When one thinks of high-definition flat-panel televisions, one usually thinks of plasma. LCD screens have been gaining in popularity in the lower size categories, but for the really big stuff you're stuck with plasma, right? Not any more.

Sharp has had its most hardened boffins slaving away at the liquid crystal factory to produce an LCD screen of truly titanic size. At 65 inches (165 cm), the Aquos LC-65G5X is an impressive sight to behold. It's also one of the few screens that can display a native 1080-pixel high-definition picture - the highest-quality high-definition standard there is.

Sharp has had to pull out all the technical stops to make such a fantastic screen possible, including superfast pixel response times and four-colour back lights for the best possible colour reproduction.

And it only costs a$26,000 with change!
