- jervana, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18come within two feet of this thing and you won't be able to have kids in the future.
- andy2005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+765-inch? ... That's not a monitor. That's wallpaper!
:-) - EyeDye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Meh... Let me know when they announce a 65-dollar LCD Monitor.
- jasoneisen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Take a look at your 19" monitor right now.
Picture the diagonal from bottom left to top right extending out three and a half times. That is so insane. That would take up 3/4 of my desk. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Just buy a 24" monitor and put it close to your face.
You'll have a comparable experience. - 12340987, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Hmm, new Lexus or LCD monitor... I can't decide
- LoungeActx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4a monitor is defined as a TV without a built in tuner. But yeah 65" is pretty damn big...I have a 23" Apple Cinema display, and 23" is pretty damn big. Imagine the time it would take you to move your mouse from one side of it to the other!
- Renegade.eit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4With the 1920x1080 resolution, it seems to be more of an LCD TV than an LCD monitor. I wouldn't mind using it for both though ;-)
- teamparadox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'd say yay but im waiting for the superior SED TV's
- MacNugget, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I hope you got AppleCare on that thing because they stiffed you by 96,000 pixels. :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+41920 x 1080? those are some large pixels to put in a 65"
Perhaps you would have to place it so far away it will end up looking like a 19" a few inches away... - aurrea, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm thinking the same. 1920x1080 is not going to display anymore data on the screen than a 20" running the same res.
This is a nice T V. - Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you're using that thing for a monitor, chances are you're too geek to ever reproduce anyway.
Come to think of it, that probably means my chances of spawning are saved only by the fact that I'll never be able to afford that beast. - FunkyChicken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This article below provides more details:

For example:
------------------
The monitor has a DVI and a Mini D-Sub socket for hooking up to a computer and there is also a composite video and D4 analog HDTV input. Sharp’s TV also has the DVI-D socket but the Mini D-Sub connector is only found on the monitor. There are also several connectors missing from the monitor than are on the TV, such as an S-Video socket and HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) digital HDTV interface. The monitor has a stereo audio input.

Cool stuff. Digg+ - Subcide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thats no monitor... thats a TV.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That is a horrible picture.
No size reference of anything.
Also, no price means very expensive. - jayf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3People read LCD and automatically think computer monitor.
Their AQUOS line is all flat panel TVs using ASV technology. - geofferensis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This sounds more like an LCD TV than a monitor.
- The_Ox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21920 x 1080 ? My 30" from apple is 2500 x 1600 !!!
- Cyberdactyl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I agree with the others here.
1900x1080 ain't gonna cut it as a "professional monitor" on a 65" display. My Dell 2405FPW (24") runs at 1900x1200 native and I love it, but stretch that out three times larger and it will be insufficient. It needs something in the 5400x3400 range. - everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"There is no need for screens of this size. Buy a friggin projector."
you make me a projector that looks as good and is as bright as an LCD TV in a fully lighted room with no washout and i'll give you a cookie. most projectors i've seen need at least a dim environment to work well, and no one wants to be eating dinner in a semi-lighted living room. - frem001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1why didn't they utilize 2 dvi connections and increase the resolution. It would be fine if it had 2 x the resolution of a 30" cinema display but only 1080i is just poor for that size.
- johndi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'd go for a projector, but my wife calls me a vampire. I've got light sensitive eyes and she thinks it's funny when i go from dim light to bright light. (OK, it is funny) If daytime viewing is that important look into a projection screens. Sony makes a screen for daytime viewing. Oddly it's black.
- MonkeyFit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What about that 56" LCD with 3840x2160 resolution. That is something I wouldn't mind having as a monitor. If it has a crap response time, I'll get a 19" for fast games. I prefer resolution to size. So this doesn't interest me very much. However, my friend is the opposite, so he would prolly want one of these.
- MrDEEDS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool it will b at least 29.999.99 coming to a best buy near YOU!!!
