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

SHARP JP7765E - Our verdict

6.1

Overall rating

Sharp JP7765 is 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 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 backlighting perfectly in demanding scenes, support for Dolby Vision effectively saves the situation. Thanks to dynamic metadata, the image becomes plastic, deep, and simply appealing to the eye. Adding to this the Google TV system, extreme volume, and a rarely-seen headphone jack, we get a device that is a brilliant option for seniors or less demanding viewers transitioning from basic, cheap LCDs. In such a scenario, the Sharp JP7 appears to be a really decent and cost-effective choice. However, it must be made clear: 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, 60Hz panel and significant motion blur, which essentially disqualifies this television when watching dynamic matches or playing fast-paced titles. The image loses sharpness so markedly during rapid movements that for a football or racing fan, it may be an unacceptable barrier.

So who is the Sharp JP7765 for? It is a sensible option for budget-conscious individuals who do not have high demands for motion fluidity but appreciate 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 usually offer standard LCD panels at a similar price that cannot compare to the capabilities of even such a basic Mini-LED model as the JP7. Ultimately, it’s a matter of a simple arrangement: you accept weaker motion fluidity in exchange for the powerful brightness that is hard to find with other manufacturers at this price point.

The first encounter with the JP7 may not leave you in awe, but it certainly does not disappoint in any way. Sharp has opted for a tried-and-true design that simply aims not to clash in the living room. We have sleek bezels around the screen and silver accents on the bottom of the casing, intended to add a touch of elegance. However, the real surprise awaits during the assembly of the base. Instead of tossing in two plastic “chicken feet,” Sharp has chosen a central stand made from one thin piece of metal. It must be said that this makes a great impression and is definitely more appealing than the plastic solutions from competitors at the same price point. The television on this stand looks solid and modern, which is not so obvious in the budget segment.

Unfortunately, the charm fades when we look at the JP7 from the side or back. Here, the construction ruthlessly reveals its budget lineage. The device is not slim, and the back is made from a single sheet of unattractive metal. There is also a characteristic “rear” concealing the electronics, reminiscent of the construction of OLED models. For this reason, the JP7 is best suited on its metal stand – if you plan to mount it on the wall, be prepared for it to stick out quite a bit, which will spoil the overall effect.

Review SHARP JP7765E Visibility of details in the lights

Moving on to what is most important in Mini-LEDs, namely contrast and black levels, the Sharp JP7 in the 55-inch size we tested utilizes a VA panel. Combined with backlighting split into 160 zones (in a 10x16 configuration), this promises truly solid performance. Measurements on static film test images can be downright shocking, with measured contrast reaching five-digit values, even hitting levels of 50,000:1. On paper, this is a result that much more expensive models would not be ashamed of, and black levels under these conditions look very attractive.

Unfortunately, a television is purchased for watching films, not for admiring static images, and this is where the charm wears off a bit. When something more starts happening on the screen—especially in complicated, dark scenes with a lot of small bright elements—the backlighting system in the JP7 begins to literally go haywire. The zones can "dance" before the viewer's eyes, turning on and off in a way that can be simply annoying and detracts from the action. It is clear that Sharp has a huge room for improvement regarding local dimming management. The hardware potential in the form of Mini-LEDs is significant, but the controlling algorithms clearly struggle to tame them.

So how does the brightness of the Sharp JP7 perform 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 rarely seen result for a device costing just under 2000 zł (for 55 inches). Watching bright, full-screen scenes, one can get the impression that we are dealing with truly good equipment. However, unfortunately, we must return to the problem we mentioned earlier regarding local dimming management. When small, bright elements appear on a dark background on the screen (like in the test scenes from Life of Pi or Sicario 2), it is noticeable how poorly the JP7 handles the zones. The television dims them almost to the maximum, stifling the whole HDR effect, which at such moments resembles a flat SDR image (less than 200 nits). This instability makes the image on the JP7 unfortunately lose its appeal in demanding, contrast-heavy films.

As a consolation, it is worth noting that the panel has the potential for good color display. A PFS (phosphor) filter has been implemented here, allowing the coverage of the DCI-P3 palette to reach a solid 94%. The manufacturer calls its product a “QLED,” even though it is mainly based technologically on the aforementioned PFS filter. Considering the recent market battles among manufacturers about what can and cannot be called QLED, we leave the issue of the correctness of this naming to your judgment. However, it remains a fact that the potential for reproducing saturated colors 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 movies? Let's start with the good news. Because the JP7 is a bright device, in less demanding movie scenes or series, we can expect quite good image reproduction. Looking at the material from the film Billy Lynn, it's hard to have major objections – apart from a slight merging of the brightest elements on screen, it must be admitted that the image is quite impressive.

