'CES 2007: TV 108 inches

Sharp Electronics has won the crown for the world's largest LCD TV today thanks to the 108-inch liquid crystal " dinosaur ", a size that makes it impossible to slip into the main door of many homes.

Along with this blockbuster, Sharp also introduced a number of technologies to help limit the "jerky" image in LCD TVs, a drawback that makes LCD lacks the front of plasma screens.

" No longer wondering, LCD TVs will soon become flat-screen technology dominating the market, " Sharp's CEO Toshihiko Fujimoto said.

Last year, also within the framework of the CES exhibition, the Korean giant Samsung Electronics announced the world's largest flat-screen TV at the time - a 102-inch plasma TV.

Both Sharp, Samsung and other rival brands such as LG, Toshiba, Philips, Sony and Matsushita have reported that they have doubled the frame rate per second for the LCD screen, from 60 to 120. Thanks to that, the transfer High-speed motion on the screen will be displayed "smoother, smoother and smoother".

However, Vice President of Panasonic's display division, Andrew Nelkin, believes that these improvements only help LCD TVs to close the gap and not be able to keep up with picture quality with plasma screens.

Sales of both plasma and LCD TVs are booming at the present time, especially with the news that the US will officially broadcast digital, high-definition television in 2009. Currently, there are more than one part. Three US households own a high-definition TV. 55% said they would buy high-end televisions in 2007.

The only problem that remains today is the high cost of flat-screen TVs. A sample of Panasonic's 103-inch plasma TV has a retail price of up to $ 70,000, while LG's 71-inch TV is also approximately $ 15,000. It was 80% less than a year ago.

Sharp's "dinosaur" TV model is expected to hit the market next summer, but the price has not yet been decided. Even so, Sharp is still confident that they will "find customers". Many companies need big screens, for professional studios or online seminars, for example, said Bob Scaglinone, vice president of marketing.
