Sharp AQUOS Yellow Quad Pixel.mov

[Youngthug562]

Got the 46" Sharp Aquos led tv ...very amazing picture n sound

[membland]

This guys an idiot

[MultiJiles]

Does sharp still make Aquos without quad pixel? Cuz I paid a fortune for my 40 inch, I see alot of tv's on you tube and it doesn't say quattron on them anywhere. Jus wondering what an average price is? I think I got soaked lol

[datzfast]

i saw a sharp quad color tv today. is the most awesome fucking thing ever. i think god i waited to see it . i would have kicked my ass for buying anything less.

[jprak712]

BEST TV I OWN..ITS AMAZIN HOW MUCH DETAILS YOU SEE WHEN WATCHIN BLURAY MOVIES.

[alabaska182]

This is false advertising... here's a video this guy magnifies into the screen. watch?v=zKT5sJwk1CY&feature=fe­edu

[rubikman12]

This is not anything new. You need Red Blue and Yellow. However Green is Blue plus yellow. So you already have yellow. anyone remember the prism experiment from kindergarten? T

[dindonrosales]

@rubikman12 really to the human eye the primary colors are red, blue and green, yellow is not one. magenta, cyan and yellow are the primary colors of the paint.

[bestamerica]

how come this sharp do not have 4 colors in my pager sidekick LX

[1Justeel]

Love this tv got it today. Got the 60" LED one

[lexyota]

@1Justeel how much didja pay for it?

[Dj2slick1]

got this tv about 2 monts ago love it love the way the colour shows up keep it up sharp

[a930601ndy]

im getting mine tomorrow. Cant wait. ;)

[Edwuadu]

dude looks freakin nice..when im old enough and i have my own house first things im gonna buy are huge -ass screens >.<

[MrParanoico]

so what i have to watch sunflowers all the time to take advantage of the quad tech?

[swagonmars09]

I have the 60in Sharp Aquos lcd led tv.....brillant colors!!! Great for hardcore Sunday Football!!

[xSpoz]

Just turn the contrast on your tv up..

[italreborn]

i still dont see how this looks any better than a rgb tv, i guess you really do have to see it to see it.

[charliecobham]

looks amazing but tbh a bit too vibrant

[m50mm]

now we can see yellow card in English premier league. brazil clothing maybe sure hit

[visionfoxtrot]

can you turn off the blue piramid on the screen ?

[MultiJiles]

Too bad 3D is masking this great technology breakthrough. Oh well i bought one of these and not 3D. Next year every tv will have yellow in it

[vantageIIx]

@MultiJiles 3D seems more like a fad than anything until we can stop wearing those damned glasses (although the Nintendo 3DS could help change this), but I saw one of these in Best Buy and the PQ was AMAZING.

[bhanwar04]

Sharp is a very good TV brand. I bought a 20'' CRT TV 15 years ago and it is still serving us fine.

[vantageIIx]

@bhanwar04 I agree, Sharp is definitely the most reliable TV brand I have ever used. My family has 10 Sharps in use in our house right now, with a few in storage, and a few given to our relatives (we buy a lot of TVs) and never had one fail on us. We tried a Toshiba once, dead in a month. :p

[micasadigital]

goo to wikipedia  CIE_1931_color_space

the tecnology is really,,,,,

[cactuskid007]

sharp are rubbish

[MegaMaster456]

@cactuskid007 ,rubbish for dumb bastards who have a Samsung TV.I have a Quattron and its PERFECT!!

[master9716]

Doesnt adding a pixle mean that there is going to have less sharp picture since theres going to be less pixels of red green blue on the screenn compared to old screens. Or did they Increase the DOT PITCH of the screen?

[krisachar]

Nice video !

[69LuCkYChArmZ69]

0:40-0:50 It looks like shit cause the camera can't create those colors(I think) LoL....idk

[Belson20]

Scientists estimate that an average human eye can perceive about 10 million colors.

Why the hell would we need our tvs to display "trillion"(yeah right :|) colors then?!

It's like the "I got a 1080p set so from now on every crappy broadcast will be magically displayed as if it was coming out of a blu-ray disc" make-believe all over again.

[IMattNovakI]

Its kinda pointless cuz everything is encoded in RGB, so its still getting the same 3 value rut. Mind you im sure its more vivid or whatnot, but OLED would still rape its quality in terms of color. This is just kinda gimick, kinda find it useless. Seen them in real life and im not really impressed. OLED blows it out of the water but a OLED TV that large is costly.

[hyylo]

@IMattNovakI

what about laser TV by Toshiba?

[OtomoTenzi]

Those demos sure look good tho, but how will it perform in person or at your home with regular TV programs airing on it?

[brandontwb]

I really don't get this. RBG covers all of the colours. First of all, why is a pixel a mixture of two colors? Why don't they have cyan or magenta sub pixel?

