Have you ever looked at your 60" HDTV and thought, thats just not big enough? Do you often wish your neighbors at the end of your street could see what's playing on your screen in perfect clarity? Has the urge to watch your television from the comfort of your grocery store ever come to mind? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, Matsushita has the answer for you!
At a recent trade show, Matsushita, maker of television sets for Panasonic announced its largest plasma screen to date. Their new plasma television is 103" in overall design. Measuring an astounding 2.4 metres (7.8 feet) by 1.4 (4.6 feet) meters and weighing in at a scant 215 kg (474 lbs) its clear that this television is not for the faint at heart. Girth is nothing without performance however and this set does not disappoint. With true 1920x1080 resolution and full HDTV compliance.
Panasonic has yet to release a price for this monstrosity, however if the price point for their closest cabinet, the 65" plasma selling at $7500 USD is any measure, expect not to see these popping in living rooms around the globe.
Matsushita has already claimed that this television is geared towards the business market and is set to release 5000 units per year.
