Our TV loving friends from Japan will surely not run out of LCD TV choices thanks to Sharp, who has just unveiled not just one but twenty-two new LCD’s in their RX5, GX5 and DS5 series.

The RX5 series will be available in 65, 52 and 46-inches. These LCD’s tout a total contrast ratio of 20000:1 and 450cd/m2 brightness. They will come in full HD glory with 120GHz panel and 12bit BDE image processor. LCD’s falling under Sharp’s GX5 series will have full HD and HD ready panels with sizes ranging from 26-inches up to 52-inches, a 120Hz ASV panel and contrast ratio of 2000:1 with 450cd/m2 brightness. And finally we have the DS5 series which will come in three full HD models with 32-inch up to 42-inch sizes. These LCD’s will come with 2000:1 contrast ratio and a brightness of 450cd/m2, however the 120Mhz ASV panel will not be included in this series feature lineup.

And now for the biggest news of all? These Sharp LCD’s will be preloaded with a tuned Yahoo! page to give you quick access to Yahoo! right in your spanking new Sharp LCD. This is courtesy of Sharp and Yahoo! Japan’s partnership. Pricing information, release date and details of whether these LCD’s will be shipped internationally are not yet available.
