AQUOS - which is derived from a combination of the word 'aqua' and 'quality' - is the perfect name for Sharp's newest series of LCD televisions. The AQUOS brand invokes images of the fluidity of liquid crystal and serves to emphasize the elegant design and superior performance of Sharp products. The question isn't where will AQUOS fit into your life, it's where won't it? No more than 2.5" deep, all you need is a little bit of imagination, and a tiny bit of room. Put one on the kitchen counter, mount one on the bathroom wall, take one on the deck, put one on the desk of your home office, or on that skinny bed side table. AQUOS is television wherever you want it. Interior designers were among the first to recognize the design potential of flat-screen televisions. The slim profile and light weight of AQUOS allowed them to put television where it's never been put before. No longer were they hiding a big black television in a bulky media cabinet, or making room for televisions that are over a foot deep. With AQUOS, its sleek design does more than complement any decor, it adds style to any room. Homes aren't the only place where AQUOS has made a splash. Its flat screen and modern design has attracted the attention of the fashion world. And because it's easy to move and set up in different locales, it's becoming popular at high-end retail stores, museums, fashion shows, trade shows and in upscale restaurants. So, where will you put your AQUOS?With Sharp's proprietary new Black TFT LCD panel the AQUOS LC-15B2U has higher brightness, wider viewing angles and longer lamp life than ever before, making it truly "TV where you want it", for any room in the house. The ultimate in convenience! Carry it easily from room to room, or detach the one-piece stand for wall mounting.

The Aquos LC-15B2U is less than 3 inches deep and offers a 15-inch screen (diagonally measured). It has Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View LCD panel, giving it a higher contrast ratio and wider viewing angles than was previously possible. Aquos monitors are characterized by bright, precise picture quality, a sleek design, a bright picture, and Sharp's Black TFT technology. Because it has one of the brightest available monitors, you can put the TV set anywhere--even near windows, doors, and other light sources--and its picture will remain vivid. With its 60,000-hour lamp life, Sharp's LCD backlight will give you viewing pleasure for many years.

The 15-inch ASV panel is Sharp's proprietary design. The Black TFT-enhanced screen combines an antiglare treatment with a low-reflection coating to ensure brighter pictures and more vivid colors than you'd get from conventional LCD displays under similar conditions. The monitor is compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video formats. A built-in 181-channel tuner lets you plug cable TV right into the LC-15B2U and start watching. Two speakers frame the unit on either side for stereo sound.

An onboard image inverter steps in to flip the image upside-down if you need to hang the TV in an unconventional manner. The 160-by-160-degree viewing angles are so wide that you can watch the monitor from anywhere in the room. The included carry handle-table stand is the ultimate in convenience. Carry the monitor easily from room to room, or detach the one-piece stand for wall mounting. The monitor consumes 60 percent less power than do other comparably CRT direct-view televisions of comparable size.

Sharp's LC-20SH4U provides a slim, versatile television solution. The LC-20SH4U uses the world's most successful LCD panel, Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT panel, which provides high brightness, a high contrast ratio, low reflection glare protection and wide viewing angles, as well as Sharp's Emmy Award winning LCD technology. Featuring a distinctive side-speaker design, the LC-20SH4U is an EDTV Monitor, so it is compatible with progressive (480p) DVD players.

The Sharp Aquos LC-20SH4U 20-inch LCD TV delivers brilliant picture and outstanding audio with small footprint, perfect for the kitchen or your bedroom. 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. It has an integrated a pair of stereo speakers into the graceful one-piece design, for a sound as clear as the picture. Energy-efficient Aquos TVs also consume 60 percent less power than comparably-sized direct-view tube TVs.

This EDTV (Enhanced Definition TV) set is capable of displaying not only television signals in 480p (480-pixel progressive) but also from video sources such as progressive-scan DVD players. This offers a far better resolution and picture than playing a DVD through an interlaced video screen from a standard CRT set.

The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. The superb LCD-panel technology reduces glare and provides bright and vivid pictures. This set also offers a multi-region color system (PAL, SECAM, NTSC).

