TV Sharp FN2 Series. The Sharp FN2 Series is a comeback for the venerable TV brand, offering more sophistication than you may anticipate for the price. Although it could perform better, that’s not exactly the idea. This is a cost-effective flatscreen with a dependable Android TV platform and good picture quality. All notable streaming services are accessible through Google Play, and the user experience is great. Additionally, a very powerful Harman Kardon sound system is included with this Sharp set.

Features & Designs:

• Broad feet, thin bezel 
• Smart TV with Android 11 
• Viewpoint Play 

With its narrow bezel and widely spaced feet that screw into the base, the 55-inch (UK model) model under examination has an elegant but unassuming appearance. To make room for it, I had to utilize a long AV bench, but once put in, it looked great.  First, take a look at your furnishings. Alternatively, you can wall mount the FN2. Due to its somewhat flimsy construction, this TV weighs only 15.6 kg, making it a solid contender for that.  Four HDMI connections, one with eARC, a digital optical audio output, two USB (V2.0) ports, an AV minijack input, and Ethernet (if you choose it over the integrated Wi-Fi) make up the rear connectivity. An SD card slot is an odd additional that can be used to play back digital photos and other similar files. TV Sharp FN2 Series.

The set includes:

• A CI card slot.
• A satellite alternative (helpful if you have a disused dish feed on hand).
• A Freeview Play terrestrial tuner (in the UK).  

It comes with a small, rather user-friendly remote control. It can be identified by its large navigation pad and special Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and Freeview Play buttons.  The FN2 Series’ main selling point is its Android TV smart OS, which is currently running on version 11. TV Sharp FN2 Series. This provides a full screen of carefully chosen content from Netflix and other catch-up TV providers, as well as from dedicated channels and service rails.  You also get built-in Chromecast streaming and voice assistant interaction as part of the Android feature package. 

Image Clarity:

• Sound Design 
• Good Mean Image Quality 
• Peak HDR brightness limitation 

There are peaks and valleys in terms of image quality. The panel needs to be helped by the set’s default picture setting, Eco, which comes with the group. After you’re up and running and have your channels tuned in, I suggest that you change to the Standard picture preset right away. This increases brightness significantly and in a way that is simple to understand.  For the majority of the content, I kept the set in this setting because it provides a nice balance between contrast and dynamics. Additional visual choices are Vivid, Sport, Movie (which, like Eco, I felt was a little too subdued for comfortable watching), and User (configurable).  The inclusion of Dolby Vision, which produces the finest HDR performance from this panel when used with Dolby Vision content (common on Netflix and Disney+ 4K episodes), is another draw of the set, at least from the perspective of home theatre.   The defaults change to Dolby Vision Bright, Dolby Vision Dark, and Dolby Vision Vivid when you view Dolby Vision shows. Here, Bright seems to be the best choice.  Because of its low price, this model’s max HDR brightness is constrained. I used both 5% and 10% patches, and I tested it at about 400 nits. TV Sharp FN2 Series. More is needed to produce the kind of visual depth that HDR is known for and to lift specular highlights.   Its average picture quality with SDR content is really quite good. It provides a consistently bright image that is suitable for both dimly lit dens and daylight rooms. Thanks to Clear’s dual-core Ace Pro Ultra picture engine, HD and native 4K programs appear remarkably clear; old DVDs and SD channels, on the other hand, appear fuzzy and should be avoided.  The fact that the FN2 Series does not support 4K 120Hz gaming did not surprise me. The HDMI ports are v2.0, and the panel is a regular 60Hz display with a specific game mode. But latency is bad; in game mode, I measured input lag at 50.8 ms (1080p/60fps). If you prefer competitive, fast-paced shooters, a screen with better input lag would be a better choice.

Audio Clarity: 

• X 12W stereo output DTS Virtual sound system by Harman Kardon 
• The visual quality of the set is limited, but the FN2 offers better audio quality than most at this price range.
• Understandably, you might believe this TV will sound weak, but it doesn’t. 

It’s actually full-bodied thanks to a Harman Kardon-designed sound system. When played in an average-sized living room, its 12W total power and mid-range weight are more than enough to portray dramas and even action films accurately.  Additionally, the set can bitstream Dolby Atmos from streaming providers over eARC to an external soundbar or home theatre system. TV Sharp FN2 Series. Although the built-in speaker arrangement may only be stereo, DTS Virtual:X processing is an option. This gives the soundstage a subjective enlargement, making the experience more cinematic. Another option is Truebass, a low-frequency enhancer; nevertheless, it was too aggressive and boony. 

Cost and Availability:

There are four screen sizes for the Sharp FN2 Series, and they are all currently available. Pick from models measuring 43, 50, 55, and 65 inches, with prices ranging from £329 to £529 for each.  The 55-inch model that I have on my test bench is known by the model numbers FN2KA and FN2KL in the UK. It is available for purchase from stores, including Marks Electrical, RGB Direct, and Richer Sounds. With a minor model number change, the identical Sharp range is offered in the US as 43FN2EA, 50FN2EA, 55FN2EA, and 65FN2EA. The cost has yet to be disclosed.

Decision:  

The Sharp FN2 Series is an impressive 4K flatscreen at an affordable price. You can get a subjectively high average picture level and a razor-sharp image for not too much money.   Even if the maximum HDR brightness is constrained, Dolby Vision material still looks amazing, and the availability of Android TV and Freeview Play (in the UK) guarantees that the majority of catch-up and streaming services are accessible. Its poor performance with input lag is the obvious drawback. You should search elsewhere if you are an avid player of video games, especially those with a high speed. TV Sharp FN2 Series.
