Bragging rights
Las Vegas: For many of the companies attending the annual Consumer Electronics Show here, it is all about ’speeds and feeds’ and bragging rights. The ‘biggest’, the ‘fastest’, or just the ‘best’.
This time around Sharp, the Japanese electronics group, has placed a pretty big opening bid by unveiling "the world’s largest LCD TV" - a 108-inch giant that convincingly nixes the idea that LCD technology can’t match the rival plasma when it comes to size.
The eye-popping Sharp display is 66 per cent larger than Sharp’s previous flagship Aquos LCD TV, a 65-inch model that wowed the CES audience last year. No news yet though on the price.
