At the beginning of the 2000s, in the TV sector, the word Aquos was a synonym for advanced quality. Once the technology changed, Sharp was somewhat lost, but after a few ownership changes, as happened with many tech companies, there is now a grand return to the market. Looking for a band of users who do not want to spend exaggerated sums but expect to have the best viewing and listening functions.
Here then the Aquos technology returns to be seen in the 55FQ5EG model that we tested. It is a 55-inch 4K TV, which offers a 4K Ultra HD 144 Hz Quantum Dot resolution (3840 x 2160 screen pixels), which guarantees sharp and detailed images. Thanks to LED technology, the panel ensures good brightness and high contrast, contributing to the overall clarity of the image. And the presence of HDR technology and Dolby Vision IQ further improves the visual experience, adapting image reproduction to lighting conditions and offering a wider range of colors.
The modern and minimalist design of the 55FQ5EG features thin bezels that highlight the image. The central pedestal ensures stability on various surfaces, while the solid construction reflects Sharp's attention to build quality. Ambient Mode turns your TV into a digital photo frame when not in use, enhancing the aesthetics of your surroundings.
Equipped with Google TV, the television offers an elegant and highly customizable user interface. Thanks to artificial intelligence, it suggests content based on user preferences, while integration with Google Assistant allows voice searches via the remote control. The presence of the built-in Chromecast functionality also facilitates the sharing of content from mobile devices directly on the TV screen.
Regarding connectivity, Wi-Fi and Ethernet allow easy access to online content. While the numerous ports, including HDMI and USB inputs, offer flexibility for connecting external devices. As for audio, the Hybrid Harman/Kardon sound system ensures full-bodied and immersive sound, enriched by Advanced DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Atmos technologies for an immersive home cinema experience.
