Introducing Android TV

The UH30 and UE30 series are Sharp's first TVs to come equipped with Android TV™, bringing the world's most popular mobile operating system to your Sharp 4K Ultra HD TV. Android TV allows you to watch hit shows, timeless movies and viral videos from Google Play, Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, PBS Kids and more. You can easily search apps, or if you know what you want to watch, use voice search and Android TV will find it.

With Android TV you can immerse yourself in console-style Android games such as Final Fantasy, NBA Jam and Badland. The Google Cast feature allows you to cast content from popular apps such as HBO Go, Pandora and WatchESPN from your Android or iOs device straight to your Sharp 4K Ultra HD TV.

The UE30 and UH30 feature breakthrough picture technologies like AquoMotion™ 480 and 960, respectively, to reduce motion blur in fast action scenes, and AquoDimming™, which controls each pixel to reveal detail in dark areas.

Easy connectivity is at your fingertips in both the UH30 and UE30 series with four HDMI® inputs equipped with the latest 4K specs, an SD card reader (UH30 only) and built-in Wi-Fi™ and Bluetooth®.
