Sharp's 108-inch LCD now yours for $100,000

by Thomas Ricker, posted Jun 13th 2008 at 3:24AM Breaking News


Making good on its promise at CES in January, Sharp just announced the Japanese retail launch of its 108-inch LCD monument to television. The lovable LB-1085 giant features a 108-ASV 1080p panel with a 400 cd/m2 brightness, 1,200:1 contrast, 6-ms response, and 176-degree viewing angle. Around back you'll find 3x HDMI, 1x DVI, 2x component, and a smattering of other in-and-out. It measures 8.4 x 0.66 x 5.1-feet and weighs 430-pounds (195kg) with an ¥11 million (about $100,000) price tag to match that luxurious heft. Now, anybody want a peanut?

Full specs on the Dallas Cowboys world's largest 1080p LED scoreboards

by Richard Lawler, posted Apr 16th 2008 at 10:44AM


It's been far too long since we heard about the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium w/ accompanying gigantic four-sided HD scoreboard (and far too long before the 2009 season when it opens). Mitsubishi apparently thinks its the one to drop in new details, since it's their Diamond Vision technology (also soon to be seen at the new Yankee Stadium) powering the worlds largest 1080p LED displays, and we're in no position to argue. What can we say, exact specs on HD screens totaling nearly 13,000 sq ft make us weak. Check after the break for the full details before they're scheduled to turn on June 1, 2009.

Available in S.Korea only at the moment with worldwide sales starting in the second half of the year.

Bigger & biggest HDTVs: Sharp's 108 vs. Samsung's 102

by Richard Lawler, posted Jan 9th 2007 at 10:40AM

It's hard to decide. We're seeing so many great HDTVs every day like these two giants -- and some not so giant -- but still, which one of these screens would we rather take home? On the left we've got Samsung's old school 102-inch plasma, on the right Sharp's new 108-inch 1080p Aquos LCD. Some people could be content with a mere 102-inch or even 103-inch screen and prefer plasma to LCD, but with 120Hz motion and other advancements coming off of Sharp's 8th-generation manufacturing line its impossible to say no to the new size king in town. Check out the gallery for a couple more pictures of both.

JVC busts out "world's largest" RPTV at 110-inches

by Paul Miller, posted Sep 29th 2006 at 5:30PM

It might not be as fancy as the ongoing plasma and LCD wars for largest display, but rear projection displays can have size wars too, and JVC looks to have the largest yet, at a spankin' 110-inches. The TV uses JVC's proprietary "D-ILA" liquid crystal panel tech, for a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, and pulls 220w of juice for powering all its glorious pixels. As usual, there's not much of a plan yet for commercializing this display -- the main purpose of the prototype is to show off a new screen tech from Toppan Printing that is manufactured as a single component -- but there's always bragging rights and booth extravaganza action to be had.

Samsung announces biggest consumer LCD available: 70-inch, 1080p

by Richard Lawler, posted Aug 20th 2006 at 11:43PM

Just when we found the perfect spot to put the Sharp 65-inch LC-65D90U LCD, Samsung has announced their 70-inch LCD will be available to consumers during the first half of 2007. Sporting a full 1080p resolution, 2000:1 contrast ratio, sub-8ms reponse time and 120hz refresh rate, Samsung thinks it will compete will with similar large plasma HDTVs. While LG still has the crown of the biggest LCD we've heard about, this will be the biggest one actually available. It will be shown publicly for the first time on the 23rd at the International Meeting on Information Displays (IMID) 2006 in Korea, which is exactly far off enough to get a plane ticket, fly across the Pacific and check it out before you order one.

Newest "World's Largest HDTV" constructed at Japan racetrack

by Richard Lawler, posted Jul 25th 2006 at 7:33AM

We knew this was coming but now we've finally got a picture of the high definition 8,066 sq ft monster installed at Tokyo Racecourse. Now this Mitsubishi Diamond Vision display has far more square footage than the HD LED displays installed by Daktronics at Miami and Texas, or their own last screen at Turner Field in Atlanta, but we're not sure if it really deserves the largest title. Its measurements come in at 218 feet wide by only 37 feet high compared to Dolphin Stadium (137x50 ft) and University of Texas (134x55 ft). Thanks to Mitsubishi's technology they can display up to three races at once on the single screen, but until they start making movies in 5.89 aspect ratio it will be hard to really put this masterpiece to work. Still, if you've got $28 million or so lying around this wouldn't be the worst way to spend it, two NFL games plus 720p Madden should make a happy fall for anyone.

LG puts their biggest 100-inch LCD on display this weekend

by Richard Lawler, posted Jun 3rd 2006 at 1:57PM

If you're looking for a place to catch The Sopranos season finale on Sunday, let us make a suggestion. If you live in San Francisco, you may want to stop by SID (Society for Information Display) 2006, where LG will be publicly showing off their record setting 100-inch LCD HDTV.Or maybe you wouldn't want to...oh who are we kidding you know you would. If you were to accidentally make off with the massive 5ms refresh rate and 3000:1 contrast ratio monster, post up a pic or two in the flickr group of how you got it to fit in your living room.

Texas Longhorns prepare to steal biggest HDTV crown

by Richard Lawler, posted May 10th 2006 at 12:44PM

It was good while it lasted Miami. Daktronics, the same company who built the Dolphin Stadium twin-monster HDTVs has been contracted by the University of Texas to make one even bigger. As a part of renovations to their south end zone they are installing a 134x55-foot scoreboard, 370 square feet bigger than Miami's. As Engadget points out, it's actually slightly narrower and a little taller, bringing some conflict to the question of who is the biggest. All the same, if you want to check it out while everything is still bigger in Texas, you better hurry as a horse track in Tokyo is installing a 197-foot wide display.

If they had announced this last year, maybe Vince Young would have returned to lead them to another National Championship.

Dolphin Stadium 720p HDTV (worlds largest) unveiled

by Richard Lawler, posted Apr 9th 2006 at 2:01PM

A while back we told you the Miami Dolphins were building the largest high definition television in the world,  They showed it off yesterday for the season ticket holders and now we have video. Even in this relatively low resolution video you can see the incredible clarity and detail present in the 720p LED screen. Although having high definition at the game may seem like overkill, we're sure many of you are buying Dolphins' tickets right now and with good reason.

There are actually two of the screens, as you'll notice in the video, both high definition but one is bigger at a stunning 1750 inches. Is Dolphin Stadium going to be the first one where fans buy tickets for a better view of the big screen? Allow stadium jealousy for every other NFL team to begin now.
