Millionaires rejoice, as the Sharp LB-1085 which is also the world’s largest LCD TV at 108 inches goes on sale next week in Japan. This mammoth offers full HD resolution of 1,920×1,080 pixels, the panel supports 7.6 million colors, brightness of 400cd/m2, contrast ratio of 1,200:1 and a viewing angle of 176 degrees. The LCD’s onboard amplifier delivers an output of 15W×2ch, it comes with 3 x HDMI ports and the usual audio / video ports. This baby consumes 1,130W so you know you are warming the planet when playing PS3 on it. The mammoth measures 2,572×202×1,550mm and weighs 195 kgs. Now coming to the harsh reality the Sharp Aquos LB-1085 will cost 11,000,000 Yen ($ 110,000) and would be Japan only for now.
