New Sharp Aquos LC-TV Enhances In-Room Hotel Entertainment
MINNEAPOLIS, June 20, 2006 - Sharp, a worldwide leader in flat-panel Liquid
Crystal Televisions (LC-TV), is expanding its line of high-definition (HD) AQUOS
LC-TVs with the new LC-32HT2. Designed specifically for the hospitality industry,
the widescreen, high-definition 32-inch television combines Sharp's Emmy
Award-winning LCD technology with built-in LodgeNet and On Command, as well
as nStreams, NxTV and SeaChange pay-per-view interfaces, ensuring that
almost any hotel can bring the stunning picture of AQUOS to their guests. The
LC-32HT2 is also compatible with the Pro:Idiom system for high-definition
content, a DRM system developed specifically for the hospitality industry.
"With a superior picture and stellar performance, this new HDTV will provide the
ultimate in-room entertainment experience for hotel guests," said Sean McBride,
Product Marketing Manager, Display, Sharp Electronics Corporation. "Combining
the latest screen technologies with pay-per-view interface capabilities, the
AQUOS will enhance any guest's hotel stay."
Sharp created the LC-32HT2 AQUOS specifically for enhanced hotel room
entertainment. The stylish, titanium finish fits into any room's décor, and the set
features a bottom-mount speaker system that allows for placement in the
majority of existing hotel case goods. AQUOS LC-TVs can also be hung on a
wall using optional brackets for increased location flexibility. The LC-32HT2 takes
LC-TV performance to the next level with an enhanced version of Sharp's
proprietary Advanced Super View (ASV) panel, which enables an incredible
1200:1 contrast ratio and an amazing pixel response time of 6 ms, for stellar
picture quality even on fast-moving action scenes. With a viewing angle of 176
degrees, colors appear bright and vivid from virtually anywhere in the room.
The TV's extremely high contrast ratio results in blacker blacks, and the high
brightness provides exceptional color clarity, for superior program viewing of all
types. The ASV panel with Black TFT low-reflection coating dramatically reduces
glare, so the unit can be placed anywhere - even near windows, doors or other
light sources without sacrificing picture quality.
To help reduce the risk of copyright infringement, the HT2 is compatible with
Pro:Idiom, the first digital rights management (DRM) system developed
specifically for the lodging industry. The LC-32HT2 AQUOS will be available in
the United States this fall.
