Sharp announced a new TV series this week. The Japanese group is launching the EQ series in Europe, consisting of LCD LED models that have quantum dot technology. In addition, the new models are equipped with a Harman Kardon audio system and support for Dolby Atmos.
Sharp’s EQ series of televisions are 4K models equipped with a quantum dot-filter. We know them from the QLED televisions from Samsung and TCL.

The televisions come with Android TV, version 11, and offer access to voice control with the Google Assistant. In addition, the Google Stadia gaming streaming service is supported and there are four HDMI 2.1 ports with ALLM. Furthermore, Bluetooth, Chromecast, a micro SD card reader, an AUX output and two USB ports are available for playing additional multimedia content.
