Within this article we will take a closer look at the technical specifications of the 8M-B80AX1E monitor from Sharp. For this we will talk about all possible categories that could be relevant. To start with, we will look at the display, talk about the design and in the next section we will go into the features of the monitor. Other features such as power consumption, connectors and certifications will follow later in the text.
Display
Videos and/or other applications can be displayed on the monitor's 80 inches ( 2.03 m on the diagonal). As already mentioned or known, monitors have a certain number of pixels in height and width. In most cases, this is not a 1:1 ratio, which is also the case with the monitor from Sharp. This monitor has an aspect ratio of 1.778 : 1. This means that every 1.778 pixels in width 1 pixels in height are added. Approximately 92.4 % of the front of the monitor is taken up by the display, while the remaining area consists of screen edges that cannot display any image information. If you want to set up several monitors next to each other, it is advisable to choose monitors with narrow edges. The display is a VA panel. The panel has a resolution of 7680 x 4320 px. The pixel density is 110 ppi. The pixel pitch is 0.231 mm. The continuous possible brightness specified by the manufacturer Sharp is 800 nt. The maximum brightness of the monitor is 4000 nt on the panel. The panel is illuminated by Direct LED. The built-in panel ensures stable color reproduction of the image, even at deviating viewing angles, by means of its 176 ° (horizontal) viewing angle. Sharp promises stable color reproduction moreover within a 176 ° vertical angle. The refresh rate is horizontally seen at the 8M-B80AX1E 31.5 khz to 135 khz. Vertically, however, the image renews at a minimum rate of 60 hz up to 60 hz. The minimum response time of the monitor is ms.
Color space
The panel has a bit depth of 10 per color channel, but what does that mean? The number of bits determines how many colors can be encoded for the individual pixels of the display. For an 8-bit panel, for example, this is 256 different colors (2^8 = 256). However, since we usually display three different colors per pixel at the same time, in theory about 16 million (256^3) different colors are possible by mixing the three pixels. A 10-bit panel could even display a billion colors. The REC 2020 color space is covered to 82 %.
Contrast ratio
Contrast ratio is a common measurement used to represent the maximum relative differences in brightness between black and white. It describes the ability of a screen or projector to produce a high-contrast image and is the quotient of the maximum and minimum displayable luminance. The higher the values are away from each other, the stronger the quantitatively seen difference between black and white is set up, which in turn results in an improved image quality. This monitor from Sharp has a static contrast ratio of 3000 : 1 , according to the manufacturer. The monitor from Sharp supports adaptive contrast management, dynamically adjusting the contrast ratio of the input signal to ensure razor-sharp image displays. Each scene is continuously analyzed by 8M-B80AX1E and the images are adjusted accordingly frame by frame. This analysis and dynamic adjustment of contrast is designed to enhance color quality and provide better black levels when displaying dark scenes and shaded/dark image sequences.
HDR
The monitor supports all HDR modes listed here:
- HDR 10
- HDR HLG
screen design
For the installation of the monitor, a space requirement of approximately 1.055 m in height, 1.81 m in width and 11.5 cm in depth is to be assumed.
The size of the monitor (stand included) is 1.1320000000000001 x 1.81 x 44 m (HxWxD). As for the weight, Sharp states a total weight of 60.5 kg with stand. According to Sharp , you can expect a weight of about 52 kg without the stand. Speaking of weight without a stand and thus wall or table mounts. The monitor supports a Vesa mounting.
Rotate, tilt and swivel
The monitor from Sharp cannot be rotated. The monitor cannot be swiveled. This feature could be retrofitted with a third-party stand. A tilt function was not provided by Sharp with the included stand.
Ports
The monitor can be connected via 1 VGA ports. The monitor named ' 8M-B80AX1E ' has 1 RJ45 Ethernet port(s), which enables a wired network connection. This port offers users the possibility to connect the device directly to a wired network, which can be beneficial in environments with a reliable and fast internet connection.
camera
This monitor does not have a camera.
Loudspeaker
The monitor from Sharp has integrated speakers, for playing sounds, music or speech. The sound is emitted via 2 speakers, which are integrated into the device. Each of the built-in speakers has a contingent of 10 w power. The monitor has an integrated subwoofer. In total, the subwoofer consists of 2 driver(s). Each of the built-in drivers has a capacity of 15 w.
Features
WiFi / Bluetooth
Power consumption
The maximum power consumption (peak) specified for this monitor is 725 w. In standby mode, the device consumes approximately 0.5 w. When switched off, on the other hand, the monitor consumes only 0.5 w. The monitor can be operated on a 110v power supply. The monitor can be operated on a 220v power supply. The power grid has to supply a frequency of 50 hz to 60 hz.
Environment
The monitor has a built-in ambient light sensor, which can be used, for example, to dynamically adjust the brightness of the monitor to the ambient conditions. The maximum permissible ambient temperature is 40 °C during operation. Below a temperature of 0 °C , the monitor from Sharp should again not be used. The humidity must not exceed 80 percent. At least, however, 20 percent humidity.
