Sharp hosted their annual CES press event today and introduced a ton of new products, innovations and initiatives. From our standpoint, the most important announcement was that of the latest gaming LCD Television.

An impressive array of G-Unit branded goods as well as various rappers signed to 50 Cent’s G-Unit/Interscope record label pop up in G-Unit Books – the same kind of product placement used to defray costs in many big budget movies.

The Samsung TV will be at present to be the thinnest LCD TV yet demonstrated. One thing I would like to point out once you have a television this thin you will have to encase it in something to protect it from breakage or mounting since

Sharp once again shows off its prototype of next-generation LCD TV, “Pop Up“. This time during CEATEC 2007 event. As mentioned before, the television is hidden inside a cabinet. It’ll automatically pop-up if you turn it on. Vice versa, the TV will go inside the cabinet once it turned off. Weighs 25kg, the slim TV (at just 20~29mm thickness) itself features a contrast ratio of 100,000:1, a 150% of NTSC color gamut, and an annual power consumption of 140kWh. Still no words on pricing and availability though.

One more pic after the jump.

Sharp has a wonderful imagination for future house TV - something that should only be visible when you want to watch your favourite TV programme. The company’s latest creation, “Pop UP” LCD TV, which is currently being showcased at IFA 2007 event in Berlin, adopts Sharp’s idea… when you turn it on, the TV will automatically pop up from the cabinet. Vice versa, when being turned off, it will automatically go back inside the TV cabinet. Pretty cool, isn’t it? Unfortunately, not much detail about the specs at the moment.
