Sharp Aquos LED TVs set to wow in August

Sharp recently unveiled two new HD tellies with full screen, white LED backlights. The good-looking LE600 and LE700 models promise “unprecedented image quality and energy-efficient, eco-friendly performance.”

Both of the new Aquos LED models feature Sharp’s cutting-edge LED backlight technology. In contrast to traditional backlighting, brightness is controlled via hundreds of LEDs positioned directly behind screen.

“Sharp has a heritage in pioneering TV technology,” says Paul Molyneux, Managing Director, Sharp Electronics UK. “We were the first to demonstrate the unlimited possibilities of LCD technology and we have now gone one step further with the introduction of the new Aquos Full Screen LED series.”

“We are bringing people innovative TVs that are capable of producing amazing pictures without compromising on our environmental ethos.”

LED offers superior brightness

The ultra brilliant LED design also includes a unique “double-dome” light amplifier lens and multi-fluorescents. Throw in the AQUOS Colour Engine, a new colour management system, and you’ve got eyebrow-raising brightness and colour purity that could make you whisper ‘wow’.

The flag-waving LE700 series HDTVs feature 100Hz technology; a rapid pixel response time of 4ms; and a 176-degree viewing angle. Audio comes courtesy of Dolby Digital Plus Surround, which is pumped out of two 10 Watt speakers.

Eco-friendliness is also high on Sharp’s agenda. Both the LE600 and LE700 have been awarded EU eco-labels - they consume barely 0.01W in stand-by mode.

The LE600 will be available in 32-, 40- and 46-inch models at the end of July, ditto the LE700, which also includes a colossal 52-inch model. Prices will start at £750.
