TrustedReviews NewslettersNot too long after the launch of its impressive LC-52XS1E RGB LED TV, Sharp has yet more LED-backlit TVs in the offering - the LE600 and LE700 series. While both have 'mere' white LEDs, a step down from the full RGB LED lighting of the XS1 series they also come in with a much more manageable £750 starting price.

The LE600 series comprises 32in (pictured), 40in and 46in panel sizes with the LE700 series adding a 52in panel to the mix. All feature 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolutions and use LED-backlights. Both the LE600 and LE70 series claim 4,000:1 contrast ratios which seems pretty conservative compared to the likes of the Samsung 8500 series and it's claimed 7,000,000:1 contrast ratio - but I'm not convinced such figures are particularly worth paying much attention too anyway.
Of more note are the use of Sharp's "X-Gen Panel" with its proprietary "Mega Contrast" and "Brilliant colour Processor" technology. Combined these purport to deliver deep blacks and vivid - but accurate - colours.
The LE700-series' improvements over the LE600 series comes primarily from 100Hz processing and panels boasting 4ms instead of 6ms response times. Further, the LE700 series has an extra HDMI port - four verses the LE600 series' three to be specific. And last of all there's a USB port on the LE700 series, enabling playback of MP3 and JPEG files.
The LE600 and LE700 series are available as of this month from the usual (r)etailer suspects.

The 50hz signal is derrived from the Pal video format used in the UK, rather than the AC frequency you refer to. Pal displays 25 frames / second interlaced, which results in 50Hz,... more

Incorrect. The reason the UK (and Europe) use a 50hz picture (and the US 60hz) was indeed originally down to the mains frequency. Made the electronics a lot... more

Can I ask a stupid question? Of course I can - this is the internet!
When a TV says it is 100Hz I assume that is to do with UK electricity running at 50Hz, so does t... more
