Mister.de writes "NEC Plasma Display Corporation today announced the launch of two 61-inch wide plasma monitors from the PlasmaSync(TM)61XM2+series (a grey bezel model, and a silver bezel model) that are equipped with "Enhanced Split Screen" ability - a high quality, high performance Double Picture function. Sales will commence on February 1st, 2004 to meet various uses mainly in multimedia presentation and public display applications with different release dates for each region. NEC Plasma Display Corporation is targeting 25% of the world commercial market share with its 11 model line up. See the source with picture or Read the Main Specifications." The 1365x768 resolution definitely means this is more TV than Monitor, but who wouldn't want it in their office?

Looks like if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
I want one of these .... by Anonymous Coward · 2004-01-13 01:53 · Score: 4, Funny

... but everytime I mention it to my gf, she keeps telling me that "size isn't important", it's what you _do_ with what you got. She encouraged me to simply do more with what I have. Sigh.
Getting closer to what I'm looking for... by bc90021 · 2004-01-13 01:55 · Score: 4, Funny

...and what was featured in "Back to the Future" (II, I think)...

What I want is a big screen monitor covering the wall that can be divided up into quadrants and can be used to watch multiple channels all at once, with a few quadrants for terminals and some Gnome programs! This brings us one step closer... ;)

WHere do I put it? by apoch2001 · 2004-01-13 01:57 · Score: 5, Funny

A 61" screen is larger than my living room given that home builders think someone can actually survive in a 400sqft hole called 'upscale living condominiums'. Perhaps I can put it on the balcony and use it as a beacon

  Set fire to it and I'll come help defend your condo.

You're mixing English and Metric units. Don't try to watch this TV on Mars.
