This year, the Mine Is Bigger Award has a clear winner: Sharp's 108-inch LCD. LCD televisions have the reputation of not scaling up to larger sizes well, but the image quality of this TV, two of which were on display at Sharp's booth, was truly astonishing.

It's not for sale yet, but a Sharp employee told me it will be by the end of the year. There will be two problems, though. First will be the price, which wasn't disclosed but that surely will be high. The second will be that few people have a room big enough to house the TV.

But both problems are surmountable with enough money.

Bottom line: Buy the TV, then build a new house to go with it.
