Grand Central Station is getting into the Christmas spirit early this year. Sharp has unveiled a 26-foot-tall Christmas tree made of 43 Aquos LCD TVs varying in size from 19" to 52". The really cool thing about the display is that the TVs are all wired together, showing a coordinated video of snowflakes and waterfalls. Passersby can also sign up to win one of the televisions.
