The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top box, a DVD player, or an A/V receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a Digital TV.1080p HDTV''s deliver more detail, which can enhance the viewing experience for more attentive visual persons, but it takes the right distance from the TV and a fine eye to truly appreciate it. The most important factor is to view the color, how the TV handles black coloring, the contrast, and most importantly, what you will mainly use the TV for before you make a judgment.

It employs a four-colour filter that adds yellow to the three primary colours of red, green and blue

Introducing the ground breaking, 4-Colour Pixel, Super-Slimline LED backlit Quattron LCD TV. Saving up to 40% energy compared with traditional CCFL backlit LCD TVs, it offers a range and depth of colours previously unseen on LCD TVs, thanks to its yellow sub-pixel, which is additional to the traditional Red, Green and Blue pixels of normal LCD TVs.

The Quattron range features a whole new, super slim design incorporating an elegant, thin, metal bezel and, on the 820/821 and 920/921 ranges, a fully flush glass front. Its touch-sensitive controls are integrated into the bottom edge, which features a new look for Sharp: a subtle mirror-effect look with the new Quattron Apex and Sharp logos tastefully illuminated - just enough to highlight the exclusivity of these models, but without distracting from the gorgeous 1080P LED picture quality that features now even deeper blacks and more vibrant, rich and realistic colours. The LC-40LE821E also features Sharp’s Time Shift technology which allows you to pause live TV or record programs if necessary.
