The UD27U features a colorful TV guide as part of its smart features as well as a more basic but complete channel list available from the main menu.

Unlike the Samsung HU8550 and H6400 LCD televisions, the Sharp UD27U showed me every video pixel of 720p broadcasts for improved picture detail. Although its initial channel scanning speed was slow, the TV found more stations than other TVs I’ve tested recently and its tuner proved very good at maintaining a stable signal lock. I was impressed with the UD27U’s ability to tune local digital stations using a simple indoor antenna.
Remote reception was excellent from everywhere in the room. The TV’s slender baton-style remote has lots of small buttons and no keypad backlight, but its tactile feedback was good and the oversized Netflix button should prove popular with subscribers. I was less impressed with the UD27’s 3D audio effect options, and a wall-mount sound mode degraded sound quality compared to leaving this setting off with a mounted configuration. However, the UD27’s stereo speakers (2x 10W) are augmented with a dedicated 15W subwoofer, and this 2.1-channel audio configuration proved capable of very loud volume levels with minimal distortion of the high-quality audio tracks that I sampled. I continue to regard the pricier Sony X900B and its beautiful fixed side speakers as the gold standard for built-in audio quality. The Sharp AQUOS 4K also features a single component video input, an SD card slot, and three USB ports. Soundbar users will find the TV’s optical audio port provides bitstream output with connected HDMI devices. HDMI 1 was ARC- (audio return channel) enabled for use with compatible AV receivers, and HDMI 4 provided HDCP 2.2 support for use with protected video sources like the Sony FMP-X10 4K Media Player.Ĭompared to the initial troubles I experience with ARC output on the JVC DM65USR, all alternate audio options with the Sharp UD27U enabled without fuss. The TV’s four HDMI ports were compatible with video formats up to 4K60 with 4:2:0 chroma sub-sampling. I’ve found THX video testing to be some of the most stringent in the industry, but how its recommendations translate into a shipping display product have left much to be desired. The Sharp AQUOS 4K UHD TVs feature THX 4K certification that involves more than 400 lab tests to help ensure accurate and faithful video reproduction. Standard wall mounting hardware is compatible with the UD27U, and a pair of beefy “scorpion” style stands provided solid stability but required a much wider resting surface compared to centered stand designs or dual-placement configurations like that of the Sony X900B. I appreciated a menu option to toggle the bright white LED for a more immersive dark-room viewing experience. The TV’s thin-bezel design (0.5-inches wide) is outlined with an attractive strip of brushed aluminum, and centered along the frame’s lower edge is a matching brushed-finished badge that houses the IR receiver and power LED. The UD27U line is available in two screen sizes: 60-inches and 70-inches.

The Sharp LC-60UD27U 60-Inch Aquos 4K Ultra HD 2160p 120Hz Smart LED TV- $1797(UD27U line) is a fine balance of technology, style, and value that further impresses with professional calibration. TV manufacturers are quickly transitioning larger-sized screens to 4K Ultra High-Definition (UHD) resolution, and the latest wave of models are bringing must-have features at increasingly tempting prices.
