Sharp JP7765E (to make it easier, we will refer to it as JP7) is one of those releases that’s hard to overlook. Why? Because the brand with Japanese heritage is trying to combine fire and water here: advanced Mini-LED backlighting technology with a price that usually associates with ordinary, supermarket LCD panels. On paper, the JP7 looks like a "golden hit". We receive dense backlighting, promising contrast significantly better than the competition in this class, and a Google TV system that provides access to the widest library of applications and VOD services on the market. Since this model is positioned as budget equipment, we must ask ourselves a brutal question: where did the manufacturer have to cut corners?

SHARP JP7765E - Our verdict

6.1

Overall rating

Sharp JP7765 is yet another offering in the market that tries to prove that Mini-LED technology doesn't have to cost a fortune. The low price is matched by an exceptionally high brightness – a peak of 1000 nits in HDR is a result that is simply impressive in this price range. Although the proprietary processor doesn't always handle backlighting management in demanding scenes perfectly, support for Dolby Vision effectively saves the day. With dynamic metadata, the picture becomes vivid, deep, and simply attractive to the eye. Adding to this the Google TV system, extreme volume, and a rarely found headphone jack, we have a device that is a brilliant option for seniors or less demanding viewers switching from a regular, cheap LCD. In such a scenario, the Sharp JP7 presents itself as a really good and cost-effective choice. However, it's necessary to state the matter clearly: contrary to marketing slogans, this isn't gear for everyone. Gamers or sports fans will definitely not find this suitable. The biggest drawback of the JP7765 model is the slow, 60Hz panel and significant motion blur, which essentially disqualifies this TV for watching fast-paced matches or playing quick titles. The image loses sharpness during rapid movements to such an extent that for a football or racing fan, this could be an unacceptable barrier.

So who is the Sharp JP7765 for? It's a sensible option for budget-conscious individuals who don't have high demands for motion fluidity but value a "kick" of brightness. By choosing the Sharp JP7, you'll definitely make a better deal than buying basic (non-dimming) TVs from competitors. At a similar price, rivals usually offer standard LCD panels that can't compete with the capabilities of even such a basic Mini-LED model as the JP7. Ultimately, it comes down to a simple equation: you accept poorer motion fluidity in exchange for immense brightness, which is hard to find with other manufacturers at this price.

The first encounter with the ChooseTV JP7 may not leave you in awe, but it certainly doesn’t disappoint either. Sharp has opted for a tried-and-tested design, which simply aims not to be a distraction in your living room. We have slim bezels around the screen and silver accents at the bottom of the casing to add a touch of elegance. However, the real surprise awaits when mounting the base. Instead of tossing in two plastic “chicken feet,” Sharp has chosen a central stand made from one thin piece of metal. It’s fair to say that it makes a great impression and is definitely more appealing than the plastic solutions from competing brands in the same price range. The TV on this stand looks solid and modern, which is not so obvious in the budget segment.

Unfortunately, the enchantment wears off when you take a glance at the ChooseTV JP7 from the side or the back. Here, the design ruthlessly reveals its budget lineage. The device is not slim, and the back is made from a single sheet of unattractive metal. You’ll also find the characteristic “rear end” hiding the electronics, reminiscent of OLED models. That’s exactly why the JP7 is best situated on its metal base – if you plan to mount it on the wall, be prepared for it to stick out quite a bit, which spoils the overall effect.

Review SHARP JP7765E Visibility of details in the lights

When it comes to what’s most important in Mini-LEDs, namely contrast and black levels, the Sharp JP7 in the 55-inch size we've tested uses a VA panel. Combined with backlighting divided into 160 zones (in a 10x16 layout), this promises really solid performance. Measurements on static film test patterns can be downright shocking, with reported contrast reaching five-digit values, even hitting levels of 50,000:1. On paper, this is a result that even much more expensive models would envy, and black levels under such conditions look very appealing.

