Sharp's LB-1085 108-Inch LCD TV Hitting US This September; For $150, 000?

Remember Sharp's monster 108-inch LB-1085 LCD TV? Of course you do, how could you forget? If you have some cash to burn and plenty of room, the 209 pound display will be hitting the US this September. It's already available in Japan and a few European retailers have started to sell the LB-1085 priced at about 120, 000 Euros or about $185, 000 in the US. Apparently we can expect the set to cost about $150, 000 when it arrives in December but it'll only be available through special order; you won't find this one sitting on store shelves. If for some unexplained reason you're planning on spending six figures for the LB-1085 you should remember you're paying for nothing more than its size. Its features are nothing special: 1080p resolution, 1200:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m2 brightness, and a 6 ms response time. If you're still taking the dive, please send us some pics. We'd love to see this giant actually sitting in someone's living room
