Our verdict

Sharp GP7 is a TV that certainly has its strong points, but it also has a few drawbacks. Is it perfect? No, but at its price, it does a really decent job and will serve well as quite a nice choice in many homes. The biggest plus? The Google TV system. Here Sharp GP7 shows its class – we have an enormous selection of apps, probably the largest on the market. It doesn't matter if we want to watch Netflix, YouTube, or something less known – we’ll find everything in one place. Plus, the interface is simple and intuitive, and if we don’t feel like clicking, we can just say what we’re looking for to the remote, as it supports voice commands in Polish. Google TV is definitely something that elevates the value of this TV, as we don't feel like we're missing anything. It just works. When it comes to picture quality, it's also quite good. A brightness level of 500 nits combined with Dolby Vision does the job – movies look really solid for this price range. Colours, thanks to the PFS (QLED) coating, are vivid, and the contrast from the VA panel makes dark scenes have depth, and the whole picture just "comes alive". It’s not at a premium level, but for this price, you can’t really complain too much. It’s a good picture that will satisfy most users. Of course, there are also weaker sides. The TV struggles with dynamic scenes – sports or video games won't look perfect here. The 60 Hz panel and its response time cannot provide the highest fluidity. Additionally, the manufacturer mentions HDMI 2.1, but all we find here is the ALLM function. There's a lack of VRR, G-Sync, or other additions that could attract gamers.

To sum up – Sharp GP7 is a solid TV for everyday viewing of movies and series. It’s not for gamers or fans of sports broadcasts, but for universal use – absolutely. If we value access to a rich ecosystem of apps and good picture quality at a reasonable price, this model might be just right for us.

The mid-range television segment is expanding rapidly, and TCL C75B demonstrates that it’s possible to get really solid equipment in this price category. This model is clearly designed with gamers in mind – the HDMI 2.1 port offers a lot of potential, providing VRR, ALLM, and impressive 144 Hz refresh rate in 4K (or 240 Hz in Full HD), which will certainly please both gaming and sports fans. The TV’s operation is pleasant and intuitive, mainly thanks to the Google TV system. While there may be minor stutters, the wealth of available apps and features more than compensates for this – practically everything we need is at our fingertips or even at the sound of our voice if we wish to talk to the remote in Polish. As for picture quality, TCL C75B also performs well. Thanks to the VA panel, it boasts quite good contrast, and the presence of Dolby Vision allows for enjoyable HDR effects, even if the brightness isn’t mind-blowing. Of course, it isn't without its flaws – despite the fast panel, there is some motion blur, and the lack of traditional features (like USB recording) may disappoint some users. Nevertheless, in its price category, the C75B is a very attractive option, especially for those looking for a screen designed for high-level gaming.

Halo effect and black detail visibility:

Sharp GP7 uses a VA panel, which allows it to boast quite a decent contrast. In our measurements, we achieved around 5000:1, which is a solid result for this price range. For example, when watching bright, contrasting scenes in Oblivion, we did not have the impression that the lights were merging into a single blot. Clear boundaries between the different light sources are still visible. On the other hand, the lack of local dimming means that in dark areas of the image, blacks often take on blue tones. This is a phenomenon that did not surprise us, as it is difficult to expect absolute perfection in this area at this price point. However, it is worth keeping in mind if we expect the TV to deliver inky blacks rather than what we might experience during the test scene from Sicario 2.

The TV we tested, TCL C75B in size X," is equipped with a VA panel, which naturally provides quite decent contrast results – and that’s what we observed during our tests. On each test pattern, the TV achieved a contrast level of around 5500:1. This is a result that can be considered very good in this price category. The black in this model performs really well, though of course, it’s far from perfect.

Due to the C75B belonging to the mid-range segment, we won’t find local dimming technology here. This is particularly noticeable in more demanding scenes, such as those from the film Sicario 2, where we noticed that the black takes on a navy hue instead of a pitch-black. This limitation of panels without local dimming can be particularly evident in evening viewings with the lights off, when dark elements of the image are more pronounced. It's worth keeping this in mind when choosing a TV in this category, especially if we care about the best quality of black while watching movies at night.

In terms of HDR, Sharp GP7 can surprise us pleasantly. The maximum brightness of around 500 nits is the threshold at which the real advantages of high dynamic range begin to be visible. During our tests, we achieved stable values between 430 and 500 nits, which translated to a clearer distinction of elements in both bright and slightly darker scenes. Additionally, it has a DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage of about 95%, allowing for vibrant, visually pleasing colours. Of course, it isn't top-tier, but for this price range – a big plus.

