Sharp and Samsung are duelling it out for the title of the world’s biggest LCD TV.
Sharp’s LC-65D90U is currently the largest commercially available1 LCD-TV, but Samsung has a 82 inch monster that will hit the showrooms later this year.

The LC-65D90U has super high resolution at 1920 x 1080 and uses Sharp’s proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel.
This provides high brightness (450 cd/m2), 800:1 Contrast Ratio, and wide viewing angles. It also has a fully integrated HDTV tuner and CableCARD™ compatibility, which means you can use a CableCARD™ from your Cable-TV system provider and don’t need a separate cable set-top box.
These super-sized LCD TVs means that LCDs are really starting to take the battle to Plasmas because size has been Plasma TVs recent advantage.

Samsung is the world’s biggest maker of LCD displays. (LG Philips LCD a joint venture between LG & Philips is the second and chasing them hard). They’ve both got huge, new 7th generation factories in Korea ramping output fast.
Samsung are forecasting increased demand for LCD TVs. In fact they predict a 60+% increase in industry sales of LCD TVs in the coming year.
Similarly, LG Philips LCD posted a 900% profit increase in their proft for the last quarter of 2005 off the back of their LCD TV sales.
LCD TV boom times are here and are going to stay for a while. If you’ve got the patience hold off buying (hard I know because the things look so sexy) because prices are going to be catching the express lift to the ground floor. (LCDs are intrinsically a lot cheaper to produce than Plasma TVs).
