I am opening new thread for BK1X series

for comparison between BK1X and UA6800X for 60 inch as below:

My question are:

a) What is different between wide and real colour?

b) What is the mean of 4K HD Support| HDR 10|HLG? so it is mean previous model had upscaled 4K?

c) Why they removed Eilex Prism?

d) Why new model connectivitiy USB got only version 2.0 ? previous model got 3.0 for 1

a)... good question..., no idea!

b) HLG or Hybrid Log Gamma is meant for online broadcast streams... possible some markets are going that direction.

c) eilex is an tv audio feature... not sure if it makes that much diff w/o it.

d) yep, this is going backwards, no good. and 3 hdmi is not goof enuf for some people.
perhaps these 2 are done to reduce cost to price the tv very competitively.


can also put AL1X for comparison... but we but AL1X is very similar to UA6800X, diff is really the positions of the hdmi ports.

AL1X

yeah that why did not put AL1X

u should better compare with AL1X.
when reading the official pdf u will see sharp define wide color as UHD 4k blue ray support etc
for usb and prism? i tink is jz to cut cost lo..

The information display on the internet might not be correct.... you got to call them and check once it is for sales....I call sharp to check whether 4TC70AL1X is really direct LED or not.......they say is not and mention the inforation on the internet is wrong.....

Just found this thread today. Been using my BK1X 60" for the last 2 weeks.

So far loving it. Been using it to watch Astro, Kodi for local videos from my NAS and other online streaming videos.

I would say this TV video upscaling from lower resolution is awesome. Tested as low as 480p video source and it works great.

It also have Bluetooth out with is great to use with my over the ear headset.

Android TV is 9.0 and the response is very fluid. No lag at all.

that is new, excellent.

does it do BT in too?

BT in of course it does.

All smart tv that does BT will do BT in but not necessarily does BT out.

can pm me how much and where u get it? thinking to get this model? is this wide color gamut model?

Bought it at RM3299 with 5 years Sharp warranty from ESH. So far they are they one I know have this model only during my survey 2-3 weeks ago.

Color is wide based on the specs but I'm not sure how to tell or what's the differences. So far I like the colours.

I only can find this model at Harvey Norman website which is online. Can't find anywhere else. Btw. Al1x I thk price drop to clear stock now.

Mind to side load a CPU-Z or AIDA64 to check what's the SOC used in this model?

Wonder does it upgrade the HW compare to AL1X series.

Thailand Review

The last round I checked, no one has this BK1X model except the ESH store I bought from in Kepong. When I bought them, they told me this model was just released a month ago, that was 3 weeks ago.

Will try when I have the time to side load CPU-Z.

AIDA64 should be available in the Google Play Store of the Sharp TV.

Yup, i read my AL1X TV using AIDA64 from playstore.

The SOC on this BK1X is ARM-Cortex-A55 @ 1.44GHz.

70"....Edge LED
60"....Edge LED
50"....Direct LED

Just bought 4tc60bk1x from tbm dpulze for rm3299+rm100 for extended 5year warranty.

I heard from the sa that sharp is currently got stock issue for this model as i went to ESH no stock for all outlet.
