HDS wants a big TV

Which one is better? 75 or 90

For my first real post, I thought it would be best to start with something big. I mean 75 or 90 inches big.

Why those two sizes?

One is for the Sharp LC-90LE745U which Sharp claims is the world's largest LED TV. At 90 inches (actually 90 1/64 diagonal) it is really impressive. I measured the wall in our living room were we have our 32 inch TV (stop laughing, it seemed big when we got it) and the Sharp would take 2/3 of that wall. It would be like having a window in my wall. I would of course then have to get a Blu-Ray of looping window scenes that can play while we are having dinner. Anybody know if those exist? I know they have the looping fireplace on Netflix but a 90 inch fireplace is kind of ridiculous.
The specs are good too:

• 1920x1080 resolution
• Built-in wi-fi
• Smart TV with web browser
• Full HD Active 3D
• Full array LED
• 120hz refresh rate (Aquamotion bumps it up to 240hz)

What about the 75?

Well that is in regards to the Samsung 75-inch ES9000. Unfortunately that is only available in Korea and no mention yet if that will be coming to the US. I know that this one is smaller but I think it actually looks beautiful. It has a super thin bezel which from the pictures it almost doesn't seem to have one. The Samsung just looks more stylish and hi-tech while the Sharp one goes a little more boxy and plain. I couldn't find the specs for that one but I'm sure they are good to. It also has a retractable webcam along the top, very cool.

Why can't I have them?

As stated above for the Samsung it's only available in Korea and even if I could get it, it's priced at around $17,450. That actually makes the Sharp one look even better because that is available in the US and it's priced at $10,999, over $6,400 less! They always say you should buy the biggest TV that you can afford so if you could afford either these than the Sharp one is a steal. Even if it doesn't look as sexy. Sadly that is still over my budget so I can't have either.

Comments

Does anyone have one of these or seen it in person? What do you think? If someone has seen the Samsung one, please let me know if it is as beautiful as I think it is.
