I would like to describe a first impression of the TV here. I will, as soon as the 3D glasses and the WLAN stick supplied, extend the review accordingly.
Speaking of delivery. The TV comes with foot, remote control, two thick manuals and the only luxury the batteries. No 3D glasses, no WLAN stick.
I knew that before and clear, but at least a pair of glasses, or an HDMI cable would have been a nice train by Sharp.
The WLAN stick will cost 60-70 euros extra proud, glasses around 50. Will you have a CI slot for use HD +, so come again to 65 euros.
I ask this to not be understood as a criticism but as an indication that a LC60LE652E with two glasses and accessories easily-called 200 euro more costs, as reported here. This is, however, of course, also in the nature of active 3D TVs.
Compared with the remote control in piano lacquer finish of LG, with whom I served my old 42 inch monitor, the remote control of the Sharp LC60LE652E looks more like those satellite receivers accompanied from the hardware store. Bothers me personally not much, but you should know.
It remains the only small disappointment so far.
For the first test a satellite cable has been completed and a media PC via HDMI.
The ports are well labeled and in "viewing direction" left relatively well labeled and clearly accessible on the rear panel.
The first launch through the establishment of Satelittensignals and- if existing network connectivity. This I had to skip. However, the WLAN stick is already sent, so I'll be able to weave with this point in the near future.
Well, the device is largely self-explanatory and so could take the first discipline, namely TV are taken via satellite in attack.
First, the public service broadcasters, the World Championships in Athletics: Wow! It has been done in the last six years as old was in fact the predecessor, but some. The picture is up in the corners evenly illuminated, crystal clear and sharp.
When zapping was then clear that a TV is only as good as its signal. For some SD channels is blurring showed in the background. For example, at Knight-Rider on RTL Nitro.
This does not bother me, because I sit far enough away from the device and usually only HD + transmitter look.
It also has nothing to do with the quality of LC60LE652E. One should only remember that a 60 incher but a certain distance from the viewer needs if no HD signal is input. The switching times could be shorter, but are absolutely tolerable and not annoying.
Next discipline: 2D Blurays via normal HDMI cable. This required for the 3D mode 1.4a cable is still in the mail.
First Ratatouille. I Rémy and his friends never allowed to experience so faithfully.
Color, contrast and detail are of course the most impressive in an animated film. Not for nothing these same films will be in stores.
Avatar, Batman, Spider-Man and all other 1080p movies that were alluded to in the first test run, showed no less impressive.
I've been using the Acer H7531D DLP projector (Full HD, 1920 x 1080, 2000 ANSI lumens, contrast 50000: 1) already knows a good, relatively current Full HD playback device.
With the Sharp 60-inch model but it can not keep up. Not rudimentary, with the Acer projector itself is super, as my former review also showed.
The unit acts differently from the remote control, not cheap, is a new piece of jewelry is in our living room and also the impression of the workmanship is very good. When unpacking and installation of the foot no creaking and grinding of the housing could be heard. The device is surprisingly rigid.
Up to this point I am very satisfied. My expectations were exceeded.
Continuing on the subject of 3D and network / Internet follows next week.
Despite the remote little valued the rating can only be: 5 stars!
Continued:
3D:
The first task in the best discipline existed:
Tests were The Amazing Spider-Man (Blu-ray +) [Blu-ray 3D] with the LG DVD player from the Amazon package offer LG BP420 3D Blu-ray player (Smart TV, DLNA, HDMI , 1080p upscaler, LAN, USB) black and the originals glasses Sharp AN3DG20B Active Shutter 3D glasses.
Perhaps as a side note, that you need a high-speed HDMI cable to the Standard 1.4a.
I bought for little money this, which so far works perfectly:
AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI cable (Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return) 0.9 m.
So, prepare enough. Bluray inserted, connected TV to HDMI 2, press 3D button and set to "Automatic", the Bluray menu nor the 3D version and off we went.
The shutter glasses immediately recognized the IR signal of the TV and began to "shutters".
