Sharp's latest 37-inch AQUOS LCD does 1080p


If Sharp's top-o-the-line R-series of AQUOS LCDs are a tad too rich and too big for you and yours, then try on the latest 37-inch G-series, g. The LC-37GS brings a full, 1080p HD resolution across that ASV LCD panel. Fine, while that resolution bests that of their 37-inch AQUOS LC-37D43U, you'll have to suffer a lower 2000:1 Dynamic Contrast vs. the 6000:1 found on the D-series panel. As to the rest: 6-ms response, 176-degree viewing angle, and 2x HDMI, 1x DVI-I, and 2x Firewire jacks for connecting your video camera and Sharp's AQUOS HD recording gear. Available in either side (LC-37GS20) or under-panel (LC-37GS10) speaker configurations for about ¥320,000 ($2,015) when these hit Japan in March.

52- and 46-inch Sharp 1080p Aquos LCDs US-bound in October

Speaking of "reaching a broader customer base in a speedy and timely manner", Sharp has already announced US pricing and availability for two of the LCDs already shown this morning in Japan. The 52-inch LC-52D62U and 46-inch LC-46D62U 1080p Aquos LCDs will be available in October with MSRPs of $4,799 and $3,499 respectively. Couple that with their new next-generation ASV panel that provides a 2000:1 static contrast ratio (10,000:1 dynamic), 450 cd/m2 brightness, 4ms response time, two 1080p HDMI inputs, two component inputs, built -in QAM/ATSC tuners and Sharp's 4-wavelength backlighting system and you have a good product at a great price compared to Samsung and Sony LCDs of the same size. No word yet on the 42-inch HDTV shown earlier in Japan, but they may wait to announce it here since it is not due until November.
