| Sharp will be unveiling a full range of new HD products at the IFA exhibition next week in Berlin. These include the company’s line up of large screen HDTVs & its new Blu-ray player. |
Mike Gabriel, head of marketing and communications for Sharp said, “By 2015, we predict that the average size of an LCD TV in a European home will be 60 inches. We are already seeing a trend towards bigger screen sizes in the trade and we expect this trend to continue into the mainstream market: people are expecting more size for their money. This is why Sharp is looking at a strategy involving LCD screen sizes of 42 inch & above.”
