    Key Features of the Sharp LC-57D90U 57" LCD TV Monitor

    Sharp LCD Display Technology

    Full HDTV Spec: 1920 x 1080 Resolution displays HDTV program images in 1080p and is compatible with off-air (terrestrial), cable and satellite HDTV broadcasts.

    Four-Wavelength Backlight
    Featured in the Sharp D90U models, this technology adds a deep crimson red to the three conventional color wavelengths (blue, green and red) to reinforce overall color reproduction, resulting in the most accurate LCD TV color performance ever.

    High Quality Interlaced to Progressive Conversion
    Sharp's unique I-to-P Conversion technology converts horizontally slanted lines and edges into smoothly-stretched lines. I-to-P conversion technology ensures detailed HDTV images and smooth pictures without "jaggy" edges.

    Active Contrast Technology Delivers High-Contrast Images
    The Advanced Super View. Black TFT LCD panels of the Sharp AQUOS LCD TV excel at delivering Contrast Ratios as high as 1500:1 and produce whiter whites and clack blacks than ever before achieved in LCD television.

    High Brightness (450 cd/m2)
    AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions are very bright. You can put them anywhere – even near windows, doors or other light sources – and the picture is still vivid.

    Bit-Depth Expansion (BDE) For More Detailed Images
    BDE uses "spatial compression" to reduce the number of bits needed to accurately display on-screen images. BDE technology requires lower bit depth drivers to maintain the same level of viewable quality, allowing Sharp LCD TV models to deliver multiple efficiencies and more natural and smooth picture.

    Proprietary Low-Reflection Coating
    This technology allows Sharp LCD TVs to effectively reduce reflection of sunlight and interior lighting to provide vivid large-screen pictures wherever you install your LCD television.

    Wide Viewing Angles (176º H x 176º V) Sharp's viewing angles are so wide, you can view the TV clearly from anywhere in the room!

    Quick Shoot Sharp's proprietary fast response time video circuit, for response time of 4ms or less, resulting in smoother, more lifelike moving images, even in fast-motion scenes.

    Convenience Features

    Digital Cable Ready with CableCARD Slot
    enables cable subscribers to receive HDTV channels using a CableCARD, which is supplied by your cable TV system provider. The CableCARD is inserted into the TV's CableCARD slot, and after the service is activated through your service provider, the card replaces the need for a separate set-top box for easy "Plug and Play" capability. Please contact your local cable company for more information.

    Detachable Speakers and Included Table Stand are the ultimate in convenience.

    Terminals and Connections

    Also includes 2 IEEE1394 "iLink" inputs, 68-pin PCMCIA CableCard slot.