However, the problems begin with high-budget productions made for the highest class of displays (mastered to 4000 nits). Looking at a scene from the movie Pan (2015), this is evident – the setting sun literally merges with the entire sky into one blob. Unfortunately, Sharp has significant issues with proper tone mapping, and this problem, known from previous years, has not changed even in the latest JP7 model. The processor simply struggles with the intelligent "stuffing" of very bright details within the capabilities of the panel, which results 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 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 meadow in HDR10 exposes the shortcomings of the TV in independently managing brightness. Without the support of dynamic metadata, the JP7 processor loses details in the whites, merging bright elements into one spot. Fortunately, the presence of Dolby Vision saves the situation. Because this format provides precise instructions for each frame, the TV handles even very demanding scenes with a lot of detail much better. The image then becomes significantly more attractive and coherent. Comparative photos from our tests are in this case more eloquent than words.

Factory color reproduction

4/10

When it comes to out-of-the-box colors, 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 fullscreen scenes, the television provides too much brightness, completely stripping away its cinematic character. All of this translated into color reproduction errors, particularly with shades of gray, which exceeded Delta E 10. Just to remind: 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 any better. Here, the blue color dominates the white balance, giving the image an unnatural, almost “store-like” sharpness reminiscent of aggressive demo modes. Furthermore, the measurements of the EOTF curve emphasize the store-like nature 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 expense 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 truly... the television gained a new life thanks to it, especially in SDR content (YouTube, classic television, series, or older movies). Because we managed to accurately set the white balance and stabilize the gamma, color errors dropped to a value of below 3. This is a level at which the human eye has trouble detecting discrepancies. In this scenario, the Sharp JP7 delivers an image with really great color accuracy, which is a significant advantage in this price range. However, the content in HDR turned out to be much more problematic. Here, despite our efforts and adjustments to the settings, the television simply did not want to cooperate. In the JP7 menu, we cannot find any option that would allow for real control over brightness management (EOTF). Although a significant portion of color errors was reduced, the image still remained unnaturally oversaturated. It's a pity because the potential of the mini-LED backlit panel is large, 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 have to come to terms with a certain degree of "artificiality" that cannot be overcome even with professional equipment.

The photos show how movies look on the TV. Pay attention to black detail visibility, colors, and shadow tint.

SHARP JP7765E - Smoothness of tonal transitions

7.5/10

When it comes to image purity, posterization on the Sharp JP7 fortunately doesn't distract too much from the content being viewed. In most scenes, it's hard to spot irritating stripes or the so-called "color stair stepping," which often ruin the experience in scenes with flat colors. Of course, you can't expect miracles here because in some extremely demanding scenes, a trained eye may notice errors in tonal transitions. However, this is not a level that could realistically distract during a film. Well, unless you have good eyesight and are looking for artifacts 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 the Sharp JP7 handles them, the situation is ambiguous. Let's start with the upscaling – here we have no major objections. The process of scaling the image to a higher resolution is correct; the image remains readable and clear, without the overscan effect or cropped edges. Of course, this 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 digital image processing itself is significantly worse, as aside from the scaling, it virtually does not exist. In the JP7 menu, we won't find any option that would effectively smooth out unwanted tonal transitions or reduce noise in the image. As a result, the signal reaches the matrix in a very raw form, which, with heavily compressed materials (e.g., from YouTube), leads to visible posterization. Either this is a flaw in the software or a very strange design decision, as in earlier Sharp models, this feature was available and, more importantly, worked with noticeable effect. Here we are left at the mercy of what the source provides, without any digital support from the image processor.

Review SHARP JP7765E Blur and motion smoothness

The motion fluidity on the Sharp JP7 is very mediocre, and the reason is simple: the television uses a 60Hz panel. This immediately 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 motion smoother, which we can control in movies using a slider called De-judder. Lower settings produce a more raw, "cinematic" (frame-based) image, while higher settings add artificial fluidity. We suggest setting it somewhere in the middle of the scale, that is, in the 3-5 range – this is the best compromise to avoid the soap opera effect while getting rid of the tiring image stutter. Interestingly, in the menu, we also find a slider for "motion blur reduction," which usually suggests the presence of a 120Hz panel. However, in the case of the JP7, it does not contribute anything to the image and serves more as a placeholder – it is meant to look good in the settings, but technically it should not function on this panel.

