Sharp's 108-inch LCD HDTV goes Down Under
It has already taken Dubai, Las Vegas and now-sunk Somali pirate ships by storm, but Sharp's 108-inch behemoth has yet to officially launch in Australia... until now. Yep, starting today, Aussies with AU$169,000 to burn can order up their very own LB-1085, which offers a viewing area of around 3.2 square meters and a native 1080p resolution. The only question that remains is: how much is delivery to Cockatoo Island?
Sharp's 108-inch LCD coming soon to an oil magnate near you
Making your company's flagship, mega-dollar products available in markets with lots of money just makes sense, so the announcement that Sharp is putting its 108-inch LB-1085 on shelves in the Middle East isn't exactly a lightbulb moment. At least Sharp was polite enough to introduce the behemoth to USA shores before making it available to retailers in, say, UAE. The press release doesn't mention pricing info, but we've got a feeling that the $100,000 range is about right and qualifies as an impulse buy for the target demographic. Of course, you'll want to take in the glory of this 24x7, and Sharp ensures that the set is up to the task.
Sharp's 108-inch LB-1085 LCD HDTV comes Stateside in September
Sharp's biggest announcement at InfoComm isn't the plethora of new projectors and LCD monitors. No, dear friends, it's the proclamation that its 108-inch LB-1085 1080p display will soon be available right here in the US of A. Sharp's smart enough to not let out a US price just yet, but our handy Japanese currency conversion calculation puts it somewhere around $100,000. Chump change, right?
Sharp's 108-inch LCD now yours for $100,000
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?[Via Impress]

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

Sharp trumpets 108-inch LCD TV, world wonders why
Sharp's just gone and announced the biggest LCD TV that the world has ever seen. Yes, this even beats out that 103-inch plasma we spotted about a year ago. Why anyone even cares about this horse race, we're not really sure -- but you can bet that one of these will probably end up on a future episode of "Pimp My Ride." Nevertheless, we'll post more pictures as soon as we get 'em.Update: Ok, we got the official word from Sharp, and this 108-incher is a real monster. It's 93.9 inches high, 52.9 inches wide and 107.8 inches on the diagonal, and shines with 2.07 million pixels (1,920 x 1,080). So to recap, this thing is 7.8 feet high. We feel very, very small now.
