Sharp Aquos Is The First 80-Inch LCD TV That You Can Buy

Check the size of this monster compared to human beings. It’s the Sharp Aquos 80-inch LCD television. 80 bloody inches! And still, its price tag is only $US5500, which feels low to me given its insane size.

The full HD 1080p TV runs at the obligatory 120Hz for smooth motion during fast-action sequences and games. Sharp claims its dynamic contrast ratio is six million to one. Even if it’s half of that it would still make me happy to have it. The TV comes with apps like Netflix and CinemaNow built-in for the US market, as well as internet access with built-in Wi-Fi. It also has dual USB inputs that allow you to play back images, music and HD video right in.

It doesn’t have 3D but, quite frankly, I don’t give a damn. If I could fit this titan in my studio, I would get one right away. Sadly, I need the space for my bed.
