With a viewing space of 30inches and a resolution of 1024×768, the display is quite blurry and not very stable. However, with advances this particular technology should become a big thing in the near future. Currently, this will set you back a very hefty …

There are few things that will draw as much attention on a trade show flow as a big-a** flat panel television, and that’s just what Sharp did this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with their whopping 108″ LCD TV.

This is the world’s largest LCD to date, and the application of this television is not completely clear to us (aside from the undeniable wow-factor). Not to offend your world perspective skills, but a 6-foot person equates to only 72″, so this television will take up some space …
