At the 2012 CES, Sharp introduced nearly 20 new TV models with screen sizes of 60-inches and up, many featuring 3D in 120Hz or 240Hz panel options.  The AQUOS Quattron models will feature the new Quad Pixel Plus II technology.   Now the new models are about to start hitting the store shelves.

80-inch LC-80LE844U

In September 2011, Sharp launched the industry’s largest LED TV with its 80-inch class LC-80LE632U, providing more than twice the screen area of a 55-inch TV. And now Sharp is taking the 80-inch class TV to a new dimension with the launch of the LC-80LE844U. Available in spring 2012, the full HD 1080p LC-80LE844U features a vivid 3D image, employing Sharp’s Quattron technology with full array LED backlighting and a newly developed 240Hz AQUOS LCD panel to virtually eliminate blur during fast-moving video. The LC-80LE844U also boasts built-in WiFi, 4 HDMI inputs and the new SmartCentral user interface.

Enhanced Picture Quality

Sharp is introducing Quad Pixel Plus II, the latest innovation for its exclusive Quattron technology. This new feature is available on the 60-inch (60 1/32” diagonal) and 70-inch (69 ½” diagonal) Sharp AQUOS Quattron 8 and 9 series LED TVs, offering even greater detail, smoother lines and colour transitions. Sharp is improving picture quality even more in the 9 Series with the introduction of full array LED backlighting with local dimming, which provides deep black levels and an optimal contrast ratio, while reducing energy consumption. Local Dimming allows specific groups of LEDs to be dimmed for greater control of brightness and darkness in different areas of the screen for outstanding black levels.

Ownership Experience

AQUOS connected TV owners have access to AQUOS Advantage LIVE, Sharp’s unique, complimentary customer support program. AQUOS Advantage Live allows trained advisors to remotely connect via the Internet to AQUOS TVs to assist with setup, troubleshooting and picture optimization. And with LIVE answer, Sharp’s experts are available to customers through a dedicated line, 1-877-AQUOS09, providing instantaneous, remote access to representatives. SmartCentral will be integrated in most of Sharp’s new 2012 LED TVs, including the 6, 7, 8 and 9 Series.

The Smarter TV — SmartCentral

The TV is the entertainment hub of the home with consumers demanding the ability to easily access more types of content directly from their TV. Sharp is answering this demand with SmartCentral, a newly designed easy to use, intuitive and customizable user interface. Select models give consumers the ability to search for content, browse the Web and access many of the most popular applications, including Netflix, Facebook and YouTube among others. Users can customize their experience with personalized settings, including selecting favorite apps, and choosing from multiple wallpapers and with select models, two viewing formats – full screen or dock.

Another smart feature is Sharp AQUOS Beamzit, a free media-sharing app that allows users to wirelessly send photos, music and video to a Sharp AQUOS Wi-Fi enabled television from their IOS or Android smart phone or tablet.

Sharp AQUOS Quattron 9 Series 3D LED TVs

Sharp’s full HD 1080p 9 Series AQUOS Quattron 3D LED TVs in screen sizes of 60- and 70-inches (LC-60LE945U and LC-70LE945U) offer advanced LED technology with Sharp’s brightest Full HD Active 3D panel. They incorporate Quattron Quad Pixel Plus II and full array LED backlighting with local dimming to improve picture quality and deliver a superior viewing experience. The 240Hz panel improves picture quality further by virtually eliminating blur and artifacts from fast-moving video.

The 9 Series features Sharp’s new SmartCentral and built-in WiFi. With five HDMI inputs, consumers will be able to connect a variety of devices – including computers, to Blu-ray Disc players, DVRs, camcorders, sound bar systems and video game consoles – directly to their TV.
