MAHWAH, NJ, August 5, 2008 -- Sharp, a worldwide leader in flat-panel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Televisions, is expanding
its large-screen SB series of LCD HDTVs, making the sought-after high-definition (HD) experience available to more consumers.
The SB series (LC-52SB55U, LC-46SB54U and LC-42SB45U) provides consumers with affordably-priced Full HD, big-screen
options, available in 52- 46-, and 42-inch screen size class units (diagonal 52 1/32", 45 63/64" and 42 1/64" respectively), some of
the most popular screen sizes today. All three feature Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080 resolution), and are cased in a glossy
piano-black bezel.
“As the demand for high-definition home entertainment continues to rise, we are creating a wide range of reasonably-priced HDTVs
that incorporate Sharp’s esteemed picture quality and renowned features,” said Bruce Tripido, associate vice president, marketing,
Entertainment Products Division, Sharp. “The large-screen SB series of LCD TVs opens up the high-definition viewing experience to
a wider consumer base, providing an affordable, yet high-quality option for consumers.”
Helping more consumers create a true high-definition home theater, the large-screen 1080p SB models feature Sharp’s Spectral
Contrast Engine for deep blacks and crisp images. All three models also feature an impressive pixel response time of 6ms, providing
excellent picture quality on fast-moving action scenes, and wide viewing angles so the TV can be viewed from virtually any seat in the
room.
Additionally, these sets come fully equipped with built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners and an array of inputs, including four
HDMI™ on the LC-52SB55U, two on the LC-46SB54U and three on the LC-42SB45U, as well as two HD component
terminals on each. All models feature a dedicated PC input so the TV can also act as a PC monitor. An OPC Power Save function
