Sharp Unveils LED-Backlit HDTVs, the LE600 and LE700
These new Sharp HDTVs sport the AQUOS Colour Engine which will deliver Full HD 1080p, thanks to its new X-Gen Panel. All of these models will have: 10W speakers, four HDMI 1.3 ports, and a USB port. Speaking about eco-friendliness, these TVs will use only 0.01W of power in standby mode and will consume 40% less power than traditional LCDs. The LE700 series will have a 100Hz frame rate and a 4ms response time. As you can see, not much is known about these TV sets yet.
The cheapest TV - the 32-inch LE600 - will cost £750 ($1,233 USD), so expect to pay a lot more money, especially for the 52-inch LE700. All of these TVs should be available in a couple of days, but the prices haven't been completely outlined yet.

LED backlighting brings improvements in the picture quality compared to standard lcd tv's, producing deeper blacks and sharper contrast as well as the environmental benefits. Its good to see them taking energy consumption seriously, but its a shame sharp aren't including local dimming technology in these models.

That's true, but hopefully - for Sharp - this is the start of doing just that. Hopefully, they'll continue to release TVs with local dimming. It's a start.
