Sharp Middle East FZE, part of Sharp Corporation, brings the world’s largest commercially available television, the 90-inch AQUOS LED to the South African market. The much anticipated product, Sharp’s 90-inch wall of entertainment is a breath-taking marvel of technology, which weighs a mere 64kg, and roughly measures 2m in width, and 1,2m in height with a diagonal screen size of more than 2,2m (90-inches).
The 90-inch AQUOS LED TV will be available through Sharp’s official distribution network across South Africa.
Sharp, a leader in the large-size TV segment, has taken the regional market by storm and has reached a market share of more than 60 percent for the 60-inches and above TV segment.
“With thousands of televisions sold across the region, and a very strong appetite amongst South African customers for modern technology, we believe the 90-inch AQUOS LED TV completes our product offering in South Africa, now ranging from 60-inch to 90-inch TVs,” says Tsuneyoshi Miyake, DGM Consumer Electronics Division at Sharp Middle East FZE.
As the innovator of LCD technology, which is the basis of modern day LCD and LED TVs, Sharp’s unique proposition is leading the demand in the region for the large-screen TV segment.
“What differentiates us from our competition is our lead and superiority in LED/LCD technology, which together with our brand values, help us offer consumers state-of-the-art products priced to meet their aspirations,” explains Rohit Khot, DGM Sales at Sharp’s Consumer Electronics Division at Sharp Middle East FZE.
