    1. Sharp 90-inch smart TV

    You might not be able to tell by looking at this picture, but this is the world's largest LCD TV. The $11,000 beast is 6'8" wide, and you'd better be sitting more than a dozen feet away from it or you'll see every pixel. I know this for a fact, because I own a considerably cheaper 80-inch Sharp TV that's a lot like this. If this giant is anything like its 80-inch "little" brother, you're in for some crispy video with great color -- if you have a room (and bank account) big enough to accommodate it. [From Sharp USA]
