Sharp TV: New LV Series of 3D TVs May Set Quality Bar

The two big issues holding back the 3D TVs currently on the market are crosstalk (image ghosting between the two images that comprise a 3d image) and the blocky, somewhat ridiculous 3D glasses you need to use to see the 3D.  Sharp might just have the solution to both of those problems with it’s new LV line of 3D televisions.

The LV line will boast a 40”, a 46”, a 53”, and a 60” LCD screen machines when they launch later in July in Japan.  These TVs will be capable of broadcasting in full 1080p and feature some of Sharp’s most valuable little tidbits of tech including UV2A panels and Quattron quad-pixel technology.

However, one off the coolest innovations is something Sharp is calling FRED.  Apparently its some sort of secretive high-speed signaling technology that will severely diminish—if not eliminate cross talk.  If they can truly do that, Sharp may just have the 3D TV buyers eating out of their hands.

In addition, the Sharp sets will ship with AN-3DG10 glasses which allow users to view the content in either 3D or traditional 2D.  That’s right, the TV and the glasses are bundled together—why aren’t more TV manufacturers doing this?

You’re not going to be able to get these beasts for cheap, though.  Speculation on the pricing has the smaller screens starting at $3,000 and the big daddy tops out at $6,500.  So save your pennies.
