Sharp today followed up its reveal of ultra high-definition HDTV models at CES with the announcement of the world’s first THX-certified 4K HDTV.
The upcoming Aquos LC-70UD1U is a 70-inch, LED-backlit HDTV with 4K resolution and THX’s 4K HDTV certification that will hit stores in August.
THX certification is the process of a third party, THX, evaluating the fidelity of an audio or video product and determining whether it reaches a certain level of standards. THX has been certifying HDTVs since 2006, but has only just begun certifying 4K HDTVs, with the LC-70UD1U the first model certified and planned to reach the market.
The LC-70UD1U has 4K (3,840-by-2,160) resolution, built-in Wi-Fi with LG’s Smart Central apps library, a Flash-enabled Web browser, and support for Sharp’s Remote Control and Beam apps to control and stream media through your smartphone or tablet.
