Picture

The 55FN2KA is a 4K (also called Ultra HD or UHD) television. This means there are over 8 million pixels spread across the screen, which allows for breath taking picture detail. This is four times higher than the previous benchmark of full HD (FHD), and it shows. From being able to differentiate the hairs on a lion’s mane during an Attenborough marathon all the way to watching a panning cityscape shot and realising you can make out the detail of every building, 4K means delivery of a crystal-clear picture.

Sharp’s FN2KA series also have HDR (High Dynamic Range) support as standard. When combined with the already impressive 4K display resolution, HDR transforms picture quality from great to absolutely breath taking. The two most noticeable effects of HDR support are better lighting (through bigger ranges of both brightness and contrast) and more realistic colours (through 12-bit colour depth). Using both features in tandem allows the 55FN2KA to play HDR supported media that looks fantastically realistic.

Sharp’s FN2KA series televisions include Active Motion. In each TV is a powerful processor that makes use of the FN2KA's fast response time to enhance playback detailed and fast moving playback. This is particularly noticeable when viewing detailed playback of quick movements (especially with sports).

Other inclusions:

• In built Chromecast

Sound

The 55FN2KA’s audio quality is a result of Sharp’s partnership with Harman Kardon.

Viewers experience truly dynamic audio range as well as rich, clear, and precise sound.
