Sharp 108 Inch Lcd Tv Display An Eye Catcher For Businesses
1. Sharp 108” LCD TV /Display: An Eye-Catcher for Businesses!
In November, Sharp India did the product release for the largest flat panel LCD display in
the world – the 108-inch LB-1085 model. It is an eye-catcher that stops you in your
tracks to just look at the crystal clear picture — better than what one would see in a
movie theater!.
Basic Features: With screen dimensions of 93.9-inches wide by 52.9-inches high (7.8-feet
by 4.4-feet), full-HD resolution with 6.21 million pixels (1,920 x 1,080), a TFT (thin-film
transistor) active matrix drive system, and array of inputs, including HDMITM
, Blue-ray
and DVI-I for high definition connections, it is not surprising that the picture is awe-
inspiring. The contrast ratio is 1200:1, producing a good black color, the brightness is
400 cd/m2
, producing bright vivid colours, and the response speed of 6ms is super-fast for
viewing fast moving videos.
Once you see a movie or play a video game on this screen, you can not imagine viewing
a smaller screen. However, at current prices of INR 97 lakhs, this is only going to be
accessible to a few exclusive high net-worth individuals and sure to be a prize possession
for the limited few who can afford these TVs.
Business Value Proposition: The value proposition should be more acceptable to
corporates looking to leverage world-class infrastructure to attract and retain customers
or those building an office or boardroom environment that will be current for a few years.
The fan-less design makes the 108-inch Sharp LCD display more attractive than the 103-
inch Panasonic Plasma display, not because of the larger size but because of the
robustness of cutting edge LCD technology and closed fan-less design architecture.
Combine the robustness of the unit with fact that LCD images are easier to view in
ambient light than plasma images, viewing angles being approximately the same (the
viewing angle for the 108-inch Sharp LCD is 176°) and the fact that LCD displays can be
operated 24x7 for over 5 years with no deterioration in image quality, 108-inch Sharp
LCD should be the longer term choice for businesses.
Other features will welcomed by businesses:
• Remote Monitoring and Management of Monitors: Up to 100 LCD monitors can
be monitored and managed remotely. For example, the power can be switched off
to conserve energy and remote diagnostics can be performed to diagnose
problems with the monitor before dispatching a technician to fix the problem.
• Efficient Power Management: The 108” monitor is equivalent to having four 52”
monitors placed together, however the power usage is much better than having
four 52” displays.
• Fan-less Design for Quieter Operation: No fans in the display, results not only in
a more robust architecture that better protects the display from dust and other
environmental conditions, but there is less noise.
Business Usage: We will not be surprised to see these displays appear in:
2. • High-end malls: Not just to highlight or advertise key products and shops, but to
show music videos and events at the mall. How can this not jazz up the malls and
in the current environment of using every tool to drive traffic to the mall, this
display will surely will be a must-have feature
• Live Events, Trade Shows and Reality TV Sets: Grabbing attention in all these
applications is the key to success and 108-inch display does just that
• Training Centres: With LCD being a better technology to show both data images
and along with the size advantage, we will be sure to see more training centres
using the 108-inch Sharp display. Combine digital whiteboard capabilities that
can be added-on and the value-add is even more significant.
• Security Monitoring, Network Operation Centers & Other Control and Command
Centres: The ability to see multiple images at the same time and the ability to
zoom in and out on troubled spot creates a value-proposition for this large display
• Advertising: Again the Wow! factor will drive adoption in this market
