Sharp keeping it’s promise made to the consumers last year, put its gigantic 108-inch LCD TV on sale today. The price tag is $100,000 built-to-order. The LCD , largest so far shown by any manufacturer was first unveiled in January 2007 at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The Full HD (1,920 pixels by 1,080 pixels) monitor comes with a wide array of input sockets. There’s analog RGB and DVI computer inputs, 3 HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) inputs, two composite video inputs, two sets of component video inputs and one S-Video input. The entire set weighs an impressive 195 kilograms and consumes 1.1 kilowatts (kW) when in use.

Measuring 2.2 meters by 2.5 meters, the display panel is the largest currently possible from Sharp’s most advanced production line in Kameyama, Japan. As such potential buyers shouldn’t have to worry too much about bigger, better and presumably even more expensive LCD monitors coming from Sharp anytime soon.
