The company touted the Aquos 4K, Aquos Q, and what Sharp President John Herrington called a "game changer" TV, the Aquos Quattron Plus, which has 10 million more subpixels than full HD. Sharp will release these TVs in a matter of weeks.

The Quattron Plus is meant to be a stopgap between 1,080p and 4K HDTVs at about half the price of 4k models, according to Sharp. The company said the Plus is the highest resolution full-HD TV available and is the only TV that can play 4K content and has a built-in upscaler designed to make everything you watch sharper.

Toshi Osawa, CEO of Sharp, said at the Consumer Electronics Show 2014 that the new line will once again be top sellers among the world's largest HDTVs.
"Sharp has put more 60-inch or larger televisions in American homes than any other manufacturer," Osawa said.
