Sharp's 108-inch LCD coming soon to an oil magnate near you

Making your company's flagship, mega-dollar products available in markets with lots of money just makes sense, so the announcement that Sharp is putting its 108-inch LB-1085 on shelves in the Middle East isn't exactly a lightbulb moment. At least Sharp was polite enough to introduce the behemoth to USA shores before making it available to retailers in, say, UAE. The press release doesn't mention pricing info, but we've got a feeling that the $100,000 range is about right and qualifies as an impulse buy for the target demographic. Of course, you'll want to take in the glory of this 24x7, and Sharp ensures that the set is up to the task.

Why would someone pay $100.000 for an LCD 108" when the can get the Panasonic Plasma 108" for about $50,000 - $60,000... I guess it's those idiots who would buy a more expensive Rotel or Marantz receiver over an Onkyo.. cough, cough - kim...
