LCD TV Buying Guide Comments
This impressive new LCD from Sharp will arrive in the U.S. in October of 2008. It's a return to brushed silver with a super thin bezel framing. Most importantly this LCD will have a 1" depth. A seperate AVC box will be included and will contain all 5 HDMI inputs. Some of the key features are enhanced contrast, and an LED (RGB) backlight. The LCD has wireless connection capability to allow maximum flexibility.
Superior Picture and Sound Quality
Using the latest version of Sharp's proprietary 10-bit Advanced Super View LCD panel, this next-generation series incorporates a new RGB-LED backlight system for an unprecedented 150 percent NTSC color gamut and extremely high Dynamic Contrast Ratio of more than 1,000,000:1 for extremely deep blacks and crisp picture quality. The strong color reproduction scale significantly improves color accuracy for dark scenes and delivers a brighter, more vivid array of colors. To deliver clear, natural sound to match the high quality of the picture, Sharp joined with Pioneer Corporation to develop a thin-design speaker system that combines with Sharp's unique 1-bit digital amplifier.
Dramatic, Space-Saving Design
With a depth of only one inch at its thinnest part, the new Limited Edition Series TVs provide an extremely small footprint, establishing a new design standard for LCD TV and allowing for an even greater variety of installation styles, such as unobtrusive wall mounting. These TVs offer a metallic edge around the frame for a stylish, sophisticated look, giving consumers more freedom to incorporate the new models into the design of modern interiors.
Contributing to the slim frame of the screen, the Limited Edition Series has a separate AVC system set-top box for all input terminals, which can be connected to the screen via the included HDMI" cable or with an optional wireless connection to eliminate cable clutter. Additionally, the units include five HDMI inputs as well as dual HD component terminals, all of which are compatible with 1080p signals. For the ultimate in convenience, one HDMI and one component terminal are located on the front of the AVC system, enabling easy connections. An RS-232C port for custom installations and a dedicated PC input are also included.
Environmental Performance
Sharp has incorporated environmentally conscious, energy-saving technology into the Limited Edition LCD TVs by equipping them with a new system designed to lower power consumption during use by adjusting the screen brightness based on the level of brightness in the area of installation.
