Description:

With Sharp's LC-15L1U-S 15-inch AQUOS TV, you get remarkable flat-panel TV viewing, no strings attached. Billed as "the first battery-operated LCD television in the U.S.," it's a truly digital wireless TV built with a carrying handle so you can move it easily for both hassle-free indoor viewing in various rooms and outdoor viewing under most dry conditions. Under ideal circumstances (see note below), the set offers crystal-clear TV, video, and DVD enjoyment virtually anywhere in and around the home without attached wires or cables of any kind.

The LC-15L1U-S features a sleek, silver design created by the world-class industrial designer Toshiyuki Kita, who created the high-style look of Sharp's entire AQUOS line and whose artwork resides in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Its sculpted, rounded stereo side speakers and built-in easel stand make it simple to transport the lightweight TV from room to room. A built-in, rechargeable high-capacity lithium-ion battery provides approximately three hours of viewing time, allowing plenty of time to enjoy an entire movie, either indoors or outdoors.

The set uses Sharp's SmartLink wireless digital audio/video transmission system, which operates on the 802.11b wireless standard. Just connect the included transmitter to a video source, such as a DVD player, then sit back to watch your favorite movie or TV show in any room of the house. The system transmits digital wireless signals using the 2.4 GHz band high-speed spectrum wireless protocols.

The LC-15L1U-S has an Advanced Super View (ASV) panel with Sharp's proprietary Black TFT low-reflection coating so it can be placed anywhere--even near windows, doors, or other light sources--without sacrificing picture quality. The unit also offers 170-degree viewing angles so viewers get a clear picture from anywhere in the room, and its high contrast ratio (500:1) and high brightness (430 cd/m2) ensure clear, vivid pictures with deep blacks and exceptional color clarity.

The TV measures less than 3 inches deep without its table stand. A special image-inverting feature even lets you flip the image upside-down or mirror it for hanging in an unconventional manner. Together with its wireless A/V center, the set features multiple composite-video and S-video inputs for your DVD player, VCR, or gaming console, an RF antenna input for older VCRs and cable boxes, as well as a cable-ready, built-in 125-channel tuner. An electronic PLL tuner handles over-air reception of TV programming.
