it's an LCD, so that's good. doesn't say anything about what resolution(s) it can run though.

Sharp has been meeting the demand for high image quality by achieving resolution (4096 x 2160 pixel) four times higher than the current HD, the world’s highest contrast ratio (1 million:1) and fast full-motion video response rate (4 msec, 120 Hz).

I'm guessing that that resolution applies to this 108V model as well.

I guess they achieve that resolution through shear size! But i wonder about the clarity, you'll prolly have to stand at the 50 yard line to get a clear picture ;)
