Sharp Aquos LC60LE630X – Not-So Good 60-Incher
The all new Sharp Aquos LC60LE630X is a 60-in LCD TV offering from Sharp and we are pretty sure that it will meet the requirement of most of the rooms of your house. But the problem here is of the washed-out blacks and high-flying edge-lighting blotches, which stops us from recommending it to the buyers. If you love watching TV by turning off your TV, then it clearly is not the ideal TV for you.
Design:
There design of Sharp Aquos LC60LE630X is surprisingly bland in comparison to the designs of modern TVs that we’ve seen. But the good thing here is that neither there’s too much to talk about, nor is there anything seriously wrong with the design. The Aquos LC60LE630X is a generous looking LCD TV with a black frame and a mould that many of the other TVs in the market also have.
Among some of the highlights that we found about the build of Aquos LC60LE630X there was the on-screen font, which was pretty thin and sinewy, pretty much like what we’ve seen in the Modern vector. The fonts there look like of the times of Windows 3.1. But the good thing about this font is that it allows for a lot of information and options to be displayed here on screen, but at the same time it cheapens the overall feeling of Sharp and more importantly it could be problematic for the people who have sight problems.
Making it even worse for the Aquos LC60LE630X was the layout of the remote. We think that no attention was given to the ease of use while manufacturing the remote and even the look of the remote doesn’t makes it look like something bought from an electronic store.
Features:
The features are one of the brought huge disappointments to us, especially because there were no input ports, which in the modern times of entertainment portability is a must, though Sharp Aquos LC60LE630X does have space for that on the right edge. Positioned on the rear end of the screen there is three HDMI ports, 1 component input, 2 sets of complex inputs, a D-Sub jack, a USB port and a RS-232 port.
The MKV and DivX files from a USB drive played decent on the Aquos LC60LE630X. But the problem here is that if you stop that and want to play that after some time, the TV will not be able to resume form where you left. Neither will it let you skip across to a special point of the video that you intend to watch.
Performance:
The lusterless screen of the Sharp Aquos LC60LE630X might catch and disperse light, making some part of the screens duller than the others, we think that the screen here is still a lot better than the lustrous screens; at least we can say that in nicely lit conditions.
The problem here is that the colors displayed on the screens doesn’t have that punch and is difficult in rectifying, because the calibration here is tricky. Also even a small change in any particular setting results in a heavy change overall.
Despite many of the ups and downs, we’d say that the Sharp Aquos LC60LE630X is a pretty decent performing TV, at least in nicely lit conditions, but turning the lights off hampers the performance of the system significantly.
Conclusion:
The Sharp Aquos LC60LE630X 60-in LCD TV will fill the viewing space in most of rooms of your house, but the mediocre performance and dull screen in dark light aren’t something that you’d want in your LCD TV.