At first it is very unusual for someone who has never used such a spectacle.
I have the room, in the state of television, completely darkened, because I was irritated flutter. In addition, the cinema feeling is so pronounced.
However, you get used to very quickly on the glasses, so that a darkening of the room because of the shutter effect is probably not necessary.
As I said, it is a first test, and I will incorporate all new knowledge in this review.
The fear that the image would be the good impression I gained at first 2D tests, not confirmed in 3D mode was unfounded.
The 3D effect was exactly as I expected it, the picture as sharp, we at the aforementioned 2D films.
Another fear was that me or my guest would prepare the flapping headache was equally unfounded.
My friend brought a 3D Bluray movie in MKV format on the USB stick.
The good news in this regard is that the format the thereon films were shown on the 32-Gigaybyte stick, logically, in NTFS format, recognized by the TV and after a short reading time. Even the 3D movie in MKV format, the 3D standard "side-by-side" was reproduced smoothly right after the start.
More problematic, however, was, however, that the 3D image was not nearly as clear as before the "Amazing Spider-Man". Objects in the foreground were blurred and at all the picture 3D effect turned inhomogeneous represent. Yes, but we had about 20 minutes to cancel because it was too tiring.
This I put no television in the shoes, but the film.
2D movies from a USB stick, however, gave no cause for complaint.
Network:
The wireless dongle AN-WUD630 is indeed provided with an extension cord. For aesthetical reasons and due to the fact that the TV only about 3 feet from the wireless router is away, I have to stick connected directly. The furnishings in the TV goes very rapidly, but it was noticeable that the TV only displaying a signal strength of 60%.
Even when using the short cable some users may be forced to use a wireless repeater. Apparently a "specialty" of the Sharp TVs, the poor Wi-Fi reception.
I will continue my testing and so soon announce my other experiences, especially in terms of network and media server as possible.
If before or specific issues arise, I ask them to leave in the comments.
I'll do my best. ;-)
Continued:
The networking features I've just been testing and there are at most as the first abnormality to report that Flash content in the Web browser does not appear to work.
Videos via Youtube function were reproduced excellently and smoothly.
Why do I still append a small continuation, is an unusual event, the sound on when playing sources with DTS sound.
While it provides the TV, unlike its predecessor, play the sound homogeneous. In other words, language is not in the background noise and even you do not have to frantically grab FB in fight scenes, because an otherwise fall off the ears.
But the language is minimal asynchronous with DTS videos.
One point that does not bother me, as I have already connected the TV to a surround system, but a point that should be mentioned.
At first I thought it was on to a false codec in HTPC. But this effect occurred even at Blurays and films were stored on the USB stick. Both the BR player or plugged directly into the TV.
This point I have to verify, but as a precaution I want to point out.
Perhaps this is already noticed also another user.
In Sound via surround sound system or not all DTS formats, everything is fine.
Final Conclusion:
I would like to conclude the review by noting that I am absolutely happy with the purchasing decision.
The slight asynchrony in DTS sources has been confirmed, but it is so small that it is not even noticed some guests.
The remote looks cheap and is not very strong, and send confusing.
This also explains the criticisms exhausted. Because the most important masters of Sharp: he conjures a fantastic picture, even in 3D and does not fall to negative with Clouding, Banding & Co.
Despite the less good remote control to get into the menus to grips.
I could talk about the Internet functions, but that is beyond the scope of the review.
Nevertheless, I'll try, of course, answer all applicable questions in the comments.
Addendum:
Although for me the phenomenon with the sudden crash is noticed only twice.
But, along with the sub-optimal remote control, the partial asynchronicities which in the long run quite annoying long-time and the actually something bad nested menu I now subtract a star.
There are small annoyances that do not let me regret my purchase.
But no deduction would be misleading for buyers and inappropriate.
The since my purchase to 300 euros price decline moderates the small defects and something I'll stay with my buy recommendation.
4 stars
