Sharp has unveiled a 108-inch LCD television, which is the world's largest TV. It's 93.9 inches high, 52.9 inches wide and 107.8 inches on the diagonal. It has 2.07 million pixels (1,920 x 1,080).
The 108-inch television comes out this summer for an as-yet unspecified price. The 108-inch LCD is now larger than the biggest plasmas that have been announced. The largest plasma TV measures 105 inches.
The television also has a higher resolution than plasmas and lower power consumption. The technologies found in these big televisions eventually trickle down to smaller, higher-volume sets.
LCD televisions are also beginning to challenge plasmas in sales in the 40-inch and above categories, where plasma has been dominant. Global demand for LCD televisions will rise from 42 million units in 2006 to 69.7 million this year. By 2010, LCD television shipments will rise to 128 million units.
