Re: Headlines - Sharp's 108in LCD TV heads to retail
Well you say "retail" but you aren't going to find it in your highstreet electrical store are you?
 I can't decide whether the main market for this will be overpayed "celebrities" and sports "personalities" or the corporate sector. |

Re: Headlines - Sharp's 108in LCD TV heads to retail
Well it depends, as a presentation or advertising screen driven by a PC i think it would be great.
I can imagine these going used as medium sized billboards in airports. especially when rotated 90degrees as seems to be common practise now. |

I reckon they'd be used for people's home cinema systems, like you see on some swanky footballer's house. Personally I'm going to wait until the 108" OLED TVs come out though  |

Well Aberdeen does (or did a couple of weeks ago when I was in) have a 65" Panasonic on display. And very nice it was too

Re: Headlines - Sharp's 108in LCD TV heads to retail
the 106 in london is impressive for the size, but the picture quality is v poor.
Personally if i was in that situation i'd consider a projection system. Could quite easyily cluster them! |
