The wonderfully large Sharp LC-45GD1
Sharp is releasing a beautiful gigantic LCD HDTV in time for this years Olympic games, as well as four other smaller screen TV's. The smaller ones, two 37 inchers and two 32 inchers are all HDTV ready (at reduced size) and have built-in terrestrial and satellite tuners. The only difference between the two models of each size is that two have speakers on the side and the other have them on the bottom. We guess they just wanted to cover all their bases for this make-or-break option. Anyway, the bigger model is a huge 45 inches (second largest LCD TV out there) and is HDTV ready, but places the tuners in a separate box. For this one they apparently didn't find it necessary to give speaker-placement options, no doubt relying on its immense size alone to drive sales.
