Sharp AQUOS XLED review: what the specs say

Sharp's step-up QD Mini LED — over 2,000 dimming zones and an 11-speaker built-in sound system. At $1,999.99, Sharp's 2024 model sits in the middle of the range — the TVs we compare run from $279.99 to $12,999.99. It scores 7.7/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.

Its strongest showing is Smart Platform at 8.0/10 — OS responsiveness, app ecosystem, and voice assistant support. The weakest is Value at 7.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.

Worth knowing before you buy: pricing varies significantly by retailer, from roughly $2,000 to over $3,000; and peak brightness and processor not officially specified. Every specification on this page comes from Sharp's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
