SHARP launches 2025 AQUOS XLED TV series

SHARP unveils the 2025 AQUOS XLED GU8500 TVs with advanced features, vibrant visuals, and gaming optimisation, redefining home entertainment.

SHARP, a leading name in consumer technology, has unveiled the 2025 AQUOS XLED GU8500 series, a flagship innovation designed to redefine home entertainment. Featuring advanced technologies such as Xtreme Mini LED and Deep Chroma QD, the GU8500 series promises breathtaking visuals and immersive experiences, perfect for everything from family movie nights to dynamic gaming sessions.

Available in 65-inch and 75-inch models, the GU8500 series is set to become the centrepiece of modern homes, combining sleek aesthetics with outstanding functionality.

Cutting-edge technology for vivid visuals

The AQUOS XLED GU8500 series introduces SHARP’s Xtreme Mini LED technology, which ensures superior brightness and deeper contrast by fine-tuning local dimming zones. This delivers remarkable depth and detail in every scene, whether itโ€™s a high-action moment or a quiet, emotional exchange. Adding to the visual experience is Deep Chroma QD, a quantum dot-powered technology that expands the colour spectrum, producing richer, more vibrant hues for true-to-life imagery.

The TV’s new-generation X6 X-Revelation Processor further enhances performance, particularly for fast-action content. With a 120Hz refresh rate, the GU8500 ensures ultra-smooth visuals, making it ideal for action-packed films and gaming. The addition of HDR, HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision IQ, and Dolby Atmos technologies creates a comprehensive cinematic experience, adjusting colours and brightness to suit your roomโ€™s lighting and delivering immersive 3D audio.

Optimised for streaming and gaming

For streaming enthusiasts, the AQUOS XLED GU8500 series integrates Google TV, providing access to popular apps like Netflix, Disney+, and Mewatch. Dedicated buttons for video-on-demand services ensure seamless navigation, while hands-free voice control supports 31 languages, including six English dialects, allowing users to easily browse, control smart home devices, and more.

Gaming features are another standout, with AQUOS Smooth Motion+, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) working in harmony for responsive, lag-free gameplay. These technologies eliminate screen tearing and ensure crystal-clear visuals, even during intense, fast-paced gaming sessions.

Practical design and seamless functionality

SHARP has designed the GU8500 series with practicality in mind. A built-in cable management system keeps wires tidy, maintaining the TVโ€™s clean and modern aesthetic. With three HDMI ports, two USB ports, a digital audio output, and a LAN port, the TV supports a wide range of devices, meeting versatile entertainment needs.

In addition to its functional design, Dolby Vision IQ adjusts brightness and colour based on ambient light, ensuring optimal image quality. Meanwhile, Dolby Atmos delivers a surround sound experience, adding to the TV’s appeal as an all-in-one entertainment solution.

Pricing and availability

The AQUOS XLED GU8500 series is now available at major retailers across Singapore, including Best Denki, Courts, Harvey Norman, and online platforms like SHARP CocoroLife, Shopee, and Lazada. The 65-inch model is priced at S$3,756, while the 75-inch version retails for S$6,441.

SHARPโ€™s latest innovation combines state-of-the-art technology with elegant design, setting a new benchmark in home entertainment. Whether youโ€™re a movie enthusiast, avid gamer, or streaming fan, the GU8500 series offers a superior viewing experience for every occasion.
