What are the new Sharp AQUOS XLED GU8500 and Sharp AQUOS TRU GN7000 series TVs

The new AQUOS XLED GU8500 series and AQUOS TRU GN7000 series are the brand’s newest and latest TVs that are designed to cater to home cinema enthusiasts.

Offering superior value and performance, the new AQUOS TRU GN7000 series are able to deliver rich colours and crisp detail on its 4K Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) LED display that is available in 55-inch, 65-inch and a large 75-inch form factor. By leveraging the power of the new X6 Revelation engine, the AQUOS TRU GN7000 series is able to offer deeper contrast for viewed content while a Deep Chroma layer on the LED panel offers richer colour reproduction.

For those aspiring to a premium home cinema experience, the new AQUOS XLED GU8500 series leads the pack. Featuring a 4K resolution Xtreme mini LED display in either a 65-inch or a larger 75-inch Xtreme mini LED panel, the AQUOS XLED GU8500 series rely on a powerhouse combination of the enhanced X6 X-Revelation engine and a Deep Chroma quantum dot layer on the Xtreme mini LED display to offer superb brightness, deep blackness and rich colour reproduction. 

#1 Fast 120Hz refresh rate for smooth footage and gaming 

With the power of the enhanced X6 X-Revelation processor in the AQUOS XLED GU8500 series and the X6 Revelation processor in the AQUOS TRU GN7000 series, both TVs are able to offer a silky smooth 120Hz refresh rate at a full 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels), allowing for intense action movies and fast-moving sports shows to appear smoother looking onscreen as if you are right there in front of the action. 

What this means is that the screens refresh a displayed image 120 times per second, allowing for smoother looking motion while reducing onscreen motion blur and ensuring more fluid looking movement such as when a footballer sprints across the pitch or when an action hero leaps across the screen. 

In supported games, the 120Hz refresh rate also enables much smoother looking gameplay rather than a ghosting effect of faint after images seen in lower refresh rate displays. If you’re looking to experience content in an immersive new way, a 120Hz display such as that used in the XLED GU8500 series and the AQUOS TRU GN7000 series is the way to go.

#2 Pure colour reproduction and exquisite contrast with Deep Chroma Displays

One of the most defining features of the new AQUOS XLED GU8500 and the AQUOS TRU GN7000 series are their ability to offer superb contrast, deep blacks and breathtakingly vivid colour reproduction with the inclusion of a Deep Chroma Display enhanced backlight to offer truly enhanced colour purity in order to offer over a billion colours onscreen, making movies, games and more look rich, vivid and lifelike.

To achieve this, the AQUOS TRU GN7000 series TVs utilise a full array local dimming (FALD) LED display that increases the contrast ratio of played content while ensuring deep and rich colours via the inclusion of the Deep Chroma Display enhanced backlight.

To kick things up a notch, the more premium AQUOS XLED GU8500 series TVs feature Xtreme miniLEDs capable of offering precisely balanced whites and blacks even in high contrast footage, allowing for pure white and deep black rendition without compromising details.

To offer truly superior colour reproduction, the TVs also integrate  an enhanced Deep Chroma Quantum Dot layer that produces and amplifes the intensity of the three primary colours – red, blue, green – with superbly rich colour purity to enable the TVs to offer natural looking colour reproduction with brighter hues without overexaggerating the nuances of each colour, as if you’re seeing the real thing right before you.

#3 Superb convenience with hands-free voice controls and Google TV

When it comes to convenience, the AQUOS XLED GU8500 series and the AQUOS TRU GN7000 can’t be beat as both TVs feature full voice commands thanks to Google TV, allowing you to control playback, change channels, increase or decrease volume and other TV settings with just the power of your voice alone though both TVs also feature a full-fledged remote control for those who prefer one. 

Better yet, Google TV offers shortcuts to the world’s most popular video on demand content providers, allowing users to enjoy direct shortcuts to the likes of Netflix, YouTube, YouTube Music, Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV that are also available as dedicated buttons on the remote control too. Whether you’re a hands-on user or prefer changing settings with your voice alone, the AQUOS XLED GU8500 and the AQUOS TRU GN7000 and series ensures that home cinema won’t ever be the same again.

#4 Dolby Atmos tuned speakers with Dolby Digital Plus for vividly rich sound and Dolby Vision IQ for perfect visuals every time

Both the AQUOS XLED GU8500 series and the AQUOS TRU GN7000 series feature a pair of 15W speakers that form a stereo pair that are enhanced with support for Dolby Atmos for immersively realistic sounds paired with Dolby Digital+, a revolutionary audio technology that enhances the home theater surround sound experience with compatible content for richer, deeper audio.

This enables both of Sharp’s new home cinema TVs to offer excellent sound staging, high volumes and rich detail for movies, gaming, sports and other content too short of a dedicated soundbar.

Better yet, the TVs offer settings for Movies and Music as well as special settings for more unique content such as Sports, News where voices are enhanced for clarity. Users are also able to personally customise sound settings to taste as well.

To further enhance immersion, both the AQUOS XLED GU8500 and AQUOS TRU GN7000 series feature Dolby Vision IQ, an innovative feature that uses integrated sensors that detect ambient light conditions around the TV itself with an intelligent ambient light sensor, recognising if you’re viewing it in daylight or after dark in dim light and then intelligently adjusting the picture for perfect visuals every time without the screen looking dim or washed out.

#5 Seamlessly Elegant Design

As the centrepiece of your home, both of Sharp’s new TVs come in elegantly timeless and slim form factors that can seamlessly integrate into your home decor as if it was there all along.

Both the AQUOS XLED GU8500 and the AQUOS TRU GN700 series TVs host svelte form factors with ports strategically clustered for easy access while the XLED GU8500 hosts a recessed groove along its stand that allows for seamless, clutter-free cable management.
