![]() The product: For 2005, Sharp is giving a slight makeover to its bread-and-butter LCD TV lines, the D5U and D7U, each of which come in 37-, 32-, and 26-inch sizes (LC-37D7U/D5U, LC-32D7U/D5U, and LC-26D7U/D5U). The D5U series has a titanium finish with detachable bottom speakers, while the D7U comes in a silver finish with fixed side speakers. In other respects, the two lines are the same: they have 1,366x768 resolution for 720p HDTV compatibility and the latest connectivity options.
The prospects: Sharp did very well with last year's midsize LCD TVs, and if these come down in price, we expect them to be among the top-selling LCD panels in 2005--especially the 26- and 32-inch models. By David Carnoy, executive editor, CNET Reviews CES DEBUTS BY BRAND
