The Sharp Aquos is a range of LCD televisions and component screens made by Sharp Corporation of Japan. It encompasses small, portable models (e.g. the 13" B series) up to large home-theater screens (e.g. 65" high-definition widescreen models), as well as component screens for portable devices including mobile phones. The Aquos brand is Sharp's premium LCD line (as Sharp also makes non-Aquos LCD TVs that sell for less), and recently they have been the first series of LCD HDTVs to feature integrated Blu-ray Disc players with the BD-60U and BD-80U series debuting in 2009. Aquos LCD TVs are notable for displaying color in a RYGB color space known as Quattron, which adds a yellow component, as opposed to the standard RGB color space used by most color televisions. Initial models in the Aquos range were designed by noted Japanese industrial designer Toshiyuki Kita.[citation needed] George Takei is the spokesman for the line.
At the January 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Sharp unveiled the world's largest LCD TV manufactured at the time, a 108" prototype measuring 2.386 × 1.344 m.[1]
I bought a Sharp Aquoe in 2007. In 2010 the TV broke! My local TV shop (recommend by Sharp) told me it would cost $7000 to fix my Sharp Aquoe.