During our brightness test, the TCL C75B "spat out" around 380 nits of brightness. We recorded similar results while watching most of the films we tested. These can be considered average – the TV performs decently in this segment, but around 400 nits is definitely too low to fully experience the magic of HDR effects. Of course, such results are better than those of budget models, which can achieve nearly half the brightness values. However, for HDR enthusiasts seeking stronger lighting effects and greater realism, the C75B may prove insufficient. On the plus side, it's worth mentioning the coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut at 95%. This is a very good result that easily suffices to enjoy a wide range of colours in content available on popular streaming platforms. Vivid and rich colours are definitely a strong point of this model.

After calibration

Out of the box, in movie mode, GP7 doesn't fare badly at all. In HD materials, we noticed slight disturbances in white balance - drops in red and blue that made the image take on a somewhat greenish hue. This is noticeable, for instance, on the faces of characters, which become less lifelike. The gamma is slightly brighter in places, resulting in less deep blacks. In 4K HDR content, a cooler, bluish tone also emerges, making the colours appear less natural. On the other hand, looking at it from a "straight out of the box" perspective, these settings aren't bad - a few minor adjustments will suffice, and with the help of special tools, we will try to improve them.

TCL C75B offers various picture modes, but in our opinion, the best choice is the “Film” mode. Although its settings are quite decent, the TV struggles with certain colour reproduction issues. In tests, we noticed that the image had a noticeably pinkish hue compared to what could be considered correct. This effect was particularly evident in skin tones, which appeared unnaturally flushed. The main culprit of this phenomenon turned out to be the white balance, characterised by an excess of blue and red in both HD and 4K HDR materials.

An additional problem was the way brightness was reproduced. The gamma, which is responsible for the visibility of details in darker materials, was definitely boosted, causing details in the darkest parts of the screen to be invisible, disappearing into complete black (e.g., the bottom part of the screen in the comparison image - the area around the actress's ear). The situation was similar on the EOTF curve, which was below the correct value, suggesting that a similar issue may be encountered in 4K HDR content.

Thanks to our experience and the appropriate tools, we decided to take matters into our own hands and check how much could be extracted from this model after professional calibration. The details are described in the next section.

Color reproduction after calibration

7.5/10

8.2/10

Calibration really makes a difference in Sharp GP7. After making adjustments, we achieved a better white balance in HD content, and the colours started to look much more natural, with minimal deviations and no clear dominance of individual hues. In 4K HDR, the change isn't as spectacular, but it's still noticeable. The gamma has been brought to a more neutral level, although a slight boost in the brightest details on the screen is still evident. The inability to control dynamic tone mapping limits our manoeuvrability, but nonetheless, this is a significant step forward compared to the factory settings.

After calibration, TCL C75B has clearly improved when it comes to colour reproduction. Although the TV doesn't offer too many options for adjusting the white balance, we managed to improve its settings quite a bit. As a result, the image is no longer overly pink, and the colours now look much more natural and harmonious.

The gamma jump that was previously an issue hasn't completely disappeared, but we were able to significantly reduce it. This has made details in dark scenes more visible – both in HD and 4K HDR content.

Unfortunately, the lack of local dimming is still noticeable. The 'blooming black' effect remains, but that's a limitation of the display itself. Still, the colours post-calibration look significantly better, and the image is much more pleasant to watch.

Smoothness of tonal transitions

9/10

8.2/10

The fluidity of tonal transitions is a strong point of GP7 Sharp. Colour shades flow smoothly, without distinct lines or blotches. Whether we were watching dynamic action scenes or calm, picturesque landscape shots, we did not encounter significant issues with so-called banding. Any potential shortcomings are subtle enough that most of us wouldn't even notice them. The only flaw is the average uniformity of backlighting, which can at times disrupt the perfect effect.

When it comes to tonal transition fluidity, TCL C75B performs really well. It particularly excels in gradation of the darkest colours – here the television does not disappoint and presents a high-quality image.

Some imperfections can be noticed in the brightest areas of the screen, such as in a scene from the film Kingsman (sun in a blue sky). Nevertheless, the final effect should satisfy the vast majority of users.