The two integrated speakers produce 1 watt of power per channel (for 2 watts of total power), and it offers the following connection options:

• Composite AV In/Out: 2 in/1 out
• S-Video In/Out: 1 in/0 out

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The DCDi chip also offers 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

AutoPicture lets you change--at the touch of a button--the picture settings (color, tint, contrast, etc.) for various types of programming, including sports, movies, multimedia (games), or weak signals. An audio volume leveler (AVL) keeps the TV sound at an even level for a more consistent, comfortable sound, and a five-band graphic equalizer lets you tailor the sound to your preference. Inputs include a component-video (standard-definition), an S-video, and a composite-video connection, with a .125-inch stereo headphone jack for private listening (headphones not included).

When an electric current is passed through the liquid crystals, they align so light cannot pass through. Each crystal then either blocks or allows light to pass through it based on the broadcast information. For clear, crisp color that rivals traditional CRT (cathode-ray tube) displays, a thin film transistor, known as a TFT is employed.

LCD allows screens to be thinner, and televisions lighter and more energy-efficient than ever before. The result is television that not only fits on a wall, but also fits in places conventional televisions cannot.

A headphone jack affords private listening, and Virtual Dolby surround sound simulates surround sound from any two speakers.

20.1" EDTV Monitor features truly flat LCD screen delivering razor sharp images. Built-in NTSC tuner accepts cable/antenna, HDTV, satellite dish and NTSC video sources. High resolution format produces extremely detailed imagery. LCD technology emits sharp contrast between light and dark images. 450 cd/m2 high brightness renders an incredibly bright picture, even in light-drenched environments. New Super IPS Technology allows for distortion-free viewing from almost any angle. Multiple inputs for DVD players, VCRs, computers and video game systems are available. Unique stand allows for easy cable management, with tilt and swivel features for ease of viewing from any position. Lightweight and compact frame includes built-in speakers.

Zenith's L20V36 20-inch LCD television features high-tech image enhancements like Super IPS technology, Faroudja DCDI De-Interlacer processing, and a 3-line digital comb filter. This is an EDTV display, which means it's a step closer to high-definition or HDTV than standard TVs. When used with a progressive-scan DVD player (or 480p-output DTV set-top box) you'll get seamless, razor-sharp images from your favorite movies and concert videos. The set receives NTSC broadcast signals for off-air viewing, while its inputs accept feeds from cable/antenna, HDTV set-top boxes (480i/480p) and satellite dishes.

Pictures render in extremely detailed, 4:3 aspect-ratio 640 x 480 resolution, which is perfect for progressive-scan DVD outputs and video games. You also get high brightness (450 cd/m2) for a bright picture even in light-drenched environments. Inputs include high-resolution component-video, S-video, computer RGB, RF, and composite-video/analog stereo audio.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

Super In Plane Switching (Super IPS) technology (made by Zenith's parent company, LG Electronics), which delivers unprecedented horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 176 degrees--virtually equaling those of CRTs, all the while ensuring better, clearer pictures from off-center seating positions than previously possible with an LCD. Super IPS uses a switching mode that treats light passing through the display at an angle virtually the same as light passing straight through the display. As a result, the set renders brightness, contrast, and color much more evenly, regardless of where you sit.

A 3-line digital comb filter enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt).

The set also uses Faroudja's DCDi Processor, which upconverts standard video signals (480i) to progressive-scan 480p signals, eliminating the jagged edges along diagonal lines. Progressive-scan signals create a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional pictures, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Parental control with V-Chip (a programmable feature that uses the US standard content-advisory system to exclude viewing of specific programs or program types) helps you keep young eyes off mature content. Other features include Dolby Virtual Surround processing for simulating surround sound from the set's two 5-watt speakers, and an onscreen graphic equalizer for tailoring the sound to your preference.

For connections, the set offers 1 each component- and S-video inputs, 2 composite-video inputs, and 1 coaxial RF input for use with an antenna or a VCR or cable box. A headphone output affords private listening.

Liquid crystal display televisions work by trapping a liquid crystal solution between two sheets of polarized glass. When an electric current is passed through the liquid crystals, they align so light cannot pass through. Each crystal then either blocks or allows light to pass through it based on the broadcast information. For clear, crisp color that rivals traditional CRT (cathode-ray tube) displays, a thin film transistor, known as a TFT is employed.

LCD allows screens to be thinner, and televisions lighter and more energy-efficient than ever before. The result is television that not only fits on a wall, but also fits in places conventional televisions cannot.