Unfortunately, a TV is bought for watching movies, not for admiring static test patterns, and here the magic tends to fade. When something more begins to happen on the screen – especially in complex, dark scenes with a lot of small, bright elements – the backlight system in the JP7 starts to literally go haywire. Zones can "dance" before the viewer's eyes, flickering on and off in a manner that can be just plain annoying and distracts from the action. It is clear that Sharp has a huge area for improvement regarding local dimming management. The hardware potential in the form of Mini-LEDs is substantial, but the control algorithms clearly struggle to tame them.

So how does the brightness of the Sharp JP7 perform in the most demanding titles? Honestly, we were quite surprised at first. The TV is able to achieve over 1000 nits of brightness, which is an outstanding and rare result for a device costing just under 2000 zł (for 55 inches). Watching bright, full-screen scenes, you can get the impression that you are dealing with really good equipment. But unfortunately, we have to return to the issue we mentioned earlier, which is local dimming management. When small, bright spots appear on a dark background (like in test scenes from the films Life of Pi or Sicario 2), it’s clear how poorly the JP7 handles these zones. The TV dims them almost to the maximum, crushing the whole HDR effect, which at such moments resembles a flat SDR image (less than 200 nits). This instability means that in demanding, contrast-rich films, the image on the JP7 unfortunately loses its appeal.

As a consolation, it's worth noting that the panel has the potential to display colours well. A PFS (phosphor) filter has been employed here, which allows the coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut to reach a solid 94%. The manufacturer calls its product a “QLED,” even though it technologically relies mainly on the aforementioned PFS filter. Considering the recent market battles between manufacturers over what can and cannot be called QLED, we leave the issue of the correctness of this terminology to your judgement. However, it remains a fact that the potential for reproducing saturated colours in this panel is simply good.

Scene from the movie “Pan” (about 2800 nits)

Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)

The photos show two HDR10 movies. 'Pan' is one of the brightest productions ever made, while 'Billy Lynn' (soldier) has brightness typical of streaming (Netflix, Prime, HBO MAX). Notice the intensity of effects and detail in whites.

How does the Sharp JP7 handle details in films? Let's start with the good news. Thanks to JP7 being a bright device, in less demanding movie scenes or series, we can expect quite a decent reproduction of the image. Looking at the footage from the film Billy Lynn, it's hard to have major complaints – aside from a slight merging of the brightest elements on screen, one must admit that the image is quite impressive.

However, the trouble begins with high-budget productions designed for top-tier displays (mastered to 4000 nits). Looking at a scene from the film Pan (2015), this is glaringly obvious – the setting sun literally merges with the entire sky into one blotch. Unfortunately, Sharp has significant issues with proper tone mapping, and this affliction, known from previous years, hasn’t changed even in the latest JP7 model. The processor simply struggles with intelligently "cramming" very bright details within the capabilities of the panel, resulting in a loss of detail in the brightest parts of the image.

HDR luminance chart:

Sharp JP7 supports all the most popular HDR formats: HDR10, HLG, and the key one in this segment, Dolby Vision. Our practical tests confirm that the difference in their display is colossal. The test scene with horses on a white meadow in HDR10 reveals the TV's shortcomings in handling brightness independently. Without the support of dynamic metadata, the JP7 processor loses details in whites, merging bright elements into a single blob. Fortunately, the presence of Dolby Vision saves the situation. Because this format provides precise instructions for each frame, the TV manages to display even very demanding scenes with a lot of detail. The picture then becomes much more attractive and coherent. Comparative photos from our tests are in this case more telling than words.

Factory color reproduction

4/10

When it comes to colours straight out of the box, the Sharp JP7 was tested in the Film mode, which traditionally offers the most cohesive image compared to the yellowed “Eco” mode or the glaring blue of the “Dynamic” mode. Although this is the best choice among the available settings, the results still fall short of ideal. The white balance clearly lacked red and blue components, causing many scenes to take on an unnatural, greenish hue. Another issue was the gamma – in full-screen scenes, the TV produced excessively bright images, completely robbing it of its cinematic character. All of this resulted in colour reproduction errors, especially in shades of grey, which exceeded the Delta E 10 value. To remind you: errors above 2-3 are already noticeable to the human eye, so here we are dealing with a significant distortion of reality.

