Sharp has released a 90-inch new Aquos LED TV, which stands 4 feet tall and is 6 feet, 8 inches across, marking the biggest LED high-def television on the market.

Sharp brags the set is less than 5 inches thick and weighs 114 pounds. The new TV could be sold at the price of $10,999.99.

Consumer Reports didn't render a verdict after just a quick look, but noted that Sharp "has definitely taken the lead in larger TV screen sizes." It cited the 60-, 70- and 80-inch sets from the past, saying they had typically done well in TV ratings, although some of the monster screens had relatively narrow viewing angles.

Consumer Reports pointed out a question that "not everyone has the room -- or room in the budget -- for a 90-inch set." So, when rolling out the world's biggest TV (in its class, anyway), why bother with subtlety and understatement, right?
Sharp Electronics of America President John Herrington said it "offers size, picture quality and smart functionality unlike anything consumers have experienced." But that was barely a warm-up for the news release accompanying the announcement.

"Imagine yourself standing at the precipice of the Grand Canyon," it reads. "It's 3,000 feet straight down. The wind howls in your ears. Your heart races as you leap forward and plummet toward the bottom. Just before you plunge into the river below ... you spill the popcorn all over the living room couch.

"That's the experience you'll get when watching the breathtaking 90-inch (diagonal) AQUOS LED TV (model LC-90LE745U), introduced today by Sharp."
