Smooth delivery

A hockey puck is not a quantum particle. When you're watching your favorite player make a pass, you should be able to follow the puck along its entire trajectory as it cruises across the ice. The puck should not leave the passer's possession, disappear, and then reappear in the receiver's vicinity. Similarly, when you're watching a football game or your favorite action movie, the running back shouldn't look shaky as he weaves through defensemen, and the getaway car shouldn't seem jittery as it zips down a highway. Reproducing video with natural smoothness, Sharp's LC-65E77UM features 120Hz Fine Motion video processing. By increasing the frame rate four-fold, and even five-fold, 120Hz processing is able to achieve lifelike, judder-free motion, especially during fast-action sports or movie sequences.

LCD worthy of the AQUOS name

Because the LC-65E77UM is a Sharp AQUOS panel, it delivers more than just a high definition resolution — the LC-65E77UM fuels its full HD 1080p, 16:9 widescreen panel with a diverse repertoire of design features. First, an 10-bit ASV LCD panel combines with high contrast levels to deliver deep blacks and vivid colors for a natural, impacting picture. Second, a super-fast 4ms pixel-response time delivers accurate video reproduction, while a high 450 cd/m² brightness level lets you enjoy a clear, crisp picture even when there are higher levels of ambient light. Finally, a wide 176° x 176° viewing angle makes sure that everyone has a clear view of the main feature, regardless of where they're sitting. Oh, and with its 60,000-hour-to-half-brightness panel life, you'll be enjoying stunning AQUOS video performance for over 32 years at five hours of viewing per day.