The TV can scale lower quality content quite well. Our test patterns were well reproduced, and although there was minimal banding with fine, delicate shapes (such as thin branches), it still looked satisfactory. Additionally, Sharp GP7 offers a “10-bit colour reproduction” feature to smooth tonal transitions in poor quality materials. It is useful, but at the cost of some details, so we recommend turning it on only when we're really watching something of poor quality.

TCL C75B has a feature for smoothing tonal transitions, but unfortunately, we cannot praise it. Regardless of the selected level – low or high – tonal transitions in older materials remained visible, as if the feature wasn’t working at all. It’s hard to say anything positive about it, as in practice it seems completely useless.

Image scaling is better. The TV handles it quite decently, although on thinner elements, like branches in the background, you can see slight jaggedness. However, this is not something that significantly hinders everyday viewing.

Unfortunately, a bigger problem turned out to be overscan, or cropping of the image edges. In our tests, it happened that news ticker or other elements close to the edge of the screen were cut off. This is definitely something to pay attention to, especially if we use the TV for watching news programs or content with text on the screen.

Blur (native resolution, maximum refresh rate):

With a 60 Hz panel and average response time, it's hard to expect miraculous smoothness. In dynamic tests, like the one with the “little green man”, it’s clear that the picture can blur and occasionally lose sharpness. For watching movies and series, this is acceptable, especially since you can use the motion smoother with three levels of adjustment. However, if we care about ultra-smooth sports broadcasts or super-responsive gameplay, we might feel a bit dissatisfied.

TCL C75B definitely has something to offer gamers. The television is equipped with a panel that can display images with a refresh rate of 144 Hz in 4K, and even 240 Hz in Full HD. These are really impressive results, especially for a model from the budget range.

On top of that, there are features for improving smoothness and reducing motion blur in films. The "Motion" option allows for precise adjustment of the effect on a 10-point scale, providing significant personalisation possibilities – everyone can set the smoothness to their liking.

Let's not kid ourselves – GP7 Sharp is not a television for the most demanding console gamers. Yes, we have ALLM, which automatically switches the TV to low latency mode, but it lacks VRR or G-Sync. We also won't find any advanced menu to help adjust settings during gameplay. Dolby Vision in games? It's there, but with such a large input lag that it's hard to talk about comfort. If we play occasionally and don't aim for the highest standards, it can be managed, but tech enthusiasts will face disappointment.

TCL C75B is undoubtedly a television designed with gamers in mind. It has almost everything needed for even the most demanding console users. With the implementation of full bandwidth HDMI 2.1, the TV supports features like ALLM (automatic low latency mode) and VRR (variable refresh rate) – operating within the full capabilities of the TV, up to 240 Hz in Full HD resolution.

Additionally, the television supports advanced HDR technologies, including Dolby Vision and HGiG, which allows for even better detailing in HDR-optimised games. C75B is also equipped with a very convenient interface for gamers in the form of Game Bar, where you can check all key parameters such as refresh rate, input lag, or picture settings – all just a click away.

In one sentence: C75B is a great choice for gamers, offering a wide range of features that fully enable enjoyment of the capabilities of modern consoles and games.

When it comes to input lag, we have mixed feelings. In 4K, we achieve around 13 ms, which is a great result and is more than sufficient for most of us. Unfortunately, Dolby Vision raises it to a level that makes gaming practically impossible, and in Full HD, around 37 ms is already a noticeable value for those of us who prioritise quick reactions. It's best to utilise 4K if we're aiming for the highest responsiveness.

The input lag on the TCL C75B is something that truly impresses. With a refresh rate of 144 Hz, the lag is just 9 ms, making the TV's response to our actions on the controller or keyboard practically instantaneous. For 60 Hz, the result is 19 ms – it's not a record low value, but it still falls within a range where the lag is practically unnoticeable during gaming. One could say that the difference is hardly felt, which makes this TV a good choice even for more demanding gamers.

As a monitor for office work or browsing the internet, Sharp GP7 performs quite well. The Chroma 4:4:4 provides text clarity, although with very small fonts on a dark background, we noticed some minor issues. It's hard to recommend it for PC gaming due to the lack of advanced features and higher refresh rates, but for simple office work or watching movies in the evening – why not?

TCL C75B is quite a good choice for connecting to a computer. With high refresh rates, low input lag, and G-Sync support, the television performs exceptionally well in games – both fast-paced and more demanding ones. The image is smooth, and the response to our actions is quick, which gamers will undoubtedly appreciate.