In HDR mode, the situation is reversed, but not in a better way. Here, the white balance is dominated by blue, giving the image an unnatural, almost “store-like” sharpness, reminiscent of aggressive demonstration modes. Moreover, the measurements of the EOTF curve emphasise the store-like nature of the image. The graph clearly shows that the TV generates images that are significantly brighter than the standards predict, resulting in an artificially boosted and unrealistic final effect. The Sharp JP7 is evidently trying to appear stronger than it actually is, but it does so at the expense of fidelity to the original content.

This gallery shows how colors change after professional TV calibration. If you notice the difference, we recommend ordering this service at SkalibrujTV.com.

Color reproduction after calibration

6.7/10

We subjected the JP7 to our standard calibration procedure and honestly... the television gained a second life thanks to it, especially with SDR content (YouTube, traditional television, series, or older films). With our precise adjustments to the white balance and stabilisation of the gamma, colour errors dropped to a value of below 3. This is a level at which the human eye struggles to perceive discrepancies. In this scenario, the Sharp JP7 delivers an image with truly excellent colour accuracy, which is a significant advantage in this price range. However, the HDR content turned out to be much more problematic. Here, despite our efforts and interventions in the settings, the television simply refused to cooperate. In the JP7 menu, we won’t find any option to effectively control how brightness is managed (EOTF). Although a significant portion of the colour errors has been reduced, the image still remained unnaturally oversaturated. It’s a bit disappointing because the potential of the mini-LED backlit panel is great, but the software presents a clear barrier.

The conclusion is simple: when watching less demanding content (SDR) on the JP7, you can expect an image that is more than satisfactory, but in HDR you will have to accept a certain degree of "artificiality" that cannot be bypassed even with professional equipment.

SHARP JP7765E - Smoothness of tonal transitions

7.5/10

When it comes to image clarity, posterisation on the Sharp JP7 fortunately doesn’t distract too much from the content being viewed. In most scenes, it’s hard to spot annoying stripes or the so-called “jaggies” of colour, which often ruin the experience during scenes with smooth colours. Of course, you can't expect miracles here, as in some extremely demanding scenes, a trained eye might notice issues in the tonal transitions. However, it’s not at a level that would realistically distract during a film. Well, unless you have good eyesight and are looking for artefacts on the screen – then you’ll probably find something.

Image scaling and smoothness of tonal transitions

3.5/10

No Smooth transition function

OK Image without overscan on the SD signal

The match photo shows how the TV smooths weak tonal transitions in low-quality video. The model photo shows how it handles upscaling of SD material.

When it comes to lower quality materials and how Sharp JP7 handles them, the situation is ambiguous. Let's start with the upscaling itself – here we have no major objections. The process of scaling the image to a higher resolution is correct; the picture remains readable and clear, without the overscan effect, which means no cropped edges. Of course, it's not at the level of top models and at times you can notice slight tearing on the edges, but in this price range, the effect is fully acceptable.

However, the actual digital image processing performs much worse, as aside from the scaling, it practically doesn’t exist. In the JP7 menu, we won’t find any options that would effectively smooth out unwanted tonal transitions or reduce noise in the image. As a result, the signal hits the panel in a very raw form, which with heavily compressed materials (e.g., from YouTube) results in noticeable posterisation. Either this is a programming error or a very strange design decision, because in earlier Sharp models this function was available and, more importantly, worked with noticeable effect. Here, we are stuck with what the source delivers, without any digital support from the image processor.

