 4K screen, so close to see the situation there is still some grainy. Taking into account the price and positioning of this TV, but also to say the past, compared to the old Sharp is already a lot better.

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

When the mobile phone and TV are in the same local area network, we can use the mobile phone to cast pictures directly. Sharp's support for Apple's system is significantly better than Android. After testing, my Android screen often has to click several times to connect, and Apple's mobile phone can be screened in one click. If you need to use mobile phone screen to explain, this feature is more practical.

Fourth, functional use | not gorgeous UI

In order to better experience the product, it began writing evaluation reports within nearly two weeks of use. This Tuesday, once again detected whether there is a new firmware for Sharp TV. New Sharp can upgrade it through both network and local. The firmware package has more than 500 megabytes. It will be upgraded in no time, and the new system will be What kind of performance? In order to make everyone see more clearly, the following screenshots are all using the keyboard to access Sharp USB, using the Print Screen function on the keyboard to take screenshots.

Through the "system information" in the system settings and sofa equipment home "equipment information" for comparison, the new Sharp is using ARM CA53 dual-core processor, the operating frequency is only 1GHz and not a high configuration. The GPU uses the Mali 720 with 1GB of DDR3 memory, and the system storage space is 3.78GB, which supports extended storage. Judging from the running points given by the sofa housekeeper, 5337 has already been a lower score in the television and box series. Will the system fluency decrease as a result? Let's go down.

When comparing with old Sharp, the biggest feeling for me is that apart from the big difference on the screen (the next section will be compared), the other thing is that the old Sharp speaker bass effect is still very awesome. The new Sharp's bass is not open by default to the maximum, if you like bass, you can properly increase the sound of the "bass" volume. Of course, if you are an audiophile, it's still a special group of audio speakers.

The screen color of New Sharp personally feels white, but it does not matter, in the system image settings, we can adjust the color white balance according to the user's preferences, for example, you can slightly increase the red gain, make the color look warmer More comfortable (only personal preference, like the warmer screen).

The TV UI design is OK, but for those who like to download their own TV applications, every time they turn on the TV, they must move from the leftmost source and then to the right. Recommendations, TV shows, movies, variety shows, children, members, After shopping, you can enter the application interface. It is a bit tedious. If you can support custom applications on the first screen, I think it will give the user a better experience. Therefore, I personally think that Sharp's UI is not very powerful and can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

Not quick and gorgeous UI does not mean there is a decrease in fluency and a lack of features. If this TV is slightly lacking in fluency, it should be blamed on this traditional infrared remote control. When I use an app like the "Goku remote control" on the mobile phone, the system is very smooth. When the remote controller is used, the buttons may not be remotely controlled due to the soft keys and individual obstacles, so they may feel slightly uncomfortable. Functionally, the default Youku resources can set the quality, according to the speed of the network to select different clarity.

For the system's own file management, I prefer this app called "white file manager", in addition to the management of the local USB interface file, it also supports viewing the home network (such as a router with a hard disk), can also browse routes Audio and video resources. However, this TV does not support 4K video, so if you want to watch 4K resources on this Sharp TV, you may be disappointed.

For routing or local U disk video, we can use the default white player to play, click on the settings button can also be its decoding method, subtitle matching and other choices and settings.

In my application, these are several TV applications that are commonly used by individuals and are also recommended to everyone. Among them, apps such as TV cats and TV sets can also be set to start automatically. For example, each time you turn on your Sharp TV, you can automatically enter TV homes to broadcast TV on CCTV CCTV. Similar resources such as multi-screen interaction, we will not do too much to explain, after all, smart TV is also very popular, I believe we will all use such resources.

V. Comparison with the brand | The next seven years

The above is a detailed comparison of Old Sharp and New Sharp. The video is longer. Children who like clean and neat shoes can skip. Compare the following directly.

The left side of the above two figures are the old 37-inch Sharp I bought in 2009 and the 45-inch New Sharp on the right, and the computer image in the lower right corner. Due to the lack of 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: Compared with the color of the original picture, New Sharp is better than the old Sharp's color reproduction, but it is not the most authentic restoration. As you can see, New Sharp is slightly lighter in color, and Old Sharp is a clear color cast. Just looking at the solid color map also does not seem to explain anything, and we then compare it again through the three groups of pictures.

"Your name" stills, the original picture, the bottom left corner of the cloud is yellow, the heroine's leg skin is also normal Asian skin color. On New Sharp, the clouds in the lower left corner are not yellow enough to be slightly yellow and the skin color is white. On old Sharp, the clouds are much more yellow and the skin color is reddish.

In a dimly-lit indoor image, the two Sharp TVs deviated from the color of the floor and both turned blue (the original picture was gray-blue). Similarly, in the human skin color, New Sharp is white, and old Sharp is obviously reddish.

The iron man in crimson armor is even more obvious. New Sharp can more accurately restore the crimson armor, but the background blue is also blue. Old Sharp is not only bluish, but the crimson armor is already Become a large red armor, the color is too rich.

6. Conclusion

Through 15 days of long-term use, the author has become accustomed to the visual enjoyment brought by New Sharp. It can be said that the default system settings, in the speaker, especially the bass effect, the performance of New Sharp is not perfect, the color is also so the overall color is pale and white. But fortunately we can increase the red gain by adjusting the picture to better restore the true color of the video picture. The 45-inch TV is the right size for small homes. If you already have a 55-inch and 60-inch large TV, you can also install a lightweight 45-inch Sharp TV in your bedroom, affordable 1-year Youku VIP Diamond member, feature-rich system UI, especially for those who prefer Sharp screen. For fans, it is definitely worth the money.

During the entire experience period, New Sharp's traditional infrared remote control is a short experience on the user experience, it will inevitably make users rant, so here is my personal advice is that if the subsequent optimization space, on the remote control look forward to upgrading For Bluetooth remote control. Because no matter how good the resources and system UI are, the user may feel uncomfortable if the remote control does not match the touch. According to the fairy tale, there will be a rainbow after the rain and the products will be the same. Only by discovering the pain of the product experience can we update and upgrade the follow-up products to achieve a better user experience.

Reliance on the intersection of time, old Sharp has been with me for the last seven years, the years stand on the branch of the season, New Sharp will move to the next seven years. Gorgeous change, light look at fleeting ...