The biggest problem with motion turns out to be the enormous smearing. The test results for UFO are unforgiving here. Behind the moving object, there is a long, clear trail that cannot be overlooked. If you choose Sharp JP7, you must take into account 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 gamer, whose console generates most titles at 60 frames per second, there might be something interesting? When it comes to specific additions, we find:

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

  • Game Menu: Which is hard to call a full-fledged “Game Bar,” as its functionality is minimal. Besides enabling ALLM, there is only a smoothness enhancer dedicated to games, which we recommend against because it introduces very noticeable artifacts and spoils the 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 lowering 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 absence is VRR, which means that during frame drops, we are susceptible to image 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 highlights, we end up with an unnaturally over-brightened image with cut-off details. The Sharp JP7 is a proposal only 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 boasts a result of just 13 ms. This is truly an excellent result, making the lag practically unnoticeable during gameplay. In this respect, Sharp has risen to the occasion, and even in dynamic titles, the controls remain responsive.

However, during our tests, we encountered a certain technical puzzle. Using our professional Murideo generator, we were able to force and measure the 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 60 Hz 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 adequately as a monitor. Although the readability of standard fonts on a white or black background is acceptable, the sharpness clearly drops with darker and thinner text, which makes long work with text difficult. For occasional news browsing in a browser, this panel is sufficient; however, we strongly discourage using it as a permanent screen for PC gaming. Besides the rigid limitation to 60Hz, the TV does not support any form of frame synchronization (lack of G-Sync and FreeSync), which, combined with the enormous blurring of the panel, makes the user experience in dynamic scenarios simply poor.

SHARP JP7765E - Viewing angles

3.1/10

Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 77%

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

The satin coating used in the Sharp JP7 matrix effectively reduces reflections, although it is still far from fully matte. However, the true "game changer" in bright rooms is the brightness of the device itself with SDR content. An average score of 700 nits and peaks around 1000 nits is an outstanding result in the segment under 2000 PLN. Thanks to such high luminance, the television can easily handle even well-lit living rooms. One just needs to be cautious of direct reflections, e.g., from a window across, because the satin material used here will not eliminate them completely, but at this brightness, the image remains readable.

Smart TV Features - Google TV

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

Classic Features and Connections

Regarding traditional television features, the Sharp JP7 offers nothing beyond the market standard. It lacks the ability to record programs to external storage (PVR) and a dual tuner, which excludes the use of the picture-in-picture (PiP) function. The TV 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, it must be made clear: this is a purely marketing move because in practice these ports only offer full functionality of standard 2.0 due to the limitations of the television. However, it is a plus that there is a classic mini-jack headphone output, which allows connecting older audio sets or speakers without the need for adapters or the HDMI eARC standard. This is quite a rare and very practical addition lately.

It even managed to support the HEIC format (primarily used in Apple devices), which most televisions struggle with. Here, Sharp displayed photos without the slightest hiccup. Of course, a significant advantage is the presence of the Google TV system, which allows for the installation of external applications like VLC or Kodi in case of any issues. In our opinion, however, this will be an unnecessary measure because the factory player is refined and versatile enough to satisfy even the most demanding users.

The sound produced by the JP7765E model can be described as atypical, and even – looking at our measurements – rather peculiar. What stands out first is the enormous volume scale. The TV can reach a level of almost 90 decibels (89 dBC on the chart), which is almost a record result in this class. Such strong "loudness" will certainly appeal to seniors or people who need a device with a very high volume.

However, a glance at the frequency chart explains why the sound seems 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 of the information about the human voice is located (between 500 Hz and 1.5 kHz) – experiences a huge drop. This makes the sound unnatural and can seem "recessed" at key moments in dialogues.

On the plus side, we have support for the Dolby Atmos format. However, it must be honestly admitted that to truly feel the potential of this system, it will be necessary to connect at least a decent soundbar. The JP7's own speakers, although very loud, cannot deliver the cinematic depth and precision that this standard requires.

The audio in the Sharp JP7 is, to put it mildly, specific. The biggest advantage is the powerful volume – nearly 90 dB is an almost record-breaking result that seniors or those 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 spectrum. This makes the human voice sound unnatural and withdrawn 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 won’t change this fact.
