Just when you thought large HDTVs were the domain of plasmas, Sharp have come along to try to prove you wrong with a 65 inch AQUOS LCD HDTV, namely the LC-65GX5. This little, or should we say, large sucker is the latest addition to the GX5 range which peaked at 52 inches earlier this year. This latest addition to the family sports the following bells and whistles

* 1080p display
* 15,000:1 contrast ratio
* 450 cd/m2 brightness
* 176 degree viewing angle
* HDMI x3, Composites x3, S-Video and DVI inputs

The LC-65GX5 comes equipped with Sharp’s ARSS 2.1 speaker system. The amp pumps out 7.5 W to each speaker plus 15 W to the sub-woofer. It also features DLNA which means it’ll talk nicely to other DLNA enabled equipment and for photography enthusiasts there’s an infra-red port to send images from your camera straight to the TV.

How about the price tag? The LC-65GX5 is only available in Japan right now and is priced at the equivalent of US$6,500. Not too shabby for a LCD big boy with all the bells and whistles, so we may see the LC-65GX5 gracing a few living rooms over the Christmas period!

With the NFL season and the Rugby World Cup just around the corner, Sharp has just provided the sports fan with the ultimate excuse for purchasing a new HD TV. Their latest range of 1080p LCD TVs, the D64U not only boast a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, a 4 ms response time and a 176 degree viewing angle but

a body that is approximately 25% slimmer than previous AQUOS models and about 20% lighter than previous models. The D64 series also features a thinner bezel, and tight fit stealth speakers, giving consumers the ability to fit larger screens in smaller spaces

Yep, that’s right, you can throw out last year’s that ancient bulky LCD TV and buy one with a bigger screen but takes up less space. How can your better half say no?

Even the price tags seem reasonable - 42 inches at US$2,100, 46 at $2,700 and 52 at $3,800. So go on guys give the AQUOS a whirl, should be delivered just in time for kickoff ;)
