It also boasts a dual core processor for faster application speeds, USB Media Playback for hooking up additional content and USB Timeshift Plus function to pause, replay and record live programming.
The new 80-inch model is more than just a television, it combines all the AV needs of the home, says Sharp. Without a stand, the 80″ TV has dimensions (in mm) of 1867X1114X99 and is 63mm at its thinnest part, and weighs 53kg.
With the stand, which comes included, the Sharp set weighs 57kg.
As for those concerned about whether they have enough space to fit an 80″ screen – LCDs of this size have an ideal viewing distance of three meters – meaning you don’t need a huge living area to enjoy the big screen.
However, big ain’t cheap.
The Sharp 80″ has a RRP $10,999.00 and includes a pair of 3D glasses and a wireless dongle. It will be available in all major electrical retail outlets at the end of August.
