mimic a 4k TV but supposedly without the
price tag sharp manages this by
splitting its unique 4 pixel array into
two effectively doubling the resolution
but this does have its problems the
resolution will change according to the
colors displayed on screen so it's

vertical pixel structure a real 4k TV
looks a lot sharper the company has
upgraded the smart central platform
which looks pretty snazzy with universal

black levels are good shadow detail is
also good but the revelation upscale
engine that makes everything 4k has a
habit of sharpening noise in dark areas
which gets distracting I personally
can't see the Sharps hybrid technology
sticking around for very long while
having a 4k input is nice it won't be
that unusual either as many TVs will be
able to do that very soon in the end
this is a good TV but twice as expensive
as the Le 650 which is much better value
