The D40U series widescreen HDTVs further strengthens Sharp’s unrivaled selection of screen sizes, unique designs and sophisticated cabinet finishes. The competitively-priced AQUOS models feature Sharp’s proprietary new Advanced Super View LCD panel with multi-pixel technology, providing crisp on-screen images and the most vibrant colors possible, as well as increased viewing angles, for a stellar picture from almost anywhere in a room.

The AQUOS D40U series includes an enhanced version of the ASV panel, which provides an incredibly sharp contrast ratio of 1200:1, and an enhanced pixel response time of less than 6 ms to further improve the picture quality on fast-moving action scenes. With multi-pixel technology enabling wider viewing angles than previous models (176 degrees), the television can be viewed from almost anywhere in the room. And with 1366 x 768 resolution for a true 16:9 aspect ratio, built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners and dual HDMI and HD component terminals, the D40U series delivers a stunning experience of HDTV programming combined with incredible connectivity options for simple, versatile set-up. All models in this series also feature high brightness (450 cd/m2) and Black TFT low-reflection coating, so they can be placed near bright light sources or windows without compromising picture quality.

The newly-designed D40U series is available in an elegant piano black finish with fixed bottom-mounted speakers and an included table stand, for flexibility in room placement.
