Sharp JP7265E

The JP7265E is evidence that mini-LED technology has entered the entry-level market. netzwelt gives it a rating of 2.1 and notes that the television could easily cost 200 euros more compared to the competition. It retails at around 365 euros for 55 inches.

Positioning and Target Audience

The Sharp is aimed at movie fans with a small budget: good contrast, good colors, but no gaming ambitions. Those connecting a console would be better served with the TCL T8C.

Image and Panel

The QD-mini-LED backlight operates with **192 dimming zones** – almost ten times what Samsung uses in the more expensive QN70F. The result is a measured contrast ratio of 36,333:1, by far the highest value in the test group. Additionally, it features 696 nits peak brightness and a color deviation of just 1.9 Delta-E, the best color accuracy among all the devices represented here. Dolby Vision is supported. In extreme contrast scenes, the backlighting occasionally flickers visibly.

Gaming and Connections

• 4 HDMI ports – but **all only at 60 Hz**
• 4K at 60 Hz, no VRR
• Headphone output and analog video input
• Triple tuner, CI+

The 60 Hz limitation applies to every port. For console gamers, this is the hard limit of this device.

Sound and Operating System

The sound is surprisingly clear – but only when the Dolby audio processing is turned off. Google TV provides the full app selection, although the program guide is cumbersome.

What’s Missing

No automatic brightness adjustment to room lighting, no 120 Hz, no VRR. The measurements are based on the test of the 65-inch variant; Sharp specifies identical features for 50 to 75 inches.

Conclusion and Price-Performance Ratio

Around 365 euros for 55 inches (as of August 2026), available from 50 to 75 inches. The JP7265E offers the best black level and the best color accuracy in the test group at the lowest price – but completely lacks gaming features. For movie nights in a darkened room, this is the smartest purchase here.
