I'm going to use one of the currently best selling ones on amazon as an example – LC-60LE650 (click to see on amazon)
LC is the type of flat panel (LC: Liquid Crystal Display) Currently all Sharp TV’s fall into this category but I would presume that someday soon we will start seeing another prefix for OLED technology.
60 is the screen size. Sizes vary by series (4 Series: 32” and 50”; 5 Series: 40”,60”,70”; 6 Series: 50”,60”,70”,80”,90”; 7 Series:60”,70”,80”; 8 Series:60”,70”,80”; UHD Series:70”) Yes you did see a 90 in there. It’s Sharp’s new "obnoxious" category. Check out the Sharp LC-90LE657 90-inch 1080p 120Hz Smart LED 3D HDTV and start saving your pennies.
LE is the lighting technology (LE: LED, SV:LCD) I don’t believe Sharp sells any SV TV’s anymore so I’m including it more for reference to older models.
650 is the series. As I mentioned before there is a 4,5,6,7,8, and a UHD Series. I will simplify the features available on each below.
