Today we will look at the monitor LV-70X500E from Sharp from the year 2018. Within this article, we will first take a closer look at the most important feature of a monitor -the display-, then the design, and in the next section we will go into the features of the monitor. Of course, power consumption, certifications, connectivity and other important details will also be considered.
Display
According to the manufacturer, the display measures 69 inches ( 1.766 m on the diagonal). While classic CRT monitors were built with a screen ratio of 4:3, this monitor has a ratio of 1.778 : 1 (width to height). In addition to the aspect ratios and the specified screen diagonal, the ratio between the monitor surface and the actual display could also be relevant for some enthusiasts. This ratio represents the general relationship between non-display and display. In other words: Approximately 93.6 % of the front surface of the monitor consists of the display, while the remaining percent consists of screen edges and is not suitable for image reproduction. If you want to place several monitors next to each other, you should make sure you choose models with the narrowest possible edges. The display is a VA panel. The panel has a resolution of 7680 x 4320 px. The pixel density is 126 ppi. The pixel pitch is 0.2 mm. The continuous possible brightness specified by the manufacturer Sharp is 400 nt. Above all, bright environments are a challenge for monitors. The brightness of the monitor is crucial for an accurate and color-true reproduction of the image to outshine the ambient light. The panel of the LV-70X500E shines with a brightness of 1000 nt. 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. 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. According to the manufacturer, the coverage of the DCI-P3 color space is 90 %. The REC 2020 color space is covered to 80 %.
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. In contrast to the static contrast ratio, the dynamic contrast ratio changes the brightness of the panel itself in addition to the difference measurement from black to white. In addition to the difference between the brightest and the darkest pixel, the backlight is thus changed. Since the brightness of the panel may not be able to be adjusted exactly to a single pixel, a so-called halo effect is possible. The value of 10000000 : 1 of dynamic contrast ratio for the monitor LV-70X500E cannot provide any information about the severity of the halo effect here. Therefore, it is more useful to compare the static contrast ratio.
HDR
The monitor supports all HDR modes listed here:
- HDR 10
- HDR HLG
- Dolby Vision
screen design
Without the stand, the monitor comes with a width of 1.564 m , a height of 91 cm and about 9.2 cm.
The size of the LV-70X500E on the desk is likely to be particularly relevant for most users. Sharp specifies a space requirement of 96.7 x 1.564 x 37.5 m (HxWxD) with the included stand. The device weighs in total (i.e. also measured with the stand) 45 kg. The monitor LV-70X500E without the stand weighs 42.5 kg. This weight reduction should be taken into account for wall or arm mounting, since monitor arms have a maximum load capacity. 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.
Ports
The monitor can be connected via 1 VGA ports. With the built-in 1 RJ45 Ethernet port(s) on the ' LV-70X500E ' monitor, users can establish a wired network connection. This feature provides a stable connectivity option for those who need a reliable network connection, whether for professional tasks or mission-critical applications.
camera
This monitor does not have a camera.
Loudspeaker
The monitor has an integrated subwoofer. In total, the subwoofer consists of 1 driver(s). Each of the built-in drivers has a capacity of 15 w.
Features
WiFi / Bluetooth
This model ( LV-70X500E ) supports Wi-Fi. This wireless network connection allows devices to display content from a smartphone or tablet, for example, or to download apps from an app store, similar to TVs. However, monitors usually do not have this functionality because they are only operated in connection with a notebook or PC. The protocols are supported: WiFi 802.11a WiFi 802.11ac WiFi 802.11b WiFi 802.11g WiFi 802.11n
For a monitor, "WiFi Direct" refers to a feature that allows you to establish a direct connection between the monitor and another WLAN-enabled device without the need for a wireless network. This allows you, for example, to display content from your smartphone or tablet on the monitor without having to be near a WLAN network. The monitor LV-70X500E supports this function as a matter of course. The LV-70X500E supports Bluetooth.
Power consumption
The average consumption was given by Sharp as 260 w. The maximum power consumption (peak) specified for this monitor is 445 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 power grid has to supply a frequency of 50 hz to 60 hz.
Environment
During operation, the ambient temperature must not exceed 35 °C , to ensure full functionality. Below a temperature of 0 °C , the monitor from Sharp should again not be used.
