Sharp Quattron Pro LC60UQ10
Sharp’s new Quattron Pro LED TV range has touched down around Europe, and they’re easy to get excited about. For starters, while each model is a full HD 1080p TV, each one is actually capable of playing Ultra HD 4K content, and it still looks practically pixel perfect too. That’s all thanks to its subpixel tech, which offers 2.5 times the number of pixels of full HD, making your picture look pin-sharp, and it can natively play 4K content straight throughHDMI. That means you get 4K powers, without the 4K price tag too: you can grab theLC60UQ10, the 60-inch flavour of Sharp’s Quattron Pro, for around £1,799, which hits thesweet spot between the 50 and 70-inch version on offer. There’s no doubt that this year’s World Cup will look superb on one of these sets, and once you’re done watching the big game, the LC60UQ10 also offers smart TV skills for catch-up TV, on-demand movies and games, and there’s even Miracast tech built in to mirror your smartphone or tablet.
