PRO: Under his leadership, Sharp brought us the first large commercial LCD panel TVs, and rolled out this year a monster 108-in. version. Sharp is also a leading player in the solar power market.
CON: Despite improvements, moving images can still pose a problem for LCD TVs, which is not a problem for competing plasma TVs.
