Anybody want a peanut?
You'll get highly ranked (if not highest) for referencing a joke that was made in the story just a few days ago when they talked about this TV being released in Japan.
Oh well, much of this readership is gung-ho about recycling as it is. :)
Ah I didn't see that story. Thats just his greatest line ever.
EXCUSE ME! (youre balls are showing)
hmmm, a gallon of gas or this tv,.... ill go with the gas
For $100,000 you would only get about a half a gallon of gas.
I'm just wondering if it will have VESA-Compliant mounts, that's the part I'm real iffy about...that and the $100k price tag...
VESA mounts?
You're joking right? No VESA mount can support the weight of Andre the Giant....
Well, you could whore yourself to 10000 fat chicks for $10, or 1000 REALLY fat chicks for $100.
I'd like to think that for 100 grand they could demonstrate this showing something else besides a black and white circus freak. Oh and throw in Asian Reporter Trisha Takanowa for a scale reference.
Whoa there, that is Andre the Giant in Princess Bride, If that were the screen saver I'd buy it right now.
Insulting Andre the Giant = fail.
GTFO.
Or I could get 4 65" 1080p displays and spend part of the $68,000 remaining to figure out how to link them all together as one big massive screen. That or maybe just get one 65" screen for $8,000 as that would be large enough and figure out something else to do with the remaining $92,000
With $92,000 you could buy the remaining 43 inches.
I'm going to need another pair of eyes.
A little known fact:
Andre the Giant's fro is actually slightly stronger than Chuck Norris' beard.
Are you sure? I didn't think that was possible. I think Andre is romancing the women on the other side.
That's perfect for the walk in closet.
For that price I'd expect Andre the Giant too :P
Andre the Giant is dead. And even if was alive you couldn't have him; He was not an animal. He was a human being. He was a man.
He was not a man. He was the man.
For a fourth of the price of this screen, and with much less potential headache down the road, and a much much easier delivery and installation, you could get an amazing projector and screen, and lighting control for the room.
good night, sweet prince.
shepherd fairey, rot in hell, plzkthx.
$100,000? i'll just buy the nearest small cinema to our house...
is it called LB-1085 because that's how much it weighs?
Hmmm.... for $100,000 I sure hope it's available in color.
That 108 will soon be super sized. Bigger may be better but it's not always the BEST.
I visited Sharp Corporation several years near Kyoto where they manufacture HD screens. I haven't kept up with their production statistics, but at the time for every 100 screens they made, only 1 was good enough to market. Today, it probably improved on quality and manufacturing processes but based on the price of this 108" screen tells me that they still have a problem but to a lesser degree. Larger the screen, the more difficult it is to get a passable product out the door.
