Sharp unveiled the largest LED TV on the planet — the 90-inch AQUOS with 3D technology — at an event in New York City on Monday. Standing nearly four feet tall and spanning more than six-and-a-half feet in width, the screen is big enough to rest about 56 iPads on its surface. It weighs in at a lean 141 pounds (without a stand) and is less than five inches deep.
The AQUOS 90-inch TV may be large, but thanks to LED technology, it uses less than two 75-watt light bulbs, meaning that the electricity it uses will cost owners only about $28 per year, according to the company.
Sharp is the only brand that offers the three biggest screen sizes for LED TVs at 70 inches, 80 inches and now 90 inches. Other LED manufacturers don’t go larger than 65 inches.
The picture quality is as impressive as its size, with a crisp 1080-pixel display. In addition to carrying Sharp’s propriety SmartCentral system — which allows for web browsing, Skype capability, built-in Wi-Fi and gives access to apps and on-demand services such as Netflix — it is 3D-capable and comes with two 3D glasses.
The AQUOS also comes with AquoMotion 240, which makes fast-action motions in sports or movies seamless without blurring.
The price for such a prize? $10,999.99, so it won’t be in everyone’s price range
Having smart TV capability can be handy for a lot of reasons, like browsing the web without leaving your chair, or with this TV, even making a video call. I know I would love this TV as it is about the same size as the screen for my projector I just purchased. The difference is the quality of this Sharp is much better than my projector. Switching between the inputs when I wanted to use my apps on the projector was a pain though. A Dish co-worker showed me that my new Hopper DVR has the Facebook app though, as well as Pandora. Pandora was a huge find because since my other three TVs aren’t smart, I was glad I can listen to different stations at the same time in the other three rooms since the Hopper is a client server too. The Joey boxes in each room work independently, and fit behind the wall mounted TVs.