[vinishdo]

My dog tells me it makes no difference how many bloody pixels or what subpixel of rgbqmil whatever, because he still just sees black/white.

I'm half-joking here. Anybody hear about the new theory that the colours are not actually on the object, but because that's what our brains tell us we see? Which would explain why dogs see only b/w, or some human animals are colour "blind".

This open a whole new world of philosophy, hunh? What if everything is actually gray.

[RoneciDesade]

@vinishdo actually no, that doesn't take account of the color spectrum. I think you're misapprehending the situation.

[Isanion]

great tech i'm sure (not like i can actually see it tho :S)

but that guy really needs training in presentation technique.

[DJDrumrolls]

I Got Mine and thought it would be just a normal TV. but i was WRONG...

[127646z]

Next one to post ruins the video.

[nylecrane2k7]

Why edge lit? They should have made full LED backlit.

[shinhyesung11]

I read that this technology causes a loss in resolution and picture clarity/quality. Anybody know anything about that?

[Isanion]

@shinhyesung11 I don't "know" anything, but I can reason some of it out:

since they're including a 4th sub-pixel each pixel requires 33% more space than normal. Therefore less pixels can fit into the same space, ergo reduced resolution.

[onlyfornintendo]

@Isanion yes but you don't know the size of that pixel!!

maybe it's smaller than a regular rgb tv

[Isanion]

@onlyfornintendo

perfectly true, but if they can make the pixels smaller then other TVs made with those smaller pixels that don't have the 4th one will still be able to get more in. The size of the pixel is an external factor.

[alexmini123]

at 0:37 i could se a huge difference

that is awesome

nice and juicy collor is how i nlike it

[kingstoncousins]

The Best Buy Avatar picture I saw was so detailed it was distracting. The best way to describe it would be -- have you ever watched the "extras" on a DVD where they show a scene shot on film (for the movie) and a second view of the scene through a TV camera (just for the DVD extra material?). Notice how the TV picture looks "real"? The display's rendition of Avatar looked like I was watching LIVE TV. The characters in close ups looked as real and detailed as the guy standing next to me.

[brandontwb]

@kingstoncousins that's called 60 frames per second, genius. What you were probably looking at was a TV that processes the image and adds in frames where it can to make it sometimes look like 60FPS.

[hyylo]

how does it compare against an OLED screen?

[shinhyesung11]

Although my monitor does not have quad pixel technology, I can see a big difference at 0:37. I would like to see what color setting and what television is being compared here (cause I hate demonstrations that do not give accurate comparisons).

I would like to see this in person, because on my monitor is just looks over saturated. I also wonder if this technology is incorporated into the television without any drawbacks to black levels or contrast ratio, and response times.

[bluejayy100]

@shinhyesung11 we just got this tv today it looks pretty cool

[safarimandude23]

What's the difference in the series?

[readynow12345]

What about the source, its coming from tv stations cable etc, are they incorporating this new color in there broadcast if not whats the point ????

[Evster96]

@readynow12345 The TV stations do not have to incorporate the new color. I comes just from the TV. I am not sure how it works though

[readynow12345]

I saw one of these tv 's at best buy I was very impressed with the quality it actually blew everything else away it was extremely bright.

[Thrillcekr]

@readynow12345 My sentiments exactly. Best Buy must be really proud of these because they had a huge one up at the entrance of the store that they used to show Avatar when it was released on disc. As you said, it really stood out. I've never been a big Sharp fan but these are fantastic tv's.

[readynow12345]

I can remember when they first came out with that 65 inch lcd, it was aweful for displaying any fast motion or even moderately fast it was a real joke.

[Deanzsyclone]

Edge lit, LOL..

[13vafanculo]

affinity with sharp rocks

[Crp75]

A yellow channel sounds nice in theory, but how does it fit in with the color decoder? Which begs the question, What does this mean for color accuracy? A larger gamut maybe. Then it's all for naught if it skews from the standards that are currently in place (SMPTE-C or ITU-Rec 709). Just like xvYCC, this is more about marketing and TV sales.

[RepresentingDesi]

no point

[grogtgs]

I just tried 3D TV today at the store. I liked it but I wouldn't watch it 7 days a week (with those glasses). I need to see this sharp and see if it really looks better

[aydx0001]

Two ways to make color: addition and subtraction. TV's make yellow by subtraction...recall yellow is a component of green the requisite wavelengths of light are there. A yellow subpixel allows pure yellow to be produced using one subpixel, rather than two, thus using less energy. How well it works will come down to processing and how well Sharp implements it.

[aydx0001]

OOPS! RGB is addition...Red, yellow, blue is subtraction. rgbworld . com/color . php (subtrat spaces around dots to cut-n-paste the link. Great tutorial on this topic!

