CES 2005: The Next Big Thing
Sharp's 65-inch Aquos
HDTV LC-TV

January 8, 2005; 11:46 a.m.
Sharp Aquos 65-inch LC-TV
The product: Not to be outsized by the competition, Sharp, a leader in LCD production, has announced a 65-inch LC-TV with ultra-HD resolution (1,920x1,080 pixels). Available in two finishes--Titanium and Piano Black--this wall-mountable whopper is slated to ship with a full suite of connectivity options, including HDMI, DVI, and FireWire (IEEE-1394), as well a CableCard slot. The company is also touting the fast response times that cut down on fast-motion blurring, a downside to many LCD TVs.

The price: Sharp has yet to announce a price but says this 65-incher will be available in the second half of 2005.

The prospects: We expect this one to cost more than $20,000. Can you say luxury item?
