Tweet

In case you are thinking about heading out to purchase a brand new HDTV for your living room or home theater then hear me out before you leave! Sharp has a brand new LX AQUOS line of LCD HDTVs and all the models included will sport cool features like LED backlighting and UV²A technology.

Once these Sharp LCD HDTVs become available for the general public, you will be able to choose your favorite model. There are four sizes: 60-, 52-, 46-, and 40-inch and one of them might just be the one you were looking for.

Proceeding to specs we will notice features like UV²A technology, LED backlighting, 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, integrated ARSS six-speaker system (well, five for the 40-inch version) with duo bass sub-woofer, AQUOS High-Picture-Quality Master Engine and Preferred Image Sensor and AQUOS family link II and VOD support.

Are you excited yet? Well in order to be truly excited you’ll have to know first what things like UV²A technology or LED backlighting mean. UV²A is a brand new technology developed by Sharp’s finest engineers which will bring to your HDTV better contrast and better efficiency. Basically UV²A will increase by 60% the contrast ratio of your chosen panel while using up to 20% less energy than other TVs. That means you get to save some money on that electricity bill while enjoying a much better picture.

LED backlighting on the other hand is slightly a more popular feature when it comes to HDTVs, LCD monitors and all sorts of other displays. In short LEDs are used to efficiently illuminate the display from the back of the panel. This type of illumination is growing even more popular when it comes to HDTVs and we should see more LED backlit LCD panels in the near future, at least until OLED displays become really affordable. But we’ll cross that bridge when we get there!

The new Sharp LX AQUOS HDTV line employs white LEDs instead of those pricier RGB LEDs which means these HDTVs are going to be cheaper than what the completion is currently selling. Prices haven’t exactly been announced yet but there is plenty of time to do that by November. That’s when these HDTVs will hit stores in Japan with other markets to follow soon. So what LCD HDTV did you say you were planning to buy?
