Splashing pictures across their LCDs at ‛full HD’, or juicy full-fat 1080p for the technically minded, the new Sharp Aquos collection ranges from 37-inches to a monolithic 52-incher.
Put simply, these new flatties have more pixels than lower spec models, so there’s no need for pictures to be scaled down. That means the picture will match broadcasts exactly, so there’s no loss of detail, even on bigger TVs.
Speaking of bigger screens, the new Aquos models are 10% larger than their predecessors, upping the ante on 40-inch models with 42 and 52-inch beasts.
Even the screens’ lighting has been upgraded. Sharp’s now using an extra Crimson Red, as well as the standard red, green and blue lights to give more natural shades and subtle skin tones.
Plus, all the screens are anti-reflection, and automatically adjust their brightness to suit the room.
You won’t be stuck for programmes to watch on the Hi-Def beauties either, as Sharp’s just launched a new Digital TV Recorder (DTR… or PVR in old money), packing twin Freeview tuners and a 160-gig drive.
Pair that with one of the new Aquos screens, and you can watch one Freeview channel through the telly, while recording two others on the recorder – couch potato heaven!
