Be Sharp, Get Brilliant
From the sleek, contemporary design to the startling clarity of the revolutionary LCD panel, AQUOS was designed to enhance every aspect of your television experience. AQUOS LCD 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 panel around, thanks in part to the exclusive black TFT panel that significantly reduces glare even under harsh lighting conditions. The exceptional brightness of the LC20S4U also contributes greatly to the picture performance of this Liquid Crystal Television, enabling it to produce vivid images even when your AQUOS is placed in a very bright room or near windows. You won't have to hang blankets over the windows or hang out in a spider hole to enjoy a great picture from this LCD TV. The high contrast ratio of Sharp's remarkable ASV panel provides superb detail and color purity even during very dark and very bright scenes. The LC20S4U also features Sharp's sensational OPC (Optical Picture Control) sensor that automatically adjusts the brightness of the picture based on the brightness of the room. It's clear to see that choosing to "be Sharp" about LCD TV is very bright indeed.
Style to Spare
Designed to fit in any room and complement any decor, AQUOS Liquid Crystal Television beautifully blends elegance and function. The wide 170-degree by 170-degree viewing angle gives you a great view of the screen from practically anywhere in the room. Sharp has also integrated a pair of stereo speakers into the graceful 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.
What's Your Pleasure?
With so many entertainment options easily available, you'll have no trouble finding plenty of fun and engaging ways to enjoy your AQUOUS. Especially since Sharp included an impressive array of inputs and outputs on the LC20S4U that make it easy to tap into most any entertainment source available; whether you're using an A/V receiver or not. Form fitted panels on the back of this AQUOS are easily removed to provide easy 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 video output, stereo audio inputs and stereo audio output offer a number of options for connecting DVD players, VCRs, satellite receivers, sound systems and so on. Whatever works best for you. When you have it all hooked up the way you want, pop the panel's 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 LC20S4U is compatible with the 480P progressive scan 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.
Never Ending Story (Practically)
You expect to get your money's worth from your entertainment investment; and rightly so. That's why Sharp gave the LC20S4U a high quality, long lasting LCD backlight with a lengthy 60,000 hour lamp life. 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 means you can look forward to years of highly enjoyable entertainment from your AQUOS Liquid Crystal Television (60,000 hours equals nearly seven full years). It doesn't take the brightest bulb in the box to see that it pays to "be Sharp" with your TV.
