Almost all the buzz around CES this year has something to do with the large number of “big” televisions shown, and it seemed like most every manufacturer had some kind of 100″+ screen on the show floor. While we know that bigger isn’t always better, most of these TVs looked great. My pick of the show for the best looking “big TV” is the Sharp 108″ LCD Aquos pictured above. To my eyes this display looked better than most I had seen, and I stopped to ask a Sharp representative why that was. I don’t remember what she said, because, like most of the Sharp reps, she was blonde, miniskirted and quite gorgeous. Luckily, I thought to take notes.

These screens use a new, very high quality glass. The panels come from a new Sharp plant in Japan, and is the first to use this new type of glass. This display is a full 1080p, and has a contrast ratio meeting that of plasma televisions. So, that means LCD is here to stay, and is probably winning the size race, since they’ve beaten Panasonic’s 103″ plasma.

Sharp has no plans to sell this glorious TV yet, but if they did, I’m sure it would sell well. Words like “ballgame” and “Gears of War” were floating around this display every time I passed by. Seeing as how the upcoming Aquos 52″ LCD will sell for about $5000, quick math would give you a good guessing number for this 108″.
