Sharp LCD TV: Sharp unveiled an incredible breakthrough
in flat-panel television today with the introduction of the
world’s
largest widescreen Sharp LCD TV at the 2005 Consumer Electronics
Show. The new 65-inch AQUOS™ is the pinnacle of Sharp’s
industry-leading roster of Emmy® Award-winning* flat-panel
TVs that deliver eye-popping sight and sound experiences as
well as unmatched contemporary designs. With screen sizes
ranging from 13 to 65 inches, Sharp’s AQUOS LCD collection
reinforces the company’s dominant position as the global
leader in Liquid Crystal Television.**
“Year after year, Sharp Electronics breaks new barriers
in home entertainment. Last year Sharp delivered the first
45-inch LC HDTV, and we’ve raised the bar once again
with the awe-inspiring 65-inch LC HDTV,” said Bob Scaglione,
senior vice president, Consumer Electronics Marketing Group,
Sharp Electronics Corporation. “The new 65-inch Sharp
AQUOS LCD TV with built-in HDTV tuner and CableCARD™
slot truly is the pinnacle of home entertainment, and we look
forward to delivering this breakthrough product to our loyal
dealers and customers.”
The Sharp 65-inch AQUOS hdtv is not only the world’s
largest widescreen LC HDTV, it also delivers a stellar 1080p
(progressive) image, the pinnacle of the high definition TV
standards. It is compatible with the new Digital Cable Ready
specifications, so that consumers can simply insert a CableCARD
from their cable-TV company and enjoy high-definition TV without
the need for an outboard set-top box.*** The television offers
outstanding 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution for a “true”
16:9 aspect ratio with enhanced contrast and faster response
time using Sharp’s exclusive Quick Shoot video circuitry.
The result is a viewing experience that leaves competitors
in the digital dust.
In addition to the 65-inch AQUOS, Sharp is introducing several
other new, impressive widescreen Sharp LCD HDTVs and HD Monitors
at CES ranging from 26 to 65 inches. In classic Sharp tradition,
consumers will have a wide variety of screen sizes, stylish
designs and speaker options from which to choose. Not only
will the new AQUOS models appeal to design enthusiasts, but
they will excite home theater aficionados as well. The Sharp
LC-TVs have all of the most advanced digital interfaces (HDMI,
DVI-I, 1394) to connect with the latest components.
“The new 65-inch Sharp AQUOS LC HDTV and its siblings
further cement Sharp’s leadership position in the fast-growing
flat-panel television business,” said Scaglione. “These
sets are just the latest products from our new sixth-generation
factory in Kameyama, Japan, where the integrated manufacture
of Sharp LCD panels to LCD TVs takes place. When the factory
opened last year we stated it would lead to the industry’s
largest and highest-quality flat-panel TVs. Those claims are
now a living reality.”
