Today we will look at the monitor LC-70X700 from Sharp from the year 2017. 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
Let's start with the size of the display. It is 69 inches ( 1.766 m on the diagonal) large and should thus offer enough space for all contents according to Sharp. Television screens and monitors usually have an aspect ratio of 16:9 (approximately 1.78:1). More rarely, computer monitors are also found with an aspect ratio of 16:10.
Ultrawidemonitors are often manufactured with an aspect ratio of 21:9 (approximately 2.34:1). They are mainly used for computer games and as an alternative to two side-by-side screens. The first devices of this type came onto the market around 2014. Against this backdrop, the monitor LC-70X700 from Sharp faces an aspect ratio of 1.778 : 1. Around 93.6 % of the front surface of the monitor consists of the display, while the rest is made up of screen edges that cannot display images. If you want to place several monitors next to each other, it is advisable to prefer those with narrow 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. The monitor's panel reaches a peak 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 50 hz up to 60 hz.
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 86 %.
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.
HDR
The monitor supports all HDR modes listed here:
- HDR 10
- HDR HLG
- Dolby Vision
screen design
The following dimensions must be planned for a free-standing stand without attached feet/stand: 91 cm x 1.564 m x 9.2 cm (HxWxD)
The size of the LC-70X700 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. As for the weight, Sharp states a total weight of 45 kg with stand. A wall mount should be designed for at least 42.5 kg to hold the LC-70X700 neatly and securely. 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
With the built-in 1 RJ45 Ethernet port(s) on the ' LC-70X700 ' 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 ( LC-70X700 ) 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
Wi-Fi Direct is supported by LC-70X700 , which is a standard for data transfer between two WLAN devices without a central wireless access point. This functionality makes it possible, for example, to send and display pictures and videos directly to the monitor without a Wi-Fi connection to the router. The LC-70X700 supports Bluetooth.
Power consumption
The maximum power consumption (peak) specified for this monitor is 470 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
The maximum permissible ambient temperature is 35 °C during operation. Below a temperature of 0 °C , the monitor from Sharp should again not be used.
