LAS VEGAS — Sharp on Wednesday introduced a family of new high-definition flat-panel LCDs that include a built-in Blu-Ray player.
Shipping February, Sharp’s AQUOS BD series will be available in 16 different models ranging from 26 to 52 inches diagonally.
The three largest sizes feature a 120Hz refresh rate, meaning they refresh motion images two times faster than the normal 60Hz rate. That spells out to an "exceptionally clear and crisp picture when viewing fast-action images," said Bob Scaglione, Sharp’s senior vice president of marketing, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The TVs display high-definition at 1080p resolution. The TVs also include a "dejudder" feature to reduce background motion noise.
"This product line represents the pinnacle of image quality," said Mike Troetti, Sharp’s president of marketing.
The TVs will cost between $1,650 to $5,000, depending on size.