W('o')W - sLydE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My three 19" lcds at 3840x1024 resolution work quite nicely. It's not generally about the size of the monitor, more about the top resolution that you can achieve that makes a difference.
- tarball, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Probably have to sell the kids to afford it! :-)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It'd be nice to sit back with one of these in a recliner and a wireless keyboard from 5 feet away. I'd be buy one
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1anyone thinking what i'm thinking? high-def life size porn! woo! ha ha. watch this thing be a choice between buying one of these monsters, or getting a sports car. i know at my work we have a 61" samsung plasma that's going for 10 grand. and LCD's are far more expensive than plasmas. this is gonna cost a fortune. the size is awsome, but they gotta start making it affordable too...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Huh? I though it was an LCD, not a CRT...
- nebunezzar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Don't bring me into this man. I couldn't afford your ultra res monitor or see the ultra tiny icons and text (unless it was a huge monitor to make up the difference). I am in the market for an hdtv, not another monitor. That extra resolution would be wasted on an hd source like a x360.
- chopstickhero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1obviously you wouldn't put that on your desk. you would stick it on a wall, sit back and use it to watch movies!
- syc151, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'd buy one, depending on the price, most of the time LCDs are expensive, I wonder how much it'll sell for.
- dcmiltown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It looks really blue/green. ;)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, this is exactly the resolution of true HD TV. Despite what that site is billing it as, this is just another HDTV, only it doesn't include a sound system.
This "Bright Pixel Illumination" ***** sounds like an excuse to let their QC process degrade some. - doublebackslash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The term you are looking for is dot pitch, which is a term used to describe the distance between a dot of the same color (red, green, or blue). Wiki has more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_pitch
- LoungeActx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yeah..you're right...same resolution...i guess moving your mouse wouldn't be too bad. But that's the reason I didn't go with the 30"...
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Old news to you does not equal old news to the Digg community. Please don't troll.
- The_Ox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You got me.
- aznboi04k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1sharp already sell a 65" lcd monitor. it's called sharp aquos 65" lcd tv. i think it's only missing a dvi connection. but, it has hdmi.
- subject117, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It'll be like the odds of the lotto to NOT get a dead pixel.
- Tsukmar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm not entirely sure on this, but if the resolution isn't high to match - wouldn't the odds be the same?
- Julz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that moniter kicks ass!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Err.. not really.. it's only HD resolution... that's only around 2 megapixels.
- Arcotik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Play some CS on that there moniter'd badass.
- Ghazi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I will NEVER buy/trust Sharp and its products again. Horrible customer support, false advertising, rebate fraud, you name it...
- saska, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just imagine the aliasing in a video stretched to full screen on that thing. Couldn't agree more - real estate means nothing if you're just making the pixels bigger.
- T00LB0X, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"There is no need for screens of this size. Buy a friggin projector"
This monitor would be EXCELLENT for graphic designers (the more of an image that i can see the easier my workflow becomes) (seeing more of an image requires a boatload of resolution and viewable screen real-estate.)
also for video editing, good god with that resolution...i could have several instances of Vegas or Premiere running all dedicated to one project on one screen...and not cricking my neck to check my 2nd monitor constantly.
projection is nice, but cant recreate the colors that i see (with accuracy) to the actual colors of whatever project i'm working on...then you have to worry about...is that true deep blue on my projection even remotely close to my final output on my media.. film...web...etc
point is its obviously designed for this kind of applications and movies movies movies! also it beats the crap outta my 21 in. - error00101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I got to see this thing up close... we had a prototype here at work. I almost knocked the thing over while taking pictures!
Anyhow, very big, but I wasn't crazy about the picture quality... seemed a little fuzzy, but then again, it was just a prototype. And despite my concerns about picture quality, I still couldn't help but want it. I asked if I could have it for my desk after the exhibit, but they said no. - andy2005, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Come within a few feet and you'll get a nice RGB tan.
