Sharp JP7765E (for convenience, we will refer to it as JP7) is one of those launches that is hard to overlook. Why? Because the brand with Japanese roots is trying to combine fire and water here: advanced Mini-LED backlighting technology with a price that is usually associated with ordinary, supermarket LCD panels. On paper, the JP7 looks like a "golden shot." We get dense backlighting that promises a contrast significantly better than that of competitors in this class, as well as the Google TV system, providing access to the widest range 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 cut corners?

SHARP JP7765E - Our verdict

6.1

Overall rating

Sharp JP7765 is yet another offering in the market that attempts to prove that Mini-LED technology doesn’t have to cost a fortune. The low price comes hand in hand with an exceptionally high brightness – a peak of 1000 nits in HDR is a result that simply impresses in this price range. Although the proprietary processor doesn’t always manage the backlighting perfectly in demanding scenes, support for Dolby Vision effectively saves the situation. Thanks to dynamic metadata, the picture becomes plastic, deep, and simply attractive to the eye. Adding to this the Google TV system, extreme volume, and the now-rare jack headphone socket, we get a device that is a brilliant option for seniors or less demanding viewers transitioning from a regular, cheap LCD. In such a scenario, the Sharp JP7 presents itself as a really decent and cost-effective choice. However, it must be stated clearly: contrary to marketing slogans, this is not equipment for everyone. Gamers or sports fans will definitely not find themselves here. The biggest drawback of the JP7765 model is the slow, 60-hertz panel and significant motion blur, which essentially disqualifies this television for watching dynamic matches or playing fast-paced titles. The picture loses sharpness during rapid movements to such an extent that for a football or racing fan, it may be an unacceptable barrier.

So, for whom is the Sharp JP7765? It is a sensible choice for budget-conscious individuals who do not have high demands regarding motion fluidity but value a “kick” of brightness. By choosing the Sharp JP7, you will definitely make a better deal than purchasing basic (non-dimming) televisions from the competition. Rivals typically offer ordinary LCD panels for a similar price, which cannot compete with the capabilities of even such a basic Mini-LED model as the JP7. Ultimately, it comes down to a simple arrangement: you accept lower motion fluidity in exchange for powerful brightness, which is hard to find from other manufacturers at this price.

The first encounter with the JP7 may not leave you speechless, but it certainly does not disappoint in any way. Sharp opted for a tried-and-tested design that is simply meant not to interfere in the living room. We thus have slim bezels around the screen and silver accents at the bottom of the case, which are intended to add a touch of elegance to the overall appearance. However, the real surprise awaits during the assembly of the stand. Instead of adding two plastic "chicken feet" to the box, Sharp chose a central base made from one thin piece of metal. It must be said that it makes a great impression and is certainly more appealing than the plastic solutions offered by competitors in the same price range. The television on this base looks solid and modern, which is not always obvious in the budget segment.

Unfortunately, the charm fades when we glance at the JP7 from the side or the back. Here, the design ruthlessly reveals its budget origins. The device is not sleek, and the back is made from a single sheet of unattractive metal. We also find the characteristic "bum" concealing the electronics, reminiscent of the construction of OLED models. This is why the JP7 is best suited on its metal base – if you plan to hang it on the wall, be prepared for it to protrude considerably, which will spoil the overall effect.

Review SHARP JP7765E Visibility of details in the lights

When it comes to the most important aspects of Mini-LEDs, namely contrast and black levels, the Sharp JP7 in the tested 55-inch size uses a VA panel. Combined with backlighting divided into 160 zones (in a 10x16 arrangement), this promises truly solid performance. Measurements on static film screens can be quite shocking, with the measured contrast reaching five-digit values, even hitting levels of up to 50,000:1. On paper, this is a result that would not be out of place for much more expensive models, and black levels under such conditions look very attractive.

Unfortunately, a television is purchased for watching films rather than admiring static screens, and here the magic somewhat fades. When something more begins to happen on the screen – especially in complicated, dark scenes with a lot of small bright elements – the backlighting system in the JP7 starts to literally go haywire. The zones can "dance" before the viewer's eyes, turning on and off in a way that can be simply irritating and distracting from the action. It is evident that Sharp has significant room for improvement in terms of managing local dimming. The hardware potential in the form of Mini-LEDs is large, but the controlling algorithms clearly struggle to tame them.

So how does the brightness of the Sharp JP7 fare in the most demanding titles? Honestly, at first, we were quite surprised. The television is capable of achieving over 1000 nits of brightness, which is an outstanding and rare result for a device costing just under 2000 PLN (for 55 inches). Watching bright, full-screen scenes, one might feel they are dealing with really good equipment. Unfortunately, though, we have to return to the problem we mentioned earlier regarding local dimming management. When small bright areas appear on a dark background (as in the test scenes from the films Life of Pi or Sicario 2), it is evident how poorly the JP7 handles zones. The television dims them almost to the maximum, crushing the entire HDR effect, which in such moments resembles a flat SDR image (less than 200 nits). This instability means that in demanding, contrast-heavy films, the image on the JP7 unfortunately loses its appeal.

