The AQUOS branded TVs will range in size from 32" to 52" and will be very similar to the popular 1080p LCD TVs already offered by the company but instead using Sharp's UltraBrilliant LED-backlight technology.
"With the introduction of the AQUOS LED series," adds Sharp Electronics senior vice president Bob Scaglione, via PCMag. "We are bringing consumers an affordable display solution with superior picture and environmental performance that provides a true value. Sharp is able to deliver a price-competitive yet high-performance product by producing many of the key components of the TV, including the LED components and the LCD panel."
LED-backlit TVs are said to have longer lifespans, have lower power consumption, brighter screens and more vibrant colors.
