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?
