Step-up Sharp LE757 a picture step down

2013-09-20
hi this is ty pendlebury from cnet with a look at the LC 60 le 757 new television not to be confused with the Boeing 747 which is an aeroplane he sharp le 757 is a television sharp 7 series TVs are the company's mid-range displays and include many non-aeronautical features like 3d and a four color LCD like an airplane though the TV features aluminum in its construction with a very slim aluminum bezel and certainly the company's thinnest yet and even though the bezel is small the TV still packs in a 35 watt speaker which sounds half decent for music and movies the le 757 comes with the smart TV suite which now includes a full screen view active 3d with two glasses and four hdmi ports with MHL compatibility MHL lets you control and charger connected smartphone or use the Roku streaming stick for plug and play smart TV Sharp's biggest suppose a drawcard over the entry-level TVs is the quattron LCD system which the company is used since 2010 it uses an extra fourth yellow pixel in addition to the normal RGB which is supposed to give you better color but in effect it gives you less colors this TV couldn't produce the secondary color cyan properly making it appear blue Quattrone enables more light to come through the television and this could have a negative effect on black levels which are much lighter on this TV than the step-down le 650 off-axis viewing is also a problem with this TV it has a very small sweet spot off access blacks turn blue and colours get even more muted as I say this the le 757 is about three hundred dollars more than the same sized le 650 but a worst performer quattrone is more expensive to make but it's still not a compelling technology get the cheaper sharp instead and spend the change on an airplane ticket this has been ty pendlebury for cnet.com
