150" Thats a huge TV

Post by kappage »

A 150-inch high-definiton plasma TV unveiled by Panasonic is the world’s largest to date, the Japanese consumer electronics company claimed Monday at the International Consumer Electronics Show. The plasma panel features an 8.84 million pixel image resolution. Its screen is the equivalent of nine 50-inch sets, with an effective viewing area of 11 feet, the company said. It’s a step up from Panasonic’s 103-inch version, which cost $70,000 when it launched. The company did not say in a news release how much the 150-inch panel will cost.

Panasonic’s other prototypes introduced at CES include a 42-inch panel that uses half the energy but stays as bright as its predecessor, and an ultra-thin 50-inch panel that is less an inch thick, the company said. Both plasma and LCD TVs have been selling well in the U.S. as consumers are switching out their old tube sets so they can watch high-definition TV and movies. Panasonic also said it plans to bring videos from Google Inc.’s YouTube directly to its line of Internet-enabled high-definition plasma TV sets. The new Viera HDTVs also provide access to Google’s photo sharing site, Picasa. Man, this monster wouldn’t even fit in my room!
i would sell my soul for that.
Any takers?

I don't have a wall in my house big enough.

Personally, I think you can only get so big before a TV obnoxious.

I didn't see that at CES, but I wish I had the time to check it out... 150" is huge...

If I win the lottery I'd throw down $70,000 on it... wonder if it's 1080P

70K better have one heck of a guarantee, a beer tap, toilet, and fold down bed cause I might be able to get it but I'd have to live in it. Gaming on it might be pretty awesome though.

Impressive, but why? Might as well go and buy your own home theater, which, at around 300k, isn't all that much more if you think about it.

That's really nice.. But like others said, why should i buy a TV big as that ._. I guess that even 1080p would look bad in it.

if a 103" costs 70,000 i cant possibly imagine how much the 150" will bump it up.

yea.. that TV.

is six-digit figures worth the entertainment.. in theory it hardly has any advantages over an 80 inch. with an 80 inch tv, your closer to it, and so it appears the same size. Wouldnt it be the exact same? lets try a diagram

.....................==|\
........................|#\ <---------- 80 Inch TV, closer toward, smaller height
................:)..==|__\

......................==|\
.........................|#\
.........................|##\ <---------------------- 150 inch TV, farther away, larger height

Actually, you will mount your wall on the tv.
