The Sharp’s $16,000 57" AQUOS LC-57D90U LCD HDTV
Sharp has done a spectacular job by introducing the new 57-inch AQUOS LC-57D90U LCD HDTV but I think it failed to justify the hefty price tag of $16,000 around its neck. For your kind info, the so-called 1080p LCD doesn’t even allows 1080p over HDMI and even if compared with other LCD HDTVs, the LC-57D90U takes long 10 seconds to lock up to a 3:2 sequence. Except for its comparatively larger screen, it doesn’t boast anything that counts for the $16,000 tag. On the other hand, I will give full points to its scaler, 4ms response time and impressive video deinterlacing. But, if you are going to buy the AQUOS LC-57D90U LCD HDTV, I won’t advice you to do so. The much better option is to buy two or three smaller sized LCDs for your different rooms.

Sharp ready to start a Flat panel price war
Sharp is making a comeback in the LCD TV market and with a vengeance. Last year it lost some ground to rivals because it did not upgrade to next generations manufacturing technology while the others did. The company has started making TVs out of glass from its 8th generation Kameyama plant. Sources say that out of 2.16 meters by 2.46 meters of a glass sheet six LCDs can be made where as earlier the ratio was only two to three 52-inch panels out of smaller glass sheets being used earlier. Earlier at CEATEC Sharp exhibited a 64-inch LCD monitor that provides a resolution that is four times normal HD (high definition). This prototype supports 4096×2160 resolution, which is double the normal HD resolution. What will be interesting to see in coming month’s holiday season prices by Sharp.
Sharp joins the cheap LCD race
Sharp has joined the race in developing cheaper LCD TVs just like Samsung and Toshiba, with LC-32GD8E. Sharp will sell this 32-incher for around £700-£800. Being cheap the TV does not compromise on the quality. The LC-32GD8E displays razor-sharp images and is truly an eye candy. The main things that have been sacrificed by Sharp are the interfaces as there is only one HDMI socket and the component video and the VGA inputs have been integrated into a single socket. If you ignore these minor things, the TV is a winner all the way…
MCFI technology promises blur reduction from LCD TVs
Yes, we’re sick of the ‘Blur’ output most of the available televisions give and it has been a major problem associated with LCD TVs. Many big companies like Samsung, Sharp, and Sony are working out new methods to remove this chronic irritation. First, we should talk about the reason that causes blur. It is actually the result of human visual system. Our brain anticipates the next move of a moving object if this mental anticipation does not synchronizes with the actual image then we see a blurry image. A technology known as MCFI (motion-compensated frame interpolation) can help reduce blur to a great extent as using this technology the number of images per second can be doubled. The new technology refreshes TV images at 120 to 100 hertz, or 120 to 100 times a second, versus the 60-hertz rate of typical LCDs. This new technique will bring down the response time from 15milliseconds to just 8milliseconds. JVC has actually started selling a few 120 hertz LCD TVs with interpolation. Samsung is also looking forward to implement this technology in its new LCD TVs. Sharp expects to be the first company to put it into eight-generation fab 1080p HD TVs.
Sharp announces two 32′ Full HD LCD TVs
Sharp has unveiled its two new Full HDTV’s in 32′, LC-32GS10 and LC-32GS20. Both these models promise high quality picture with a 1920×1080 resolution. The models have high contrast ratio of 2000:1 and can maintain perfect brightness up to 450cd/m2 due to Black ASV technology employed. They can be easily connected to external devices with built in 2 HDMI ports and an iLink port. The positioning of speakers marks the only difference in these two models as LC-32GS10 has speakers at the bottom and LC-32GS20 features them on each side. Price: 1820.00 Euros
