Awards

4K OLED TV AQUOS QD-OLED <4T-C65HS1> received the Gold Award, while the 4K mini LED TV AQUOS XLED <4T-C75HP1> won the Direct-View Display Category Award at the 41st HiVi Grand Prix 2025, sponsored by HiVi, a leading AV magazine published by Stereo Sound Publishing Inc..

HiVi Grand Prix 2025 is one of Japan's largest and most prestigious awards for all audiovisual (AV) products released in the year 2025, selecting the best products that led the AV scene in that year. The award was selected by a panel of seven judges, including Reiji Asakura (selection committee chairman), Haruo Ushio, Yoshio Ohara, Kazutoyo Torii, Yousuke Fujiwara, Koji Yamamoto, and HiVi's editorial staff.

The Gold Award–winning AQUOS QD-OLED <4T-C65HS1> is equipped with a latest-generation QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) panel. By combining Sharp’s proprietary heat dissipation structure and panel drive circuitry that maximize brightness performance, peak brightness has been improved to approximately twice that of Sharp’s previous models*¹, delivering exceptional brilliance and rich color reproduction. In addition, the TV features the high-quality, high-output 100W “AROUND SPEAKER SYSTEM PLUS,” which provides an immersive integration of sound and visuals. Its ability to achieve both outstanding picture quality and powerful audio was highly praised.

Meanwhile, AQUOS XLED <4T-C75HP1>, which received the Direct-View Display Category Award, is equipped with the “N-Black Wide Panel,” delivering high brightness and a wide color gamut. Alongside precise local dimming control using a mini LED backlight, the adoption of a newly developed high-efficiency light-reflective sheet has boosted peak brightness to approximately 1.5 times that of Sharp’s previous models*². This results in striking brightness and vivid color expression. The model also features an 80W high-output “AROUND SPEAKER SYSTEM PLUS,” earning high marks for both picture and sound quality.
