Fit more resolution in less space
Once again, Sharp has established a new design standard for LCD TVs. With a screen size of 52", the AQUOS LC52SB55U 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%, allowing placement of the LC52SB55U in virtually any setting. Not only is the bezel of this set very small, the thickness of the LC52SB55U has been kept remarkably thin. The LC52SB55U utilizes Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel with multi-pixel technology, providing 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology and 6ms response time. The LC46D64U features built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners and includes 4 HDMI inputs, compatible with 1080p signals, a PC input and 2 HD component video inputs.
The quality is breathtaking
With full HD spec 1080p resolution, dramatically enhanced black level and an elegant new design, the AQUOS LC52SB55U produces a breathtaking picture quality that is second to none. The AQUOS LC52SB55U utilizes the next generation of Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel with multi-pixel technology, providing a native 2000:1 contrast ratio and a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1 with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology. It also delivers a 6ms response time and wide viewing angles (176-degree, horizontal and vertical).
Multi-pixel technology
Great style and performance don't just happen. It takes a commitment to quality, an incredibly talented team of professionals and a vision for innovation. Sharp, a global leader in Liquid Crystal Televisions year after year, continually raises the bar for outstanding quality and high performance. Take the LC52SB55U's Multi-Pixel technology, for example. By dividing each pixel into two sections and developing an advanced driving system, Sharp's new Multi-Pixel Technology delivers more natural and accurate color reproduction when viewing the screen from virtually any angle.
Four-wavelength backlight system
The conventional three-wavelength red, green and blue LCD backlight just got better. Sharp has vastly improved natural color reproduction with the development of its four-wavelength backlight system, adding a remarkably vivid crimson red to the palette — and changing the way LCD TV is viewed. With Sharp, the color possibilities are endless.
Get connected
With an eye on the technological horizon, Sharp included the most advanced connections available with the LC52SB55U. 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 LC52SB55U has three 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.
The future looks Sharp
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. And they have a new plant, 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" through 50" 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% 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.
