$90,000 103in HDTV

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-a-little-excessive dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Found this review of Panasonic's 103in plasma. Not only is the screen itself massive, but the price tag comes close to $100,000! I guess if you can afford a room big enough to house it, you can afford the TV. "

  1. how about an affordable one instead. by plasmacutter · · Score: 5, Insightful

    seriously, the plasma market is starting to remind me of the travel channel's luxury home shows ("more and more americans are buying homes like these".. yeah right)

    how about a bridge in the gap between teeny tiny (and way too expensive for that size), and "OMG XBOX HUEG" (and out of reach of the average person).

    the "cheap" models at walmart start at 900 and go up from there, and if you actually want color fidelity youre looking at a minimum 1500.

    how long have these flat tvs been on the market? i seem to remember them advertised 8 years ago, so where the heck are the AFFORDABLE ones!

    Wow you can't hang that on a wall, unless you have a wall that can hang a refrigerator.

    Also, my 46" throws off a noticeable amount of heat. This unit might need some custom ventilation.

    HDTV data only goes up to 1920x1080. Any more pixels than that and you're not adding anything to the picture quality, just duplicating or averaging existing data. A screen this large is simply overkill. Heck, you can get the same visual effect by sitting closer to your 40-inch screen.

  4. a much cheaper solution by llZENll · · Score: 2, Insightful

    1) Buy a 50" plasma and sit closer!

    2) Buy 4 42" plasmas for each person in your family so everyone can sit closer.

  5. Re:rear projection - afford the room? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Ummm... my 3 room apartment has enough for our 100inch TV (projector, duh) and my maggie MMG speakers! I wish I could afford this thing (not!)

    Seriously though, 10 grand and you could kill this thing and have it look better with projection.

    And thief proof? ...great so they just smash it and laugh at you... then you have no way of finding them.

    Area Man, is that you?

    I mean seriously. You came all the way to an online forum, clicked on a link to a story about TVs, and took the time to post a comment about how you don't watch TV. ?!?!?
