Sharps Comes Back with the AQUOS Update

A new range of AQUOS LCD television sets were recently launched by Sharp, marking the debut of the XL2E series. They will not be as thin as the previously unveiled prototype and will come in three sizes of 52, 46 and 42 inches. As you would expect these days, Sharp’s HDTVs are full high definition ready and offer 100Hz technology. Probably looking to be on the same scale as a lot of standards, XL2E were also tagged as 24p. This stands for 24 images per second and is the exact same speed that is used in cinemas.The HDTVs show a contrast of 10,000 to 1 when dynamically measuring and 2,000 to 1 in panel contrast. We have a built in DVB-T tuner and an analogue tuner together with nice features including YUV connection, VGA input and not one but three HDMI connections. Audio quality is supported by SRS true Surround.

The three TVs announced in the XL2E series are: LC-24XL2E, LC-46XL2E and the LC-52XL2E. All will be available later this year but price is still not known. Sharp will also launch 5 new 1080p TVs outside of the X20E series with models coming in 52, 46, 42, 37 and 32 inch models. All five of them will support 1,080 pixels and will be tagged as 24p while coming with over three HDMI inputs with HDCP connectivity to HD sources, 2 scart connections, a slot for CI cards (for paid TV) and YuV connection. The five new AQUOS Full HDTVs are the LC-32X20E, LC-37X20E, LC-42X20E, LC-46X20E and LC52-X20E, all coming at the end of this year.
