Sharp Electronics have announced four new lines of TV at the IFA, each sporting Quattron technology. Quattron, the latest innovation from Sharp Electronics, is an LCD color display gizmo that utilizes a fourth color subpixel, yellow, as well as standard RGB color subpixels. According to Sharp, this extra subpixel increases the range of colors your TV can display, and mimics the way the brain processes color information, thus making what you watch, more realistic. The four new TVs with Quattron start with the 3D-enabled LE925, available in 60-inch or 46-inch format. Both sizes feature Sharp’s high-speed FRED LCD signal processing technology and side-mounted scanning LED backlighting, which can produce 1.8x better brightness than other screens and decrease 3D crosstalk. They also include Aquos Net+ connectivity, 2D-to-3D conversion, a digital triple tuner and 8GB of built-in flash memory for timeshift recording. Also available, but not half as impressive, are the new 2D LE924E, LE824E and LE814E screens, also with Aquos Net+.
I am unable to tell you how much these bad boys will lighten your pocket, as Sharp are keeping hush about these details. They are rumored to be available in Germany and Austria later this month.
