Sharp LC-80UE30U 80

We've talked to more than a few people who are hesitant about upsizing to a really big screen because they're concerned that they'll have to sit too far away. That might have been true for HDTVs, but the realities of Ultra HD TV are quite different. Sharp's 80" LC-80UE30U Ultra HD TV has four times the pixels of HD — its 4K images look much more detailed, and the smaller pixels mean you can sit closer and still enjoy a seamless image.

The LC-80UE30U features some of Sharp's more advanced picture technologies, like AquoMotion 480 to reduce motion blur in fast scenes, and AquoDimming, which can reveal more detail in dark areas. Whether your viewing tastes run to movies, sports, or TV shows, Sharp produces consistently brilliant and beautiful 4K images, and wraps them in elegantly sleek designs. 

Sharp's Revelation Upscaler

If you've been looking at 4K TVs you've probably already discovered how little true or "native" 4K content is available. And until the content catches up with the hardware, owners of Ultra HD TVs will be relying on their TV's ability to upconvert HD and other video formats to 4K.

Sharp's Revelation Upscaler takes a two-step approach to this critical task. First, a quad-core processor fine-tunes the original signal for optimal picture quality, removing as much digital noise and other artifacts as possible. Next, the upscaler analyzes and intelligently enhances the signal to create a 4K (3840 x 2160-pixel) image.

Android TV — the latest advance in smart TVs

The LC-80UE30U has the features and capabilities we expect from the latest Wi-Fi-equipped Smart TVs. Sharp's intuitive SmartCentral interface lets you quickly connect to your home's network for more entertainment choices. Stream 4K movies and TV shows from Netflix®, indulge in video snacking at YouTube®, and keep the music flowing with Rhapsody® and Pandora® Internet radio.

The LC-80UE30U's built-in Android operating system lets you do a lot of things you're used to doing on your tablet or smartphone. Log in to your Google ID to access a huge collection of apps, games and content from Google Play. And the Google Cast feature lets you stream movies, pictures, and TV shows from your iOS or Android-based phone, or from a laptop.
