SYDNEY, NSW: Long recognised for its quality in LCD TV, now Sharp is the latest manufacturer to introduce an LED LCD to its TV line up.
The new 40-inch AQUOS LED backlight LCD TV (LC-40LE700X) in encased in the ubiquitous and obligatory piano black bezel.
It’s all about the panel though and Sharp call it an “X-Gen Panel with advanced pixel control and Ultra Brilliant LEDs”.

It draws a low power consumption of 139 Watts, as well as producing less heat generation. Sharp claims it has a six-star energy rating and that the backlight life is 100,000 hours.
LED is renowned for high contrast and the LC-40LE700X claims a high dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1.
It also has Fine Motion Advanced Technology for a 100/120Hz frame rate conversion and a fast pixel response time of 4ms.
It features SRS TruSurroundHD and Bass Enhancer for high impact sound.