Review SHARP JP7765E Blur and motion smoothness

The motion fluidity on the Sharp JP7 is quite average, and the reason is simple: the TV uses a 60Hz panel. This immediately makes it hard to recommend for watching sports or serious gaming, where higher refresh rates are already the standard. The only real plus is the presence of a motion smoother, which we can control in films with a slider called De-judder. Lower settings give a more raw, “cinematic” (framey) image, while higher ones add artificial fluidity. We suggest setting it somewhere in the middle of the scale, around 3-5 – this is the best compromise to avoid the soap opera effect while also getting rid of the annoying image skipping. Interestingly, in the menu, we also find a slider for "motion blur reduction," which usually indicates the presence of a 120Hz panel. However, in the case of the JP7, it doesn’t actually enhance the image and serves more as a dummy – it looks good in the settings, but technically it shouldn’t work on this panel.

The biggest problem with motion turns out to be the extreme smearing. The results of the UFO test are merciless in this regard. A long, clear streak follows the moving object, making it impossible to miss. If you choose the Sharp JP7, you need to be aware that during dynamic action scenes or sporting broadcasts, the image will noticeably lose sharpness. This is clearly the weakest point of this panel.

Review SHARP JP7765E Console compatibility and gaming features

As we mentioned earlier, the 60Hz panel is not a feature that will attract gamers to the Sharp JP7. Perhaps for the casual gamer, whose console still generates most titles at 60 frames per second, there might be something interesting? When it comes to specific additions, we find here:

  • ALLM mode: Automatically switches the TV to low latency game mode (input lag).

  • Player menu: Which is hard to call a fully-fledged “Game Bar,” as the functionality is minimal. Aside from enabling ALLM, there’s only a dedicator for gaming which we advise against as it introduces very noticeable artifacts and spoils responsiveness.

  • Dolby Vision Gaming: For Microsoft's consoles.

Unfortunately, the list of shortcomings is much longer and more painful than the positives. The biggest disappointment is the lack of support for 120Hz, even when reducing the resolution to Full HD. The presence of 120Hz would allow for performance modes to be activated in many games on the PS5 or Xbox Series X. Another shortcoming is the VRR, which means that during frame drops, we are susceptible to screen tearing. Very problematic is also the lack of proper implementation of the HGiG standard. This results in the fact that during HDR calibration in the console menu, it is very easy to "overshoot" the brightness settings. As a result, instead of clear details in the highlights, we end up with an unnaturally oversaturated image with cut-off details. The Sharp JP7 is a proposal only for those who game very occasionally.

SHARP JP7765E - Input lag

9.3/10

The issue of input lag in the Sharp JP7 is quite intriguing. In all 60Hz modes, the TV boasts a mere 13 ms result. This is truly an excellent result, making the lag practically unnoticeable during gameplay. In this regard, Sharp has risen to the occasion, and even in dynamic titles, the controls remain responsive.

However, during our tests, we encountered a certain technical conundrum. Using our professional Murideo generator, we were able to force and measure input lag at 120Hz refresh rate in Full HD resolution. This sounds promising, but in reality, it is merely a 'paper' curiosity, as standard external devices like consoles or computers were unable to coax the Sharp into operating in that mode. Although professional diagnostic tools see some hidden potential here, for the end user, the JP7 remains just a 60Hz screen.

The photo shows the legibility of small fonts. Ideally, lines should be the same thickness on both light and dark text, with minimal pixel gaps.

Sharp JP7 performs moderately as a monitor. While the readability of standard fonts on a white or black background is acceptable, the clarity significantly drops with darker and thinner text, making it difficult to work with text for extended periods. For occasional browsing of news in the browser, this panel is sufficient; however, we definitely do not recommend it as a permanent screen for PC gaming. Besides the rigid limit of 60Hz, the television does not support any form of frame synchronization (no G-Sync or FreeSync), which combined with the significant motion blur of the panel makes the user experience in dynamic scenarios quite poor.

