Leviathan LCDs

Huge plasmas are, well, huge, but LCDs are the new hotness. And this year, Samsung blew everyone out of the water with a whopping 82-inch LCD that looks like buttah. Crowded by a mob of people (and not helped by a Boomer Esiason appearance about four feet away from it), I had to hold the camera over my head to get even this off-kilter shot. But there it is, complete with a crab. Considering last year's largest LCD TV was only 65 inches diagonally, this is a huge jump, bigger than the last three years combined. (Of course, this is just a polished version of the machine Samsung showed off way back in March.)

Still, I'm impressed with the dramatic leaps in LCD technology this year. Next year, 100 inches! Who's with me?
