If you want the biggest, brightest LCD that money can buy Sharp has just the thing for you. There are a few lines to choose a 60, 70, 80 or 90″ display from, but don’t expect them to top competative models from other vendors in metrics like picture quality – especially in the 70″+ sizes because as you know, unless […]

The first bit of news I found exciting, or at least I would if I were a DirecTV subscriber; the second bit of news I found perplexing. The exciting news for DirecTV subscribers is that DirecTV is finally adding AMD-HD to […]
