Sharp's AQUOS LC-65XS1U-S and LC-52XS1U-S HDTVs get priced

Here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for. Pricing for Sharp's sexiest, freshest and altogether loveliest HDTVs has arrived. As stated at CEATEC in Japan, the 65-inch LC-65XS1U-S will sell for a whopping ¥1.28 million ($12,225), while the 52-inch LC-52XS1U-S goes for ¥980,000 ($9,243). We'd expect those figures to be a touch lower whenever they come stateside, but rest assured, you'll be breaking into the piggy bank if either of these is to be your next set.

Do they dip these in gold? That's an awful lot of money.

I find that sexiness is quite expensive nowadays.

Are these OLED displays? If not, I'm not impressed.

Why are these so expensive. Yes, its 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, but you can get a Samsung 950 series HDTV that is basically the exact same, a 46" for around $3,500 and a 52" for around $4,500. If Samsung had a 65" HDTV i'm sure it would cost a lot less than $12,225.

Never heard of these sets before, specs please.

Those prices are insane! Awesome TV's but I'd rather buy a TV for each room of my house before buying that.
