Sharp Electronics today announced immediate availability in Canada of the new AQUOS D64U series of full-HD 1080p LCD televisions which feature Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View (ASV) / Black TFT Panel with Multi-Pixel Technology.
The AQUOS D64 series features an innovative re-engineering of the internal circuitry and a reduced number of parts, to create the thinnest large screen flat panel television in the industry(*). The body of these new TVs is approximately 25% slimmer and almost 20% lighter than previous AQUOS models.
The D64 series also features a thinner bezel, and close-contoured hidden speakers, maximizing the screen size possible within the available space. This revolutionary design improvement, coupled with easily accessible side terminals, provides much more flexibility in wall-mounting applications. The new AQUOS models are available in 42-inch (LC42D64U), 46-inch (LC46D64U), 52-inch (LC52D64U) and 65-inch (LC65D64U) screen sizes.
"By making the AQUOS D64 series smaller, we've effectively made them bigger," said Kevin Andrews, Display Product Manager, Consumer Electronics, Sharp Electronics of Canada. "With this elegant, space-saving design, consumers can now fit a 42" screen into about the same space that a 40" TV would previously have taken up."
The D64 line also comes equipped with a host of connectivity options including: three side terminal inputs: one HDMI(TM), one component, and one composite. In the rear, there are two additional HDMI(TM) inputs, one component, two composite, one S-video, a dedicated PC input and RS-232C for system control. The HDMI v1.3 and component inputs are compatible with 1080p signals from Blu-ray and advanced gaming devices.
Manufactured at Sharp's state-of-the-art Kameyama LCD factory, the company's ASV panels feature decreased colourshift and improved LCD performance; Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 10,000:1; Sharp's 4-wavelength backlight system for improved black levels; 176 degree viewing angle and 4ms response time.
All new models are Energy Star qualified and feature reduced power consumption compared to previous AQUOS models.