[erix43]

This guy is a moron that is speaking.. LOL, you can't understand him at times. Why this fucking moron for this presentation. He's probably from Orlando, FL.. lol

[detryru]

i want back lit

[bymoonbeam]

I love the George Takei Ad!! It made me look this up :D

[DarthGiorgio]

yeah I wasn't paying attention to anything he said...i was just waiting for him to trail off and screw up his speech again

[DJPROCK]

i have a samsung LED tv and it looks batter then this bullshit yellow pixel they just want to people to think its better but its not

[HottBoi90210]

why not 240hz?

[leemailme]

I call bullshit on this. Sharp is lying. Two reasons:

A) They are ignoring colour theory. RGB is all you need. Go ahead and look at the "subscribe" button. Yellow enough? I thought so.

B) It's not like the TV signal is sending out a "yellow" channel, so any yellow information they are getting is from the red and green channel.

This is a gimmick.

[AdeonWriter]

@leemailme The human eye works on two axis: Red-Green and Yellow-Blue. Also, RGB is not all you need - Even RGBY can't display colors with longer wavelengths than Blue. No indigos, no violets. Only magentas that loop back to red.

[AdeonWriter]

@Dirtfire Oy. I'm always getting wavelength and frequency confused. But yes, my point was TV's can't show indigos and violates. Really, blue sup-pixels should be removed and replaced with violate ones.

[maxx0001]

I want one of these tv's! Awesome idea, yellow LED pixel!

[pizzano312]

awsome idea for LCD... but the futer for tv's are all in AMOLED technollgy. AMOLEDS are expensive though, and this will give mid-range tvs a good boost in picture quality for the money.

[savagesteve13]

There's no way to show quad pixel technology over the internet unless your monitor is quad pixel too, sigh.

[lxndr33]

@savagesteve13 you have to see it to see it

[drozle]

@savagesteve13 that sir,is a mindfu*k :)

[sHaRpLeDtV]

@savagesteve13

Yeah, you just got to see it with your own eyes to really appreciate it.

[root66tube]

Why would you get someone with a speech impediment to be your spokesperson? No offense to people with speech impediments.

[Masterdantexxl]

Dont buy led its to expensive!!! Who cares about the width of a tv if it is 2 or 10cm??!!

[greenscreeningthings]

@Masterdantexxl LED generally isn't what's making it so thin. LED is just a type on backlight. It is more easily put into a thiner TV though. LED lighting is brighter and produces more vivid colors and better blacks. I personally prefer TVs with LED lights instead of regular. My new computer came with an LED backlight and i love it! it is great for watching movies and videos online.

[flarbton]

look pretty good, but i'd have to see it in person.

lol at all the fucking morons talking as if they can poop out this tv tech in their nightly stools. fuck off. Go get high off licking some stamps from your mental prisons.

[trollmeplox]

@NoVaSpY i dont give 2 shits about this piece of shit tv. my tv works perfectly fine. i was fucking trolling. so please, keep feeding me dumbshit.

[knightflyte]

Wait untill the verticle band issue rears it's head, and Sharp shrugs their shoulders in denial.

Won't EVER buy another Sharp product again.

[trollmeplox]

i love how kids on youtube think theyre smarter than the people that create these new innovations

[CoolConejo]

@trollmeplox In comparison of knowledge available now to knowledge that was available at the same age. Its quite a large gap. By the time these kids reach the age of the engineers of these products; their knowledge will have surpassed those of current time. so in comparison you could say they know more. But This knowledge would have not bee possible for those that developed it in the previous generation. I'm 20, but i bet you when im 60 my grandkids wont believe we had computers in my years.

[lassek85]

lasertv got 100% colours?

[MrTubeType]

@NoVaSpY I agree. The yellow is being approximated at the receiver via post-processing . As I mentioned in my original post, " ... the receiver must be generating the yellow channel from the transmitted red and green information."

[Thor17]

Wish he would talk to me instead of to the invisible person to my right.

[GaijinTenshi]

@Thor17 I was about to ask: "Who the fuck are you talking to man? I'm Over Here!"

[histrion2]

I don't know if any Sharp Electronics people are here to answer this, but: while I can sort of understand how having the extra pixel might improve the gamut, what I don't get is how the TV can ever know when to use the yellow pixels. Do any of the standard inputs or data sources have yellow encoded somehow?

[helio2]

Its real simple you see, when the signal calls for both the red and green pixel to illuminate at the same frequency they instead re route the signal to the Y pixel. It works for every single intensity level in between as well.

[KakimotoRift]

who is going to tell the difference if Sharp never mentioned the additional Y subpixel or the Quad Pixel Technology. human eyevision is alot more sensitive towards Contrast Ratio.

