Sharp Starts its Aquos Quattron TV Line

All the bigs names are in for the race to the 3D TV. Samsung, Sony, LG and Toshiba… All of them? No, Sharp seems to be preoccupied by something else… Something big… the Quattron TV. Luckily for sharp, the attraction of the 3D TV has left the Quattron market wide open and fairly unguarded. As a matter of fact, Sharp is probably alone in the race and has been making strong progress on its new line of Quattron LCD TVs. These TVs use the Quad Pixel Technology. Connoisseurs have probably already seen Star Trek’s George Takei promoting this new line of TV in a some recently released ads for the TV (Quattron TV?).

Many reviewers mention that Quattron is the best image humanity has ever seen in a regular TV. According to them, after you see a Quattron TV, you will wonder how you did not realize how unrealistic tv images were until Quattron came in. The Quattron simply uses an addition to RGB. The problem with the RGB colorspace is that it only occupies a tiny fraction of the whole colorspace that we can perceive. So , the addition of a fourth color, the yellow color, in the Quattron series of tv’s, allows this colorspace to be greatly expanded, which results in much clearer, and much more realistic colors.

What are the best LCD TVs for you?

Getting the right sized lcd tv is an important part in maximizing your viewing experience as a whole. You don’t want to be sitting in your living room, leaning back trying to take in the screen because it’s too large. Similarly, you don’t want to be leaning forward and squinting because the screen is much too small for the room. We’ve put together a guide to help you choose the best lcd tv size for you.

First off, go into your living room (or wherever you’re going to be putting the television, and measure the distance from your couch to wherever your tv will be. This is an important step, you’ll want to decide before hand on the size, based on your room’s layout and where your furniture is. You can always rearrange it later, but its better to measure ahead of time.

Here is a basic chart of screen size and optimal viewing distance. Ideally, you want about 2.5 ft per 10″ of television. This is just meant as a general guideline, as some people will prefer to sit closer or further.

Screen Viewing Distance
30″ 6.5 – 8.5 ft
40″ 9 – 11 ft
50″ 11.5 – 13.5 ft
60″ 14 – 17 ft
70″ 16 – 19 ft

Make sure that you are seated with your eyes approximately level with the middle of the screen. This will ensure that the picture appears at it’s brightest to your eyes.

The last consideration is viewing angle. If this is to be a family television, for example, you may need to set it further back so that everyone is able to see the picture clearly. Viewing angle considerations need to be made, so you should consult the technical specifications of the best LCD TVs.
