CeBIT 2007 - 64 inches and 8.84 megapixels of win

It wouldn't be an IT tradeshow without the display big guns showing off their biggest wares. Panasonic wield 103 inches of plasma doom, while Sharp laugh massively at their feeble attempt with a 108 inch LCD display.

Sharp also laugh like lunatics because they also have a 64 inch 4096x2160 (4Kx2K) display, a display that shows more visible pixels than your news author's 8 megapixel digital camera used to take a picture of the damn thing.

Sharp wouldn't be drawn on the hardware used to drive the motion video display on the super high resolution LCD screen, since it wasn't just displaying static images, but we suspect it's not the same Intel 940G integrated graphics chipset mentioned in an earlier news story.
