SHARP announces AQUOS X - the world's thinnest LCD TV

Sharp's new AQUOS X series LCD TVs will be available in Europe from September 2008. Recently launched in Japan, the world’s thinnest LCD televisions in production, the AQUOS X series TVs, will be fully compatible with European market standards and connection regulations. The extremely thin Full HD LCD TVs come in screen sizes of 37, 42 and 46 inches (94 to 117cm) and will be formally revealed to the European market at this year’s IFA, Europe’s largest consumer electronics event.

Taking another step towards the dream of the frameless LCD TV, the AQUOS X series measure just 3.44 centimetres at their widest point. The astonishing image quality is provided by 120-hertz technology in combination with Full HD resolution. Equipped with dynamic contrast of 15,000:1 and a 3-way audio system, this is the ultimate high-resolution television experience. Environmentally friendly design and a low electricity consumption of less than 0.5 watts in standby mode make the new AQUOS X series models the most eco-friendly in their class.

More Sharp Aquos reviews now available

Following on from our previous reviews, we now have a more extensive list of the Aquos range reviewed.

Here's the full list of reviews that are currently available:

• Sharp Aquos 42" LCD model LC-42XD1E The Aquos is a great-looking TV. It produces excellent picture quality from standard definition sources and in High Definition (HD) mode the quality is absolutely stunning. It's easy to install and set up, though connecting an XBox 360 was a little fiddly. The supplied remote control is intuitively designed and quickly accesses the impressive array of features. Read the full review
• Sharp Aquos 46" LCD model LC-46XD1E This 46" model is near the top end of the current Aquos range of flat panel LCD televisions from Sharp, both in terms of size and specification. Along with others in the range, it boasts full 1080P High Definition (HD) picture quality and this looks stunning when connected to an HD source. The 46" Aquos also delivers strongly with standard definition broadcast and DVD, giving rich colours, excellent contrast and superb sound from the built-in speakers. It also looks great in terms of design, having a slim, sleek frame and stand. Read the full review
• Sharp Aquos 52" LCD model LC-52XD1E The 52" model is the largest flat panel LCD television currently available from Sharp, topping off the Aquos range. The screen is massive even by today's standards, but the full 1080P High Definition (HD) specification provides an excellent experience when connected to an HD source. The 52" Aquos also delivers a good picture from Sky, Freeview and DVD, with rich life-like colours, excellent contrast and a booming sound system. As with the other TVs in the Aquos range, it also looks great in terms of overall design, the screen being set in a slim piano-black frame and complimented by an elegant stand. Read the full review
• Sharp Aquos 37" LCD model LC-37XD1E The 37" model shares the same good looks as the rest of the Aquos range, but this model didn't perform to the same high standard during review. Other models in the XD1E series haven't failed to impress, but this LCD TV is an unfortunate exception to the rule. Although it boasts the same full 1080P specification as other Aquos models, both the picture and sound quality seemed much less impressive than its bigger cousins. Read the full review
• Sharp Aquos 32" LCD model LC-32RD2E This 32" model is the jewel in the crown of the Aquos models reviewed to date. The 100Hz frame rate provides a judder-free picture, with very smooth action scenes. Colours are extremely realistic, retaining good definition across bright and dark scenes. The sound quality is superb. All in all the LC-32RD2E is a stunning television. Read the full review
