Sharp announces Frameless 4k Dolby Vision TV range

Sharp has launched a new Frameless 4k TV range, dubbed DL and DN, utilising Harmon Kardon audio technology. Both use the Android smart TV platform, with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video,Spotify, Deezer and Tidal apps on hand, but only the DN models offer Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support.

The flagship 65-inch DN model features a slim, full-aluminium body enhanced with a high brightness LCD LED panel, with a peak brightness of 400 nits.

HDR support on the DN models covers Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, while 12-bit HDR colour coding claims to enhance the smoothness of tones and skin colours, to reduce banding. Active Motion 600 technology is said to dramatically increase the sharpness of movement.

The 65 incher benefits from a 2.1 sound system, with 2x10W stereo drivers and a 15W subwoofer. All DN models also have DTS Virtual:X post-processing.

The DL versions drop Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support.

Google Chromecast allows for easier content sharing from smartphones. A microphone built into the remote control can be used for Google Assistant voice control.

Expected to ship this summer, the 50DL3KA and 50DN3KA will sell for £530 and £550 respectively. The 65DL3KA and 65DN3KA models are priced at £730 and £750 each.
