Huge Consumer Plasma TV Screens Just Got Bigger
Panasonic has released it’s biggest consumer TV to date. This massive TV has an 103 inch display! That’s equal to more than four, fifty inch TV’s! Why would you ever go the movies again? Well….because it’s very expensive at about $51,000. And be warned, it’s heavy.
It does not have a built in TV tuner so you would need a high definition receiver, but it does have 4 HDMI ports instead of the usual two. This is a plasma screen not an LED.
Features:
• Full HD pixel resolution of 1,920 horizontal x 1,080 vertical
• Industry’s leading 16-bit processing to produces 4,096 steps of gradation
• Contrast ratio of up to 4,000:1 to reproduce exceptionally deep, rich blacks
• Effective display area is approximately 89″ wide by 50″ high
• Supports 1080/60p/50p, 1080/60i/50i/24p/24sF/25p/30p, 1080/50i, 720/60p/50p, 480/60i/p, and 575/50i/p video signals
• Advanced Dual Picture mode to overlay a video image onto a full-screen PC image
• Expanded configurations for multi-screen displays and the ability to enlarge an image up to 4X vertically and horizontally
• Three interchangeable slots and comes standard with the TY-FB9DD DVI board (compatible with UXGA input), TY-42TM6A analog component board, an integrated D-sub15 PC Input, and an integrated D-sub9 RS-232C interface

This is a great review, thanks. Makes me want one, though I just got a smaller flatscreen tv recently and I doubt wifey will let me upgrade!

Ha! Just get an Ally PTV01B projector off eBay for $250, and get a nice screen for it. Portable, 100″ projection size, bulbs are cheap to replace.
It’s crazy paying 1000’s for these monster TV’s.

Wow, that is one big Plasma TV. I always how the picture qualityis for something that big. Even with 1080p, would the picture quality be that great. Would love to see one outside and see. In any case, I wouldn’t have any place to put it at my place anyway.

I would LOVE to have this plasma screen, unfortunately the price of the TV costs more than everything I own. I would love to watch a football game in HiDef on this thing!

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.

Why not just go with a front projection screen and a projector?
Pioneer Elite Projector: $6000
Stewart Screen 133″: $2000
