Sharp, the maker of LCD panels, copiers, microwaves and other consumer electronics products, just broke the consumer LCD?HDTV size and price barrier with the New York City debut of its 90-inch set. This giant TV beats all of its competition, which currently top out at just 65?inches. It?s also the most expensive, with a retail price of $10,999.99.
The LC-90LE745U is a highly featured television with Full HD 1920 x1080 resolution, Smart TV with movie and TV content from Netflix, CinemaNow, Hulu Plus and Vudu. It is also 3-D capable and includes two pair of active 3-D glasses.
How it looked
The LC-90LE745U produced a bright, vivid image. The anti-glare screen is the same found in the LC-80LE645 we reviewed here. Like a number of other Sharp Aquos LED TVs, this 90-incher (diagonally measured) uses a yellow sub-pixel in addition to the normal red, blue and green ones found on all other HDTVs.
The LC-90LE745U weighs in without included table stand at 142 lbs. It uses an aluminum screen bezel similar to the ones found in its Elite TV line-up. The depth comes in at about 5?inches.
Power consumption is rated at 138 watts, making it ineligible for the Energy Star certification, which has an arbitrary top of 108 watts. A Sharp executive noted the cost of operation is just $28 a year based upon the Energy Star usage criteria. This HDTV is backlit with 500 white LEDs.
Where it's sold
Sharp is limiting sales to brick-and-mortar stores including Best Buy?s Magnolia, PC Richard, Abt Electronics and HH Gregg, and is shipping now.
