damn my tv is basicly half that size, i cant imagine my tv twice its size and watching it, would be like people were acting in your living room or something:1orglaugh

Once again Korea kicks the rest of the world in the nuts in developing new technology. :thumbsup

how much ? I want one

Lol, great looking screen, would be interesting to see it close up though..

Great looking but I heard plasma only lasts 5 yrs not very long .

If they have one at CES in January anyone want to earn a quick $50 to help me carry one out the back door in the chaos at the end of the show? :Graucho

yea,,,5 years if you don't use it:1orglaugh

The cool thing is that it's so expensive it actually comes with the two Korean chicks to hold it up.

damn that's sexy.
tony...can we get it???

yeah the technology is getting better though but I wouldn't but one yet for anything over 5k...

Dam, that's big, just imagine how much that weighs.

I just picked up a little Samsung 26 inch high definition LCD for over my fireplace mantle. It would be about the size of the picture in picture window on that thing.

:1orglaugh

i got one of those in my bathroom.

that looks expensive

I NEED that!

wow

looks like a photochop

I'd be disapointed if sleazy don't buy it

that is hugemongous

Hopefully, just like with most other tech products, the price will go down as time goes by. Maybe... just maybe the ECONOMY OF SCALE and efficiency wrought by such a technology will result in much lower PDP price all around.

looks can be deceiving

I just want the two korean chicks, how much does that cost? :)

That is one bad ass tv - I think I just came

:eyecrazy huge

At that point, and for that price, why not just get a projector and screen for the wall. I got a Panasonic HD projector, replacement bulb, and 105" 16x9 screen for $2100 online. The picture rules, it can display HD (which is awesome), only weighs like 10 lbs, and the bulb can last up to 3000 hours (which for me will last like 2 years) and the replacement bulbs are about $250.

i've seen these in action, they're AMAZING to watch on a 25 foot wall (if you have a wall that big in your living room).... unreal stuff

I want to buy a new TV soon. I 've been debating between a big screen or a projector. I have one wall that really begs to be a theater screen, but I like running news and stuff in the background and I am bad to fall asleep watching TV so I'd probably be burning out bulbs every couple months:1orglaugh

Then again, my last TV was a 32" Sony Trinitron that the picture tube went out the week after the warranty, about the same cost as going through 3 bulbs. Are they a hassle to change? The Panasonic sounds good. I got one of their DVD recorders a few months ago and like it so much they'll definitely be at the top of the list when looking for other video gear. I've had the worst luck with Sony and Magnavox.

so true

Korea is kicking ass

LOL! I want to pay extra for them to hold it while standing in their lingerie!

Yup, Samsung and LG are kicking ass. Sooner Samsung will over take Sony. Samsung is already a leader in Ram and is second place in money making is semiconductors after Intel!!!! :thumbsup

Sony quality is going to shit, too much cost cutting. :2 cents:

I have a HDTV DLP projector 106" screen...this would actually be a downgrade in size compared to my current system, would look nice upstairs though

I'll take 6!

now theres something to replace my 42" with

Besides the TV I've had a 2 Sony camcorders, a CD burner and VCR crap out on me prematurely. I've also gone through a Magnavox camera, VCR, CD player & TV. I'm staying away from both brands for awhile:glugglug

damn, that's huge.

Which is why I married one! :Graucho

Fuck, I need one of these! Damn, it's really huge !

Get a good DLP projector, quality is unbeatable right now. :2 cents:

Bulb change difficulty depends on the projector, one some you can't change it yourself.
