Sharp's AQUOS LC-26GA5U Advanced Super
View television makes LCD quality and flat-panel elegance
better looking and more affordable than ever. The 26-inch
widescreen set is picture-frame thin and its table stand
detaches for efficient wall mounting (wall-mount brackets
optional). With 1,366 x 768 native pixel resolution, the
LC-26GA5U offers compatibility with high-definition video
sources up to 720p. Two built-in speakers powered by 10
watts per channel render full-bodied stereo sound.
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 (no risk of image burn-in),
space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also
tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma
counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster
response times and higher contrast ratios.
Sharp's proprietary Quick Shoot video circuit ensures a
lightning-quick response time of less than 16 ms for
smooth-as-silk video and gaming graphics. The LC-26GA5U's
Advanced Super View/black TFT (thin-film-transistor) screen
offers exceptionally wide (170- by 170-degree) viewing
angles and an extraordinary contrast ratio of 800:1 for
super-black blacks.
Its high brightness (450 cd/m2) ensures wide dynamic range
for vivid colors, great depth, and realism. You can place it
anywhere--near windows, doors, or other light sources--and
its picture will remain vivid. And, with its 60,000-hour
lamp life, the backlight life is long enough to give you
viewing pleasure for many years.
Connections consist of 2 high-definition component-video
inputs, 1 DVI-I (Digital Visual Interface-Integrated) input
for your PC, 1 HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
input, 3 composite-video inputs, 1 S-video input, and 1 RF
input (HDTV reception may require an antenna). An
audio/video output (composite- and S-video with stereo
analog audio) facilitates hookup with a surround receiver,
DVR, VCR, or other destination.
DVI-I is a direct-digital DVI terminal capable of
transmitting both analog and digital video data. HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless,
uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any
audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV
receiver) with your TV or monitor. HDMI supports
standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or
high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital
audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV
standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with
bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and
requirements.
