3D Technology Checklist
This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use the checklist below to ensure you have everything you need. 3D viewing requires:
 |
A Display
First, you’ll need a 3D-ready display–whether it’s a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession. |
 |
A Source
Your display may be ready for 3D playback, but you’ll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system. |
 |
3D Content
3D content–the actual entertainment, in other words–will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it’s a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game. |
 |
3D Glasses
For now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered “active shutter” glasses, others polarized “passive” glasses. You’ll need one pair per viewer, and they’ll have to be compatible with your display, whether they’re the same brand, or a pair of “universal” glasses designed to work across brands. |
 |
HDMI Cable
To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you’ll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality. |

Internet-Ready Television
Internet-ready TVs use your broadband connection to deliver dynamic content, whether it’s streaming video from Netflix, new music from Pandora, or a quick glance at today’s weather forecast.
Although there is overlap, each manufacturer offers a unique bundle of free or paid services, including streaming video and music, social networking apps, online photo galleries, news and financial updates, weather info, sports scores, and a variety of other smartphone-like applications.
Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision.
Learn more about Internet TVs, how they work, what services are offered by different manufacturers, and exactly what you’ll need to get started at our Internet TV 101 customer center.

With the LE835 series, Sharp applies its Quattron technology to the 3D HDTV, producing brilliant 3D images with reduced crosstalk blur. Immerse yourself in the latest 3D title, complete with spacious sound to complete the experience. And whether you’re enjoying 2D or 3D content, you’ll benefit from Sharp technologies like the proprietary AQUOS LED backlighting system and X-Gen LCD panel, which uses an enhanced Active Contrast algorithm to deliver a dynamic contrast ratio of 8,000,000:1. Translation? Serious picture quality. This series also incorporates Sharp’s AquoMotion 240 feature, which virtually eliminates perceptible blur and motion artifacts in fast-moving video. The LE835 Series also boasts Internet connectivity, including Vudu apps, Netflix streaming video, CinemaNow, Blockbuster On Demand, Alphaline Entertainment, and Napster. Built-in Wi-Fi makes connecting a breeze. This also makes for easy access to AQUOS Advantage Live, the industry’s leading online support system, to help ensure you get the most out of your new television.
3D Experience, Now Featuring Quattron Technology
The AQUOS Quattron 3D system produces the brightest 3D image resolution on the market today, significantly reduced 3D “crosstalk blur” and a dynamic contrast ratio of 8,000,000:1. The Quattron LE835 Series 3DTVs employ Sharp’s quad pixel technology, the X-Gen LCD Panel, Frame Rate Enhanced Driving and LED backlight side-mount scanning with a newly enhanced Active Contrast algorithm, to deliver a superior 3D experience. The optional pairs of advanced 3D glasses offer a versatile 3D-to-2D mode conversion allowing one person to watch in 2D while others are watching in 3D. In addition, Sharp’s three Spacious 3D Sound modes complete the immersive experience when viewing movies, concerts or any 3D programming.
Quattron Quad Pixel Technology
Quattron LED LCD TVs feature advanced technologies enabling picture quality that has been difficult or impossible to reproduce using conventional LCD displays. When combined with Sharp’s 1080p X-Gen LCD panel, the displays offer dramatic reduction in energy consumption compared with conventional CCFL LCD TVs. These technologies work in tandem to optimize picture quality and contrast ratios while reducing energy use.
Quattron LED LCD TVs employ a four-color filter, adding the color Y (yellow) to the three colors of R (red), G (green) and B (blue). Quad Pixel technology produces this groundbreaking combination expanding the color gamut and faithfully rendering nearly all colors that can be discerned while introducing never-before-seen colors to LCD TVs, like sparkling golds, Caribbean blues and sunflower yellows.
Sharp’s X-Gen panel provides a wider aperture, allowing more light to pass through, which requires fewer backlighting elements to create an extremely bright image. Also, because the redesigned LCD panel has fewer ribs than traditional panels, the pixels seal more completely, enabling nearly all light to be blocked and resulting in deeper blacks.
AquoMotion 240
AquoMotion 240 Technology improves fast moving images by combining Sharp’s 120Hz Fine Motion Enhanced Technology with 120-backlight scanning. Fine Motion Advanced processing creates and inserts 60 unique frames a second, which smoothes out edges that occur between frames in the original footage. The backlight scanning works with the panel refresh rate to further reduce perceived motion blur and improve overall clarity and picture quality.
X-Gen Panel
Sharp’s X-Gen panel provides a wider aperture allowing more light to pass through, which requires fewer backlighting elements to create an extremely bright image. Also, because the re-designed LCD panel has less ribs than traditional panels, the pixels are better sealed which enables nearly all light to be blocked resulting in darker images.
Mega Contrast
With a full LED backlight, luminance can be controlled with greater precision than with a CCFL backlight because of the differences in intensity control properties. Compared with the modulation rate of a typical CCFL backlight, the ultra-bright LED backlight is capable of modulating down to an incredible rate. Through the combined operation of Sharp’s X-Gen panel, which has a high contrast ratio and Sharp’s ultra-brilliant LED backlight system, AQUOS LE835 Series LCD TVs achieve an ultra-high contrast ratio that delivers unprecedented degrees of black and images that project incredible depth.
VyperDrive
VyperDrive game mode helps to eliminate the lag time between the game console and TV. When Game Mode is activated, the signal is streamlined, resulting in transmission that is five times faster than normal mode. The result is a game experience you’ll never forget.
