bushido_man96 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Wow, that is a huge screen! And a huge price tag! I couldn't imagine paying more for a TV than for a car. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
DWx Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 That would be so cool with surround sound. The price is crazy though, especially seeing as it'll probably be obsolete in less than a decade with the rate the technology's being invented. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius
Patrick Posted June 24, 2008 Author Posted June 24, 2008 Looks like it's going to be a little more expensive. From TG Daily:Retailers have begun selling (link to German website) Sharp’s LB-1085 108” LCD TV in Europe with prices starting at about 120,000 Euro – about $185,000 at the current exchange rate. Expect this TV to be a very special order, as you cannot simply pick it up (which will be quite difficult considering the TV’s weight of 430 pounds), but will have to wait 16 weeks until the device will be delivered.Via Digg.
