Sharp TV LCD-60UG30A Super HIVI Cast Test

Next, we will enter the Super HiVi Cast test session. In this session, we will conduct more detailed tests on the dynamic clear lines, color transitions, contrast ratios, and primary color restoration capabilities of the Sharp TV LCD-60UG30A. The potential strength of this product, the following test pictures were taken in standard mode. (Because of the multiple digital conversions after taking the screen shots and the performance of the reader's display equipment, they are for reference only.)


As a 4K resolution LCD TV, there is currently only a 1080P test chart, so the test results are for reference only. After testing, Sharp TV LCD-60UG30A did not show distortion in the HD resolution test chart. The slashes and horizontal lines as well as the shortest vertical line in the test chart showed very consistent, no adhesion, and the edge of the line was clearly displayed.




The RGB primary color test is mainly to see whether the contours between various objects in the picture are clear. Although they are all solid color pictures, they also have layered feelings. If they are not clear in some parts of the color, it indicates that The ability to restore is not enough. From the RGB three primary color test results, this TV is very in place for the color, the color is extremely bright and colorful. At the same time, the overall level is rich, the transition details are well preserved, and the glassware's permeability is excellent, but it is slightly lacking in the green.


From the color ladder screen on the picture above, Sharp TV LCD-60UG30A performed smoothly in the color transition test, and the dividing line between each color block was clearly visible, especially the blue color performed best. The red and blue patches on the edge of the pyramid are still well-graded and perform quite well, but they do not perform well in green.


In the color saturation test, Sharp TV LCD-60UG30A overall picture quality and color reproduction capabilities are very good. It can be seen from the test chart that the screen display effect is more realistic and natural. Just like the one in the real life is seen by oneself, the saturation performance is full.


The smart contrast enhancement technology on Sharp TV LCD-60UG30A made the camera perform well in contrast tests. As can be seen from the above figure, the model is dressed in white clothes in a black and white background, and the contours on the clothes are still clearly visible. The slightest hints of clothes on the backs are also shown in detail. Especially the white model arm is well separated from the white background, and the details are clearer.

Sharp TV LCD-60UG30A power and radiation test

Next, we will conduct a guest observation on the power consumption and radiation level of the Sharp TV LCD-60UG30A. The first is the level of power consumption. We use a power meter for testing. The actual power consumption was measured at 0.5 degrees after 2 hours and 50 minutes of normal operation. Even if the average TV watching time is 4 hours per day, the power consumption is only about 4.9 degrees per week.


We then used a radiometer to test the radiation level of the Sharp TV LCD-60UG30A.



After testing, the front face of Sharp TV LCD-60UG30A has a radiation level of about 0.56μT, and the back is slightly higher. The highest radiation level is located near the back of the motherboard and is about 0.63μT.
