We've seen a lot of HDTV deals. However, we haven't seen a lot of Sharp HDTV deals. That's what makes today's Amazon Gold Box Deal so special. Well, it's not just that Amazon is discounting a Sharp HDTV, but they are discounting one of the manufacturer's AQUOS Quattron HDTVs.
The hook on this HDTV is that Quattron quad-pixel technology. This is a Sharp exclusive, which actually adds a fourth color (yellow!) to the traditional RGB pixel format. So in addition to the full 1080p HD image, this TV promises better, brighter, and more realistic images, thanks to about a trillion of your favorite colors.
Another thing we like about this TV is the price. For today only, Amazon is offering Sharp's 40-inch LC40LE830U 1080p LED HDTV for just $649.99 [update: Amazon lowered it even further to $599.99 later in the day]. This is 45 percent off the regular $1099.99 list price, which makes it a very nice deal. Also, the retailer is throwing in free Super Saver Shipping on this item. Check out Amazon's Gold Box Deal page for more info on this one-day offer:
Other features on this 40-incher include edge-lit LED X-Gen LCD panels, Sharp's own 120Hz Fine Motion Enhanced motion processing, four HDMI inputs, AQUOS Link, and the USB Viewer for adding in your own photos, music and digital video.
Another nice perk is that this set has built-in Wi-Fi, making it very easy to access all of the included connected TV services. A few of those options include VUDU, Netflix, CinemaNow, and AQUOS Advantage Live, which provides customer service right through that big screen. Find out more about this set on Amazon's product page
Our own Greg Robinson got to check out one of the Quattron HDTVs last year. He had a few criticisms, but said that the set had a "bright and punchy color palette." Check out his Sharp LC-40LE810UN Quattron LED HDTV Review, but don't get confused. His review is on last year's model. This deal is on the brand new LC40LE830U, which made its debut in March 2011.
If you want to jump on this newer option, you'd better do it quick! Since this is Amazon's Gold Box Deal, the discount is only good for today (Sunday, August 21, 2011), or whenever the retailer runs out of stock. Just make sure to order directly from Amazon, and not one of the company's third-party merchants to get that discount.
