Large and In ChargeSharp AQUOS Limited Edition LCD TV Take home-viewing to the next level with this superslim 65-inch LCD screen that is only one inch thick at its narrowest. For $16,000 you also get an amazingly crisp picture with a contrast ratio of more than 1 million to one between solid black and pure white, among the best contrast ratios of any TV ever made. A separate interface box lets you connect high-end home theater components such as media players and sound systems. One word of warning, though: You will need a Blu-ray player and disks to go with this TV if you really want to enjoy your movie-watching.
