Although Sharp’s announcement of its 45V-inch LCD Aquos LC-45GD1 TV isn’t news (we’ve known about it for a couple of months, at least), this article on NE Asia Online goes into a surprisingly amount of technical depth (if that’s your thing) about what decisions Sharp made in creating the world’s largest LCD TV. Sharp apparently uses a special signaling technique to raise the effective viewable colors from HD’s standard 8-bit per channel (around 16.77 million colors) to 10-bit (around 1.07 billion colors), making some of the odd banding effects of digital signal less noticeable. Oddly enough, as nice as I am to Sharp, they continue to ignore my requests for a long-term review sample of the $9,000 unit. Come on, guys, think of how much more resonant my blogging would be if my words were the size of cars.
