With full HD 1080p resolution, full-array LED backlighting and Quattron Quad Pixel Technology, Sharp’s enormous 70" screen size class (69 ½" diagonal) LED LCD TV creates a viewing experience that cannot be matched. Built-in WiFi delivers convenient network functionality such as video streaming from the Internet and throughout the home, as well as Sharp’s acclaimed AQUOS Advantage Live customer service.

“With our amazing 70-inch screen size class (69 ½" diagonal) LED LCD television, we are redefining the term ‘big screen TV’ and delivering 62% percent more viewing area than a 55-inch model. There’s nothing like it on the market today,” said John Herrington, president, Sharp Electronics Marketing Company of America. “Our production capabilities, which include the industry’s only 10th Generation LCD factory and proprietary technologies give us a tremendous advantage in supplying the market with superior large screen TVs, particularly those of 60-inch screen size class plus screen sizes. It’s one of the reasons why we are a leader in the large screen LCD market.”

Bigger Made Better

Sharp’s proprietary Quad Pixel Technology adds the color Y (yellow) to the 3 colors of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) of the traditional television pixel structure. This technology enables the reproduction of colors that have been impossible to portray using conventional LCD displays, such as the brass color of musical instruments. The addition of the yellow sub-pixel also allows more light to pass through to the panel. Sharp’s advanced pixel control technology minimizes light leakage while offering a wider aperture to let more light through. The combination of these factors results in brighter, more vibrant images. Sharp’s Quad Pixel Plus technology enables the processing of images with higher resolution and less jags in diagonal lines.

The LC-70LE732U offers built-in WiFi and access to on-demand movies through Netflix^®, VUDU and CinemaNow and to the best apps like Facebook^®, Pandora^®, Twitter™, and Flickr^® through VUDU Apps, as well as AQUOS Advantage Live remote online customer service.

Four HDMI™ inputs enable simple single cord connections to multiple HD components, such as Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD players, set top boxes and video game consoles. The LC-70LE732U includes IP Control which enables a PC or Control Panel to control basic TV functions, video and audio equipment, and lighting via the Ethernet terminal or wireless LAN connection using built-in WiFi.

The LC-70LE732U boasts extremely low power consumption and is ENERGY STAR^® qualified, meeting the industry’s highest energy efficiency specification.
