42" 1080p LCD HDTV

Your new 1080p resolution LCD HDTV is a robust example of today's high-tech home entertainment. All models in this fancy AQUOS line have built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners and include five HDMI™ inputs, compatible with 1080p signals, and 2 HD 1080p component video inputs. Which means that you get blazingly beauitful high definition images that everyone is talking about. Subltle recessed speakers enhance the design and viewing experience.

More resolution in less space

Once again, Sharp has established a new design standard for LCD TVs. With a screen size of 42 inches, the AQUOS LC42D65U raises the bar by fitting large screen sizes into incredibly small footprints. By changing the layout of circuits inside the LCD panel and by reducing the number of parts, Sharp engineers developed the Slim-line design which reduces depth by 25 percent, allowing placement of the D65U in virtually any setting. The LC42D65U also has a 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology and 6ms response time. Side terminals are included for wall-mounting convenience as well as RS232C input for control.

Your 1080p connection (s)

With an eye on the technological horizon, Sharp included the most advanced connections available with the LC42D65U. HDMI is the industry standard for high-definition programming, bringing all-digital video and audio signals into your TV in ONE cable, and doing it without any form of compression, and its attendant loss of quality. The LC-42D65U has FIVE 1080p compatible HDMI (version 1.3) connections. And, because not all homes have warp-sped into the Jetson era, dual HD component video input allows for your legacy components to continue their service without pause or problem. S-Video and Composite inputs round out the offering of options. Watch HD programming, DVDs — virtually anything! — on this Sharp AQUOS LCD HDTV.

Sharp's dedication to the environment

The Sharp Liquid Crystal Television plant in Kameyama, Japan, represents the ultimate example of economic efficiency, social mindedness, and environmental conservation. Combining Sharp's vast experience and knowledge in R&D and mass production, including 50 years of TV and 30 years of LCD production, the Sharp Kameyama plant is a world-class facility for the manufacture and assembly of LCD panels. Continuing its leadership, Sharp is opening a second plant at Kamayama in October 2006. This will be the world's first facility to adopt 8th generation glass substrates, which are roughly twice as large as the substrates used in the number one plant. Plant number two is specially designed for the production of glass for LC-TV screen sizes in the 40-inch through 50-inch range and will provide a steady supply of medium to large panels to respond to the growing worldwide demand for digital and high definition compatible flat panel televisions.

The Kameyama plant was designated as a "Super Green Factory." A cogeneration system and a photovoltaic power generation system supply the plant with approximately one-third of its energy needs. Combined with a waste-heat recovery system that transforms waste heat into air conditioning, Sharp reduces CO2 emissions by 40 percent a year. In addition, the plant collects all the watewater from the production process and recycles it using water purification technology. Via its Super Green Strategy, by the year 2010, Sharp plans to completely offset its production of greenhouse gas emissions by way of energy savings from new energy-efficient products and energy creation through the proliferation of Sharp solar cells.