For office work, the television also holds up well. Text is readable, although on a dark background some imperfections can be noticed – some fonts appear as if they are missing pieces of vertical lines. This may be distracting if we work a lot with documents or text editing. However, if the computer is mainly used for gaming or watching movies, TCL C75B will easily serve its purpose as a monitor. It’s a versatile device that can handle most applications.

Viewing angles

In terms of viewing angles, we have the typical limitations of VA panels. If we sit centrally in front of the screen, everything looks good, but if you lean back too far, the colours and contrast begin to fade. This is nothing unusual for this type of panel, so it's worth being aware that when watching with a larger group, the extreme spots on the couch will have a worse view.

The viewing angles on the TCL C75B are, unfortunately, very poor. This is a typical compromise with VA panels – better blacks at the expense of off-angle visibility. The picture quickly loses quality when viewed from the side, which is the complete opposite of what IPS panel televisions offer. If we plan to watch the TV mainly head-on, this won't be a big problem. However, with a larger number of viewers sitting at different angles, the picture quality may disappoint.

The satin matrix doesn’t eliminate reflections as effectively as we would like, so in a bright, highly sunlit room, we might see some glare. Fortunately, the television has quite decent brightness (around 430 cd/m²), which allows us to use it without covering the windows, as long as the sun isn't shining directly on the screen. In extremely sunlit interiors, it may be trickier, but in standard conditions, it’s still usable.

TCL C75B performs okay during the day. The satin display somewhat limits reflections, but it's not an ideal solution. Brightness is also an issue – 350 cd/m² is simply not enough for comfortable viewing in a brightly sunlit room.

In less extreme conditions, for example, in a moderately lit room, the TV does alright. However, if the sun starts streaming directly onto the screen in summer, watching can become tiring. It's worth keeping this in mind when choosing this model.

Sharp GP7 operates on the Google TV system, which provides access to a rich library of applications and streaming services. Its main advantage is the clear interface that integrates content from various sources in one place, making it easy to search and manage. Voice control in Polish works perfectly, and with the remote that has a built-in microphone, we can quickly find the content we're interested in, such as movies, series, or music. Regular system updates ensure that Google TV stays current, adapting to new user needs and introducing additional features. It's a convenient and modern solution that makes using the TV intuitive and enjoyable.


Although Google TV is a strong point of the GP7, the other features of the television are not as impressive. It lacks the ability to record programs or picture-in-picture (PiP) mode, and Apple users may feel the absence of support for AirPlay. However, there is Miracast for Windows and Bluetooth, allowing the connection of headphones or a keyboard. This is a sufficient foundation for less demanding users, although those expecting more advanced features may feel unsatisfied. The Sharp GP7 mainly focuses on the smart capabilities offered by Google TV, leaving traditional solutions in the background.

TCL C75B is a television that primarily relies on the Google TV system. The platform offers access to most popular apps, such as Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video, making it great for watching content from the internet. However, it's worth mentioning that the system can sometimes stutter slightly, which may be noticeable during everyday use.

In terms of smart features, the C75B performs well. Voice control with the help of the built-in assistant works smoothly, and thanks to AirPlay and Miracast, we can easily transfer content from our phone or laptop. Bluetooth allows for effortless connection of headphones, controllers, or other devices.

However, anyone expecting classic television features may be disappointed. There is no option to record programmes on a USB drive or a picture-in-picture (PiP) feature. TCL has been skipping such features for some time, which may not appeal to users who mainly rely on traditional television.

The media player performs quite well, supporting most popular formats. The only minor downside is the inability to change the font colour in subtitles, although for some of us, that’s a detail. We can always install another player from the Google Play store and customise it to our own preferences.

The built-in media player in TCL C75B works really well. It handles most popular image and audio formats with ease. Although there are some shortcomings in the support of certain formats, thanks to Google TV, you can easily install an alternative player that will solve this issue.

Despite collaborating with Harman Kardon, the speakers perform rather average. The sound is decent, but there's nothing in it that really surprises us. It doesn’t support DTS:X, however, Dolby Atmos is onboard, which, when combined with good material, can slightly enhance the experience. If we care about better audio quality, we will likely consider purchasing an external soundbar or audio system anyway.

The sound on the TCL C75B is really pleasant, especially at lower volume levels. The bass is noticeable and complements the sound well, but only up to about 40% volume. At higher settings, problems start to arise – the bass causes unpleasant vibrations, and the speakers begin to crackle. If we plan to use higher volume levels more frequently, it’s worth considering purchasing a soundbar, as the built-in speakers may not meet more demanding situations.