SHARP JP7765E - Viewing angles

3.1/10

Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 77%

Sharp JP7 uses a VA panel, which automatically means narrow viewing angles. It's a classic compromise: we get quite good blacks and contrast, but at the cost of image degradation when viewed from the side. At an angle, the colours clearly fade and wash out, losing their saturation, so the JP7 is definitely a device for watching "straight on," rather than from the corner of the couch.

The satin coating applied in the Sharp JP7 quite effectively reduces reflections, although it’s still far from being fully matte. The real 'gamechanger' in bright rooms, however, is the brightness of the device itself in SDR content. With an average result of 700 nits and peaks around 1000 nits, this is an exceptional performance in the segment under 2000 PLN. Thanks to such high luminance, the television can easily handle even brightly lit living rooms. One just has to watch out for direct reflections, for instance from a window opposite, because the satin used here won’t eliminate them completely, but at this brightness, the picture will remain legible.

Smart TV Features - Google TV

The main advantage of the Sharp JP7 is the Google TV system, which currently offers the widest access to apps on the market. The library is almost limitless – from all popular streaming services to niche VOD solutions and multimedia players. The system provides significant freedom for personalisation and access to the latest versions of popular platforms. In the package, we receive a Bluetooth remote that allows for the use of the built-in voice assistant without the need to point at the television. The only notable shortcoming in the multimedia area that we encountered is the lack of support for AirPlay. Apple device users, such as iPhone or iPad owners, will not be able to wirelessly stream images directly to the screen of this Sharp.

Classic Features and Connections

Regarding traditional TV functions, the Sharp JP7 does not offer anything that goes beyond the market standard. There is no option to record programs to external storage (PVR) or a dual tuner, which excludes the use of picture-in-picture (PiP) functionality. The television provides only basic solutions such as teletext and the ability to wirelessly connect accessories via Bluetooth. Gemini message content

As for connections, the Sharp JP7 offers 4 HDMI ports, which the manufacturer proudly describes as standard 2.1. However, let's make this clear: this is purely a marketing move, as in practice these ports offer only full functionality of standard 2.0 due to the limitations of the television. On the plus side, it is worth noting the presence of a classic mini-jack headphone output, which allows connection of older audio systems or speakers without the need for adapters or HDMI eARC standard. This is a rather rare and very practical addition nowadays.

Of course, a significant advantage is the presence of the Google TV system, which allows the installation of external apps like VLC or Kodi in case of any problems. However, in our opinion, this would be an unnecessary step as the factory player is refined and versatile enough to satisfy even the most demanding users.

The sound coming from the JP7765E model can be described as unusual, and even – looking at our measurements – quite peculiar. The first thing that stands out is the massive scale of volume. The TV can reach levels of almost 90 decibels (89 dBC on the chart), which is a record result in this class. Such strong "loudness" is sure to appeal to seniors or those who need a device with very high audibility.

However, a glance at the frequency chart explains why the sound seems so "weird." The characteristic is extremely uneven: we have solid boosts in the lower registers (around 200 Hz) and in the high tones, but the mid-range – where most of the information about the human voice lies (between 500 Hz and 1.5 kHz) – experiences a huge drop. This makes the sound unnatural and can seem "withdrawn" at key moments of dialogues.

On the plus side, there is support for the Dolby Atmos format. However, it must be honestly admitted that to truly feel the potential of this system, connecting at least a decent soundbar will be necessary. The JP7's own speakers, despite being very loud, are unable to convey the cinematic depth and precision required by this standard.

The audio on the Sharp JP7 is, to put it mildly, specific. The biggest advantage is the powerful volume – nearly 90 dB is almost a record result that seniors or anyone looking for particularly loud equipment will surely appreciate. Unfortunately, despite the proud Harman Kardon logo on the casing, our measurements reveal a deep 'hole' in the midrange. This causes the human voice to sound unnatural and recessed compared to the boosted (weak) bass and treble. Support for Dolby Atmos is a nice addition, but without an external soundbar or speakers, it's hard to talk about a cinematic experience. Unfortunately, the prestigious label of a well-known brand won't change this fact.
