Impressive Panel
From the sleek, contemporary design to the startling clarity of the revolutionary Active Matrix display panel, Sharp's LC-20S1U-S was designed to enhance every aspect of your television experience. AQUOS TVs employ an LCD technology that is more brilliant than ever before. Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View (ASV) LCD panel is arguably the most impressive display around, thanks in part to the exclusive black TFT low-reflection coating that significantly reduces glare even under harsh lighting conditions. The exceptional brightness of the LC-20S1U-S also contributes greatly to the picture performance of this liquid crystal TV, enabling it to produce vivid images even when placed in a very bright room or near windows. The high contrast ratio of Sharp's remarkable ASV panel provides superb detail and color purity even during very dark and very bright scenes. It's clear to see that choosing to "be Sharp" about LCD TV is very bright indeed.
Ultra-Compact Design
Designed to fit in any room and complement any decor, this Sharp AQUOS Liquid Crystal TV beautifully blends elegance and function. The wide 170-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles give you a great view of the screen from practically anywhere in the room. Sharp has also integrated a pair of bottom-mounted stereo speakers into the graceful, ultra-compact, one-piece design, for a sound as clear as the picture. The uniquely sculpted style and incredible image quality of AQUOS TV offers an exciting alternative to traditional TV and makes a dramatic statement about your style and good taste as well.
See How Good 480p DVDs Can Look
You'll have no trouble finding plenty of fun and engaging ways to enjoy your AQUOS, especially since Sharp included an impressive array of inputs and outputs on the LC-20S1U-S that make it easy to tap into most any entertainment source available. Form-fitted panels on the back of this AQUOS are easily removed to provide ready access to composite video (RCA-style), S-Video, and component video inputs, as well as an RF input (coax-style). The various video inputs, along with stereo audio inputs, offer a number of options for connecting DVD players, VCRs, or satellite receivers--whatever works best for you. When you have it all hooked up the way you want, pop the panels back in place to help conceal your cables and protect the connections. If you really want to see what Sharp's screen is capable of, connect a progressive-scan DVD player using the component video input. The LC-20S1U-S is compatible with the 480p format used on many DVDs, so when you send a 480p signal to this AQUOS LCD TV, you'll be rewarded with images so clear and vibrant your eyes will practically jump for joy.
Get Your Money's Worth
As the rock group Kansas sang in the 1970s,"nothing lasts forever." Even so, you expect to get your money's worth from your entertainment investment. That's why Sharp gave the LC-20S1U-S a high-quality, long-lasting LCD backlight with an impressive 60,000-hour lamp life. Not quite forever, but plenty of time to go From Here to Eternity over 30,000 times. Of course you're not likely to watch the same movie 30,000 times. Even classics like Star Wars and Willy Wonka start to get tired after a few dozen viewings. Think of it though, 60,000 hours (more than 20 years at eight hours of viewing per day) means you can expect two decades of highly enjoyable entertainment from your AQUOS Liquid Crystal television. Make Sharp AQUOS your choice for spectacular performance and solid reliability.
