The Really Big Picture
Sharp might have clinched the honors for biggest LCD TV screen (along with the attention of camera crews from media outlets such as CNN) with its 108-inch model. (No price or model number was given for the gargantuan panel, but expect it to exceed your budget if and when it makes it into production.) The award for biggest TV at CES, though, actually goes to Optoma. The newest addition to the company's BigVizion line of DLP rear-projection displays features a 120-inch diagonal screen — I actually had to back up into a neighboring manufacturer's booth to get a full glimpse of its 1080p-rez picture. Aimed at the custom-install market, the newest BigVizion uses a 40-inch-deep modular in-wall cabinet and is scheduled to ship in the second half of 2007 for $50,000. — Al Griffin
