High Definition Compatible Television LC-26D6U from Sharp

9 of 12

Description

The LC-26D6U utilizes Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel which provides high brightness (450 cd/m2), 800:1 contrast ratio, and wide viewing angles (170∫ x 170∫).

The LC-26D6U is Digital Cable Ready and includes a CableCARD slot. This means you can "Plug and Play" with a CableCARD from your HDTV-capable Cable-TV system provider, without requiring a separate cable set-top box.

Other features that distinguish the LC-26D6U: HDMI and 2 HD component video inputs as well as an enhanced version of Sharp's proprietary Quick Shoot video circuit, which enables a fast response time of less then 12 ms. In addition, the included table stand easily removes for wall mounting applications.


Features
