Sony to Demo 82-Inch LCD at CES

While some say otherwise, Sony is placing its bets that bigger is, in fact, better when it shows off a new LCD television at CES 2006 in January. The company has developed an 82-inch display, which will further prove that TFT displays can reach sizes attained by plasma and rear-projection televisions.

Japanese daily Nihon Keizai Shimbun first reported on Sony's plans, but no other details of the TV have been announced. Samsung introduced a similar 82-inch behemoth at CeBIT in March, which boasted 1920x1080 pixels and 1080p HD support. Sony actually worked with Samsung on that TV, and is now ready to demo one of its own.
