Only 1080p. Would expect a higher resolution at that size and price. The pixels will be roughly 4 times larger than those on a 1080p 47" LCD.

Same here. You can get an 84'' UHD TV for far cheaper.

90" for only 1920 x 1080? Epic fail. At that resolution, it will not be Sharp at all.

I know the Rand is currently weak, but is nowhere near R25 per USD.

$10,000 - http://www.sharpusa.com/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTV/Models/LC90LE745U.aspx

Agreed. The width of the screen is just over 2000mm, so that means each pixel is about 1x1mm.

Well spotted! It is way overpriced in South Africa. I paid R6 200 for my 46 inch Samsung TV. I can get 40 X 46inch TVs for the price of this one!
