Sharp to Introduce Seven New AQUOS LCD TV Models

LC-45GE2, LC-37GD6/7, LC-32GD6/7, LC-26GD6 and LC-22GD6

Newly Developed “Four-Wavelength Backlight (Blue, Green, Red + Crimson)”*1 Faithfully Reproduces Pure Red




Sharp Corporation announces the introduction into the Japanese market of seven new AQUOS G Series models including 45V-, 37V- and 32V-inch*2 models featuring a newly developed Four-Wavelength Backlight*1 that faithfully reproduces pure red by adding the wavelength of “crimson” to blue, green and red.

The LC-45GE2 45V-inch model features a full-spec high-definition LCD panel with resolution of 1,920 H x 1,080 V pixels that can precisely display Hi-Vision (high definition) signals (1080i) such as digital broadcasting exactly as broadcast, enabling users to enjoy beautiful, life-like, high-definition images.

In addition to outstanding features deriving from its high-resolution, low-reflection Advanced Super View LCD panel, these models also reproduce high-speed full-motion video such as sports programs with bright, clear, easy-to-view images thanks to Sharp’s QS (Quick Shoot) Technology that improves moving video responsiveness. Also, Sharp’s High-Aperture Speaker System*3 and highly rated 1-Bit Digital Amplifier*1 deliver clear, natural, high-resolution sound. These models also offer a wealth of input/output jacks, including an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) input jack*3 and DVI (Digital Visual Interface) input jack*1, allowing users to enjoy digital video by connecting a DVD player or other audio/video equipment.

These models are designed with full attention to environmental considerations, including low power consumption, which users have come to expect from LCD TVs, and the use of materials optimized for recycling. These models are being offered as the flat-panel TVs of the future that far surpass other video systems in screen size, color reproduction, environmental performance and design.
