Sharp promises to bring its 108-inch LCD to market in '08

Although it's been a year since we first laid our eye on Sharp's 108-inch LCD, the super-sized HD set failed to hit the market; but during Sharp's CES press event today they promised to make it available for sale in '08. The obvious question of course is, when, and how much? We don't know about you, but we don't have to wait for the official pricing to know it'll be out of our budget.

im sorry, but where did you learn English?
That makes perfect sense.
They are saying it is out of their budget and they don't need to wait to find that out. How would Engadget know if it was out of my, or anyone else's budget.

Don't worry Tom. In Steve Jobs world everyone can afford 108 inch displays.

Cool - I'm hoping to see plenty of large screens - bigger than 70" but hopefully in a reasonable price range for mid income people. I'd love to see a great 80" screen that is under 10K.

I'm glad I got my 56" DLP when I did (3 years ago). It still looks awesome and by the time I'll need a new TV, I can get one with much better picture quality but as large as a projection screen!

I'll need a bigger wall to fit this on my room

Me thinks it will be around 80k USD.

So how big can they make the screen before it won't be able to fit your door?

A TV that won't fit through your door?? That'll be the day! Maybe have a double door? Or maybe they'll have an OLED TV rolled like a carpet!!! After all, that's what they're aiming for...tv's wrapped around a pillar or something rounded!

Maybe one day we'll could have a 3D Laser display vision or something that doesn't actualy have a screen!?!?
