How to select the right Sharp HDTVOne of the pioneers and staunch supporters of LCD technology, Sharp has been a key player in the TV business since 1953 leading up to its current line of Aquos HDTVs. Along the way, Sharp has roped in renowned Japanese designer Toshiyuki Kita, producing striking aesthetics including the signature V-shaped pedestal stand prominently featured among many early Aquos models. In addition, the company uses in-house-developed and manufactured Advanced Super View (ASV) LCD panels from Japan. These are said to have low-reflection properties that help to minimize screen glare.
 Another noteworthy feature is the 1-bit digital audio amplifier (amp). Besides sporting higher power efficiency than conventional analog amps, it also runs cooler and can faithfully reproduce original TV and movie soundtracks. According to Sharp, the system samples audio signals 64 times faster than a CD for smoother and more realistic sounds. Some of Sharp's recent releases pack fast 100Hz refresh rates to smoothen motion judder, as well as the increasingly popular LED backlighting for mega contrast and plasma-like blacks.
