70" TVs, is the Sharp LC-70UI9362 using the same panel as the Sony kd70xf8305bu?
Hi All,As per the title really data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 I'm currently 70" 4k TV shopping to replace an aging 60" Sharp hd tv and I've decided 75 is too big, and 65 isn't enough of a size bump.
I've had a search around and can't find much information on the new (?) Sharp LC-70UI9362 (which I just missed at Costco for £899), but I have been looking at the Sony kd70xf8305bu which is using a 70" Sharp made VA panel.
I'm not sure if the Sharp TV is IPS or VA, I can't find the info anywhere, but assuming it's the same screen it's still £400 cheaper than the Sony.
I don't care much for anything other than the best picture quality for my pound, as I have a full surround setup and an NVidia Shield 4K for streaming.
If I could find a decent OLED for sub £1500 I would put my money that way, does anyone know if CES will bring price drops?
Thanks in advance. Up until recently Sharp-branded TVs weren't made by Sharp, it was a brand licensed to a European company called UMC. Sharp/Foxconn did buy UMC last year though, so a recently released model is more likely to be using a Sharp panel. Oled - you’ll only get 65” ones, and likely to be around £1800 for an LG B8. It might share the basic panel but the UI9 series is supposedly an edge-lit series vs the direct-lit XF83 so the backlighting will be quite different.
Active Motion 800 might not even mean it is necessarily a 100Hz model (though the models seem to be split between either an 800 or 400 rating). Ah I thought they were both edge light? I know the XF83 doesn't have local dimming though, need to move up to the samsung 70 NU8000 but that's getting out of budget data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
