Harman-Kardon audio system
The 2018 TV lineup represents the flagship line of the Japanese company Sharp. It attracts attention not only with a high-quality image, but also with excellent sound.
Sharp LC-49CUG8052E received the usual audio system in terms of main indicators: 2 channels with a total power of 20 watts. But these are integrated speakers, developed by Hi-Fi sound specialist Harman-Kardon, designed to enrich the video experience with sound at the right level.
Ultra HD 4K video
The 49-inch panel supports a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, which guarantees a high level of detail when viewing relevant content. And the scaling technology allows you to improve the clarity of any reproduced content.
Sharp LC-49CUG8052E has good peak brightness parameters (350 cd/m2). The panel smoothly reproduces dynamic scenes without blurring, which is facilitated by Active Motion 400 technology, which provides a frame rate of up to 400 fps.
The overall image quality deteriorates significantly when viewed at large angles: the brightness and contrast decrease, there may be flashes when viewed in the dark. Also, the model does not support HDR, which will not allow you to enjoy flawless colour reproduction when playing the corresponding content.
Aquos Net+ platform
By connecting the TV to the Internet (wired or Wi-Fi), you can watch YouTube videos, movies on Netflix and other online cinemas. A standard set of interfaces will also allow you to play content from various external devices.
In general, the proprietary Aquos Net + shell on the Sharp LC-49CUG8052E is inferior to its counterparts. Users often complain about interruptions in the operation of Smart TV, a small selection of available applications, freezes, and not too fast work. A convenient remote control is designed to smooth these problems. It is not equipped with a traditional IR emitter, but with a radio transmitter, so that it does not need to be pointed at the TV for control.
An important plus of Sharp LC-49CUG8052E is an affordable price. So, if you want to get a 49-inch 4K panel for less than $500, then be sure to take a closer look at this TV.