As a consolation, it is worth noting that the panel has the potential for good colour display. It features a PFS (phosphor) filter, which allows for a solid 94% coverage of the DCI-P3 palette. The manufacturer calls its product a “QLED,” even though it is primarily based on the aforementioned PFS filter. Given the recent market battles of manufacturers over what may or may not be called QLED, we leave the question of the correctness of this naming to your assessment. 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 better news. Thanks to the fact that the JP7 is a bright device, we can expect quite decent image reproduction in less demanding film scenes or series. Looking at footage from the film Billy Lynn, it’s hard to have major complaints – apart from a slight merging of the brightest elements on the screen, it must be said that the image is quite impressive.

However, the problems begin with high-budget productions designed for the highest class of displays (mastered to 4000 nits). Looking at a scene from the film Pan (2015), this is clearly visible – the setting sun literally blends into the whole sky into one blotch. Unfortunately, Sharp has significant issues with proper tone mapping and this affliction, known from previous years, has not changed even in the latest JP7 model. The processor simply struggles with the intelligent "packing" of very bright details within the capabilities of the panel, resulting in 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 player 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 glade in HDR10 exposes the TV's shortcomings in managing brightness independently. Without the support of dynamic metadata, the JP7 processor loses details in the whites, merging bright elements into one blotch. Fortunately, the situation is salvaged by the presence of Dolby Vision. Thanks to the fact that this format provides precise instructions for each frame, the television manages to display even very demanding scenes with a lot of detail. The image then becomes significantly more attractive and cohesive. Comparative photos from our tests are, in this case, more telling than words.

Factory color reproduction

4/10

When it comes to out-of-the-box colours, the Sharp JP7 was tested in Film mode, which traditionally offers the most consistent 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 are still far from ideal. The white balance clearly lacked red and blue components, causing many scenes to take on an unnatural greenish tint. Another issue was the gamma – during full-screen scenes, the television provides excessive brightness, which completely diminishes its cinematic character. All of this resulted in colour reproduction errors, especially in shades of grey, which exceeded a value of Delta E 10. For reference: errors above 2-3 are already visible to the human eye, so we are dealing with a significant distortion of reality here.

In HDR mode, the situation is reversed, but not any better. Here, the blue colour dominates the white balance, which gives the image an unnatural, almost “retail” sharpness, reminiscent of aggressive demonstration modes. Furthermore, measurements of the EOTF curve emphasise the retail character of the image. The graph clearly shows that the television generates an image 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 cost of fidelity to the 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 really... the television gained a new lease of life thanks to it, particularly with SDR content (YouTube, classic television, series, or older films). As a result of our precise adjustment of the white balance and stabilisation of the gamma, colour errors fell to a value of below 3. This is a level at which the human eye has difficulty detecting distortions. In this scenario, the Sharp JP7 delivers an image with truly excellent colour precision, which is a significant advantage in this price class. However, content with HDR turned out to be much more problematic. Here, despite our efforts and interventions in the settings, the television simply would not cooperate. In the JP7 menu, we don't find any option that would allow for real control over brightness management (EOTF). Although a significant portion of the colour errors was reduced, the image still remained unnaturally oversaturated. It's a bit of a shame, as the potential of the mini-LED backlit panel is great, but the software presents a clear barrier here.

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 must come to terms with a certain degree of "artificiality" that cannot be circumvented 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 does not detract too much from the content being viewed. In most scenes, it's difficult to notice annoying bands or the so-called "stepping" of colours, which often spoil the viewing experience during scenes with smooth colours. Of course, one shouldn't expect miracles here as, in some extremely demanding scenes, a trained eye may spot errors in tonal transitions. However, this is not 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 might 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.

In the case of lower quality materials and how the 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 sharp, without the overscan effect, meaning no cropped edges. Of course, it is not at the level of top models, and at times one can notice slight jaggedness on the contours, but in this price range, the effect is fully acceptable.

However, the actual digital image processing performs significantly worse, which, apart from the upscaling, effectively does not exist. In the JP7 menu, we will not find any option that would effectively smooth out unwanted tonal transitions or reduce noise in the image. As a result, the signal reaches the panel in a very raw form, which, with heavily compressed materials (e.g. from YouTube), leads to visible posterisation. Either it is a flaw in the software or a very strange design decision, because in earlier Sharp models this function was available and, crucially, worked with noticeable effect. Here, we are left to deal with whatever the source provides us, without any digital support from the image processor.

Review SHARP JP7765E Blur and motion smoothness

The motion fluidity on the Sharp JP7 is quite mediocre, and the reason is simple: the television uses a 60Hz panel. This instantly makes it difficult 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 smoothness feature, which we can control in films using a slider called De-judder. Lower settings provide a more raw, "cinematic" (framey) image, while higher settings add artificial smoothness. We suggest setting it somewhere in the middle of the scale, that is in the range of 3-5 – this is the best compromise to avoid the soap opera effect while also eliminating the tiring stuttering of the image. Interestingly, in the menu, we also find a "motion blur removal" slider, which usually indicates the presence of a 120Hz panel. However, with the JP7, it does not enhance the image at all and serves rather as a dummy – it is meant to look good in the settings, but technically it has no right to operate on this panel.

