Later this year, anyone with $20,000 to spare and a really big wall at home might want to consider Sharp’s new claimant to the world’s-biggest-TV crown, the newly unveiled 108in Aquos LCD it was pimping at CES on Sunday.

Sharp reckons that it’s significant that the new telly takes LCDs to a size no plasma has ever reached but we all know this is really about bragging rights.

More interesting is the reason for the stratospheric cost — the glass substrate panels screens are cut from at Sharp’s factory are large enough to accommodate just one of the 108-inchers. By contrast, eight 46in LCDs can be made from the same panel.