[YarGnawh]

this guy has a serious speech impediment

[MrTubeType]

It's a gimmick. If the source isn't transmitting a discrete yellow channel, along with the RGB channels, the receiver must be generating the yellow channel from the transmitted red and green information. Also, if you add a fourth, yellow, color to the current RGB scheme, you must reduce the number of RGB pixels to make room for the yellow. It may "LOOK" better, but the overall picture has suffered a loss. "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."

[vacationboyvideos]

edge lite sucks! it makes is supper thing, BIG DEAL, contrast ratio sucks, backlite is bettter

[jorge242]

I'm very skeptical about this yellow sub-pixel thing. In color theory, yellow is a combination of RED and GREEN. So how can you get a higher gamut by adding yellow?

[beatsiz]

@jorge242: Red + Green = Brown...

You've missed out on Art classes haven't you?

[jorge242]

@beatsiz OK smart-ass, then how does your TV produce yellow with red, green and blue?

[beatsiz]

@jorge242: You do get Yellow using Red + Green... However, It's Color Addition by having one pixel being brighter than the neighboring ones... It's complicated to explain and understand.

Anyhow, with a fourth subpixel, you will get much more color boost.

[kalashnikova06]

you're pretty dumb, with light absorbing medium, the primary colors are CMY, and if you combine them you get black, it works in reverse with RGB and light emitting medium

[MrH4loFighter]

@beatsiz

there are morons on this planet, geez!

there's a difference between LIGHT colour and mixed colour with paint!

both of you are right, but ot the same way

[HoneycombAgent]

In the CMYK color space, red and yellow make orange.

[WetheSheepleUSA]

@jorge242

No, Yellow is not a combination of RED and GREEN. Yellow is a primary color. No colors are used to make yellow.

[Dirtfire]

@jorge242 there are many shades of yellow, green, blue, etc. Adding this pure yellow to a shade of red+green will give you a color that couldn't be produced otherwise. Same when mixing it with every other color. The combinations are basically limitless now.

[ToxicFrog]

I really hope that the TVs they use to compare against don't have their color settings fuked with. I would totally check and if they did, I would just push their TVs over.

[MysticTrunksHQ]

I just got the new 60' aquos.. It's gonna arrive in a few hrs.

I'm upgrading from a 46' which I thought was big until I saw this(I've seen 80' plasmas, I know big tvs) to a 60' monster.

It's an early 2010 model so I'm gonna say YAY! I upgrade my TV each year, not only is it cheaper in the long run but costs way less.. of course I can do this for so long. My credit well to put it to dollars is around $50,000. So no tv is too expensive. But for a college kid + work it's still expensive.

[ToxicFrog]

The creditors must love you..monkey

[88hammond88]

@MysticTrunksHQ You should use that credit to buy some friends that you can brag to.

P.S. Kill Yourself

[CTyler7]

@MysticTrunksHQ You should really throw out your TV as soon as it gets any dust on it or after each commercial; whichever comes first.

I was surprised you only went for 60'' and not the 90" model, are you doing ok financially?

[aguyin734]

@MysticTrunksHQ I'm fairly sure that any 60 foot TV isn't available through the normal retailers, and you'd probably need a building permit to install it.

I'm just mentally running down buying a new TV every year, versus... uh... NOT buying a new TV every year. In what way is it "cheaper", let alone "cost[ing] way less"? I guess I'm just not privy to the great understandings of the yellow pixel crowd.

[readynow12345]

what do you do with the other tv sell it on ebay for penny's on the dollars, I have a 52inch & would love to upgrade to a larger but what would I do with the 52inch sell it & make nothing after paying over $2000 of course this was over 2 yrs ago.

[Evster96]

@readynow12345

On ebay, from an experienced TV Seller, it would go for about $1000.

[readynow12345]

I was being cynical

[malabarspyder]

I have the 52ni LED. EVERY friend who has seen it says its the brightest, most vivid TV picture they ever saw.

Sharp just leapfrogged the competition

[vacationboyvideos]

@malabarspyder disagree, we will see who comes out, prob samsung and sony...does sharp have 240hrtz? does it have 3d? and they was so behind on 120 hrtz adding to there tv, plus edge lite is shit! contrast ratio is better with backlite

[635574]

bigest bullshit ever. Not only Sharp was never hi-end, they have to compensate for the bullshit they just commited with recalculation from RGB, which is not gonna provide any more color data than for other TVs.

[comedy2008]

i have the 42 inch aquos and i would love to have that tv

[candywrapp]

@comedy2008 you may take that back because its doesn't have local dimming its edge lit which is total bullshit for a great concept

[vacationboyvideos]

@candywrapp i agree with u edge lite makes it nice and thin and gives u a shitty contrast ratio, i rather have a fat tv and not be so thing with a back lie and have a better contrast ratio. plus where is the 3d tv? and i did not heare him say 240hrz refresh rate niether!