The biggest problem regarding motion is, however, the enormous smearing. The results of the UFO test are merciless in this regard. A long, clear streak trails behind the moving object, which is impossible to overlook. By opting for the Sharp JP7, you must reckon with the fact that during dynamic action scenes or sports broadcasts, the image will clearly lose sharpness. This is evidently 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 player, 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 television to low latency game mode (input lag).

  • Game Menu: Which is hard to call a full-fledged “Game Bar,” as the functionality here is minimal. Aside from enabling ALLM, there’s only a game-specific motion smoother which we recommend avoiding as it introduces very noticeable artifacts and worsens responsiveness.

  • Dolby Vision Gaming: For Microsoft consoles.

Unfortunately, the list of shortcomings is significantly 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 PS5 or Xbox Series X. Another shortcoming is VRR, which means that during frame drops, we are exposed to screen tearing. The lack of proper implementation of the HGiG standard is also very problematic. 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 over-bright image with cut-off details. Sharp JP7 is a proposition solely for very casual gamers.

SHARP JP7765E - Input lag

9.3/10

The issue of input lag in the Sharp JP7 is quite intriguing. In all 60Hz modes, the television achieves a result of just 13 ms. This is truly an excellent outcome that makes the lag practically imperceptible during gameplay. In this respect, Sharp has risen to the occasion, and even in dynamic titles, the controls remain responsive.

However, during testing, we encountered a certain technical puzzle. Using our professional Murideo generator, we were able to induce 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 such as consoles or computers were unable to force the Sharp to operate in such a 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.

The Sharp JP7 performs moderately as a monitor. Although the readability of standard fonts on a white or black background is adequate, the sharpness clearly decreases with darker and thinner text, making it difficult to work with text for extended periods. This panel is sufficient for occasional browsing of news in a web browser; however, we strongly advise against using it as a permanent screen for PC gaming. Besides the rigid limitation to 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 display, results in a poor user experience in dynamic scenarios.

SHARP JP7765E - Viewing angles

3.1/10

Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 77%

The Sharp JP7 features a VA panel, which automatically means narrow viewing angles. It's a classic compromise: we get quite good black levels and contrast, but at the expense of image degradation when viewed from the side. At an angle, colours clearly fade and lose their saturation, so the JP7 is definitely a device for watching "head-on" rather than from the corner of the sofa.

The satin coating of the matrix applied in the Sharp JP7 quite effectively dampens reflections, although it is far from being fully matte. However, the real "gamechanger" in bright rooms is the brightness of the device itself in SDR content. An average result of 700 nits and peaks around 1000 nits are outstanding in the segment up to 2000 PLN. Thanks to such high luminance, the television will easily cope even in well-lit living rooms. One just has to be careful of direct reflections, for example from a window opposite, as the satin used here will not eliminate them completely, but at this brightness level, the image will remain readable.

Smart TV Features - Google TV

The main advantage of the Sharp JP7 is the Google TV system, which currently offers the widest access to applications on the market. The library is nearly limitless – from all popular streaming services to niche VOD solutions or media players. The system provides great freedom of personalisation and access to the latest versions of popular platforms. Included in the package is a Bluetooth remote, which allows the use of the built-in voice assistant without having to aim at the television. The only significant shortcoming in the multimedia sphere that we encountered is the lack of support for AirPlay. Users of Apple devices, such as iPhone or iPad, will not be able to stream content directly and wirelessly to the screen of this Sharp.

Classic Features and Connections

In terms of traditional television functions, the Sharp JP7 does not offer anything beyond the market standard. It lacks options for recording programmes to external storage (PVR) and a dual tuner, which excludes the use of picture-in-picture (PiP) functionality. The television only provides basic solutions, such as teletext and the ability to wirelessly connect accessories via Bluetooth. Gemini message content

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

It even handled the HEIC format (mainly used on Apple devices) without any problems, which most televisions struggle with. Here, Sharp displayed images without the slightest hesitation. Of course, a huge advantage is the presence of the Google TV system, which allows the installation of external applications, such as VLC or Kodi, in case of any issues. 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 television can reach levels of nearly 90 decibels (89 dBC on the chart), which is an almost record-breaking achievement in this class. Such strong "shrillness" will certainly appeal to seniors or individuals who need a device with very high audibility.

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

On the positive side, support for the Dolby Atmos format is noteworthy. However, it must be honestly admitted that to truly feel the potential of this system, it will be essential to connect at least a decent soundbar. The JP7's built-in speakers, despite being very loud, cannot deliver the cinematic depth and precision that this standard demands.

The audio in the Sharp JP7 is, to put it mildly, specific. Its greatest asset is the powerful volume – nearly 90 dB is almost record-breaking, which seniors or those looking for exceptionally 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 cinematic experiences. Unfortunately, the prestigious label of a well-known brand will not change this fact.
