Sharp's New Quattron LCDs are Shipping This Month

They're capable of quite a bit, but the one thing they don't do is 3D.

Sharp's new LED backlit LCD is packed with features, including the Quattron Quad Pixel technology that adds a fourth color into the mix. Whether or not you buy into the hype surround the addition of yellow to your pixels, there's plenty to love about the new set.

The LE830U boasts built in Wi-Fi that gives you the ability to connect to streaming sources like Netflix, Vudu and CinemaNow. It's Energy Star 5.1 certified, features four HDMI inputs and employs Sharp's X-Gen LCD panels.

You'll be able to pick up the LE830U later this month starting at $1,299 for the 40 inch model and going up to $2,799 for the 60 incher.

Sharp’s AQUOS LE820 Gets DivX Certified

The Quattron TVs just got a bit more attractive.

You’ve heard plenty about Sharp’s new Quattron televisions by now. They add a fourth color - yellow - to the spectrum, which allows for richer colors and more accurate pictures.

I saw the technology at CES and it looked great, but it was hard to tell if it looked better. Without two otherwise similar TVs showing the same source material, it’s hard to tell. Sure, the Caribbean beach footage on Sharp’s TVs looked more colorful than 'The Dark Knight' demo on Sony’s, but that’s not saying much.

Still, the LE820 just got a little more attractive with the addition of DivX certification. It’s the first set from Sharp to have it, though it’s not a new feature for HDTVs. Sharp’s new TVs will play not only DivX files but DivX HD files.

A bit of added functionality never hurts, and DivX certification means that the LE820 has been tested and found acceptable.
