Sharp Unveils World’s Largest LED LCD TV Affirming That Size Does Matter in Some Cases

by  • 

So, does anyone have an extra $5,500 they could spot me?  Actually could give me? Sharp just announced the 80”  Aquos LC-80LE632U HDTV, claiming the title for who has the biggest, HDTV that is…  Yes in my dreams I would have this TV in my living room, but sadly spending that much on a TV is just not in my budget now or into the foreseeable future either. This new TV is a full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) Smart TV, equipped with built-in Wi-Fi and  access to apps like Netflix, CinemaNow and VUDU  as well as Sharp’s exclusive AQUOS Advantage LIVE online support. SO if you happen to pick one up, please let me know so I can come over and play some games on it!

"Our 80-inch AQUOS TV delivers more than double the screen area of a 55-inch TV, for an amazing viewing experience," said John Herrington, president, Sharp Electronics Marketing Company of America. "It’s truly like nothing else on the market. Consumers want bigger flat panel TVs for deeper, more immersive viewing experiences and that’s exactly what Sharp’s delivering here."

The AQUOS 80-inch LED LCD TV offers stunning picture quality and sleek design. The full array LED backlighting system ensures uniformity in both color and brightness from edge to edge and corner to corner while also enabling an incredible dynamic contrast ratio of 6,000,000:1. Additionally, the LC-80LE632U employs 120Hz Fine Motion Enhanced which virtually eliminates blur and motion artifacts in fast-moving video. At an incredible depth of less than four inches, the new AQUOS 80" is a stylish replacement for similar screen size rear-projection TVs, with depth of almost two feet.

With AQUOS Advantage LIVE(SM), Sharp AQUOS Advantage Advisors can remotely connect to the TV through the Internet to assist with TV setup, troubleshoot and optimize the picture quality.

The LC-80LE632U is the latest expression of Sharp’s goal of providing a large screen TV to fit virtually any need or budget. It is the centerpiece to Sharp’s large-screen push of 2011, following the release of five Sharp AQUOS 70-inch class TVs and 10 AQUOS 60-inch class TVs.

  • 80-inch Class (80-inch diagonal) – more than double the screen area of a 55-inch Class TV;
