Sharp’s new “Special Edition” SE94U line of Full HD 1080p AQUOS® Liquid Crystal Televisions, available in 65-, 52- and 46-inch screen size classes, reinforces Sharp’s position as an innovative leader in the LCD TV industry with top-of-the-line specs, a stunning design and Internet capability. The SE94U line features Sharp’s AQUOS Net service that allows users to access customized Web-based content, as well as receive real-time customer support from dedicated Sharp advisors. It also carries a striking new Cornerstone design with a textured-finish casing that gives way to mirrored corner accents, as well as a slim-line body that’s 28 percent thinner than previous models. An unsurpassed Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 27,000:1 provides for some of the industry’s deepest most accurate black levels, while its Fine Motion Advanced technology combines double-frame data interpolation and 120Hz frame rate conversion for unparalleled video performance. Additionally, a 5-wavelength backlight system provides a wider color spectrum to achieve deeper, more vivid reds and truer greens than was previously possible. The line boasts Sharp’s most advanced version of its true 16:9 1080p (1920 × 1080 resolution) Advanced Super View panel, and comes equipped with five 1080p compatible inputs. Sharp’s entire AQUOS line was designed by world-renowned industrial designer Toshiyuki Kita, whose designs are on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The AQUOS brand evokes images of liquid crystal fluidity and emphasizes the elegant design and superior performance consumers have come to expect from Sharp products.
