A New Sense of Optimism in CE
By Chris Loncto, Sharp
What a difference a year makes.
Last year at this time, we were all anxious about the economy, coming off a disappointing holiday season. You could sense the fear on the show floor, and in the following months, a lot of our fears came true.
But this year, I'm sensing optimism for the future, and people have a sense of determination as they walk the show floor. New technologies unveiled here at CES 2010 are getting people excited again.
That's certainly the way we're feeling at Sharp. Rebounding from a tough 2009, we just announced some of our most exciting TV's ever.
The new series incorporate a unique technology known as QuadPixel. Our wizards back in Japan managed to add a yellow subpixel (Y) to the old standard Red, Green and Blue (RGB). What does this mean? We'll our TV's can now display a trillion colors, up from a billion with the old technology.
The picture quality difference is astounding, You really have to see it, to see it. So if you're at CES, stop on by the booth. If not, our gorgeous new AQUOS LE Series will start hitting store shelves in April.
Of course, 3D technology is creating by far the most buzz. The technology is definitely here, but I'm just can't see a family sitting around the flat screen wearing those goofy glasses all the time. I could be wrong, and I guess only time will tell. In any case, we're showing 3D TV at our booth, so Sharp is in the game the technology takes off.
NBC is doing another great job here, too. They're really ahead of the curve in terms of how they cover an event like this. Can't wait to see what they've dreamed up for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Go USA Hockey!
Thanks to NBC, Gia Pace and Jon Accarrino for taking care of me and my Sharp colleagues in the blogger lounge!!!
