We’re jealous of the UK: Sharp releasing 108″ LCD TV on Monday
March 1, 2009 by Derek
Yes, Sharp is releasing a gigantic 108″ LCD HDTV on Monday morning to stores in the UK. It’s huge, with very solid stats, and it’ll put a pretty big dent in your wallet as well. Recession in the UK? Maybe, maybe not.
The official name is the Sharp Aquos LB 1085, and it will be in stock and available at Harrod’s (a high end store in the UK), and will run you only £100,000 (that’s over $140,000 in US Dollars, folks!). Pocket change, we say.
This concept/model was announced over 2 years ago originally, but the technology and manufacturing process only recently allowed the TV to be produced and sold to the public.
Needless to say, in this economic climate, it may be wise to wait until the price comes down a bit. No word on whether this will be sold in the US anytime soon (and it may not have sold well there anyway at this price, so that may be a good thing).
