The TVs have digital TV tuners built in, but can also be used as computer monitors depending on the user's needs.
Both displays feature "a contrast ratio of 1,200:1, brightness of 450cd/mē and a horizontal viewing angle of 176 degrees. Traditional RGB video, as well as S-video and component plugs are also part of the HDTVs' connections. A network jack and RS-232C input are also included, and the TV remotes can also control a connected Sharp Blu-ray player through CEC support."
New sensors adjust brightness and conserve energy and the company says the LC-20E5 and LC16E5 use only 61kWh and 48kWh energy per year.
Both TVs are set for September releases in Japan with a retail price equivalent to $870 and $780 USD. No word on a North American release.
