Sharp to introduce HDTV with internet
Consumer electronics firm Sharp has announced that it is introducing a high definition (HD) television set that allows viewers to watch broadcasts via the internet.
Yet again Japanese customers will be the first to enjoy the “Internet AQUOS”.
There will be four models to choose from, with choices of a 32 or 37-inch LCD screen and the option of a HD video recording PC or a terrestrial analogue recording version.
Viewers will be able to switch between television and broadband broadcasts with what promises to be an easy-to-use controller.
The company says that it is the first time that it has combined the functions of a personal computer with one of its LCD televisions.
Consumers will be able to view the related websites of the shows being viewed as well as make related purchases.
With a huge 500GB hard drive, the new products feature plenty of room for digital photos, music and broadcast recordings.
They should be on Japanese shelves by the end of next month.track
