Gadgets: World's Biggest HDTV
By Jay GarrettHmmmmm.......not sure that Sharp has been watching the news or seen pictures of that unfortunate City Banker effigy being hung under Marble Arch in front of a baying crowd.
Someone in their marketing time should really shove a note with the words “credit” and “crunch” under the Board of Director's noses.
Sharp has chosen today (February 26th) to release their 108 inch LCD TV in the UK.
Nope, that wasn't a typo – 108” makes it the largest flatscreen HDTV in the world!
The Sharp Aquos LB 1085, to use the tele's quite short full name given its size, will be stocked unsurprisingly at that corner shop for the wealthy – Harrods.
I wouldn't mind but this TV is actually already 2 years old but this is the first time that it has been 'available' to buy in the UK.
Is it just me or are you also holding back sniggers at the irony of Sharp's timing?
You'll probably laugh even more when you see the price.
So, it's roughly 4 times the size of a decent, regular TV.....
…...so 4 times the price?
Add a bit more.....
£100,000 and you could be gaining that free hernia trying to fit it in your bedsit!
But this is the shop where you could spend £1200 on an iron and ironing board!
So, sod the Ferrari's and Lambo's – the Premiership Footballer's new must have has indeed arrived.
It will go well with that diamond encrusted Xbox 360 wont it?
