All TVs currently on the market can produce billions of colors using their red-green-blue color combination output. You'd think billions would be impressive enough, but Sharp felt there was a hue that was being ignored in the primary color scheme -- yellow.
The consumer electronics company announced at CES last week that it will begin selling LCDs with an added yellow component. What they're calling the QuadPixel can produce a trillion colors!
Sharp says that this will allow their 1.6-inch deep flat screens to produce, "more sparkling golds, Caribbean blues and sunflower yellows."
The new Aquos Series will be available later this year, though prices have yet to be released.
So what's more important to you, a truer color scheme or 3-D capabilities?

I don't get how we went this long without yellow. I mean, didn't they teach us in grade/grammar/elementary school that to make any color in the rainbow all you need is Red, Yellow and Blue? How did we decide that we would use green instead? >.>
@ktoth04 red, green, and blue are the additive primaries.
sounds great this :) I Personally don't give a shait about 3d-capabillities. Whenever I go to the cinema I try to avoid the 3d-version at all costs, the 3d-glasses hurt and lock me away from "being with the people" I'm with. More colors to the livingroom on the other hand, I'm all for :) But this will all be a long forgotten fad when Oled arrives I think.. Plasma is still "for the win" in home movie department.
@ktoth04 yeah they taught us that too. Apparently it changed at some point and no one told us.
lolll
Why stop at yellow? May as well go for the other additive secondary colors: magenta and cyan. Maybe they're saving those for future planned obsolescences?
