QUATTRON TV Adds Yellow
Sharp has released a teaser for their new QUATTRON TV with the color yellow that is only as good as the TV that you are watching it on. But the thing we liked best is that during the spot there was a disclaimer that an actor was an "expert." Yeah. Who doesn't know who George Takei is? Then again, maybe they were in on the joke.
