Anyone else seen this yet? I didn't see a thread.

"LAS VEGAS - Japanese electronics conglomerate Matsushita Electric Industrial on Monday introduced a 150-inch plasma television, which it says is the world's biggest.

The new TV boasts four times better resolution than full high-definition 1080p picture quality and offers a screen the size of nine 50-inch plasma televisions. It was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas by Toshihiro Sakamoto, president of Panasonic AVC Networks.

Matsushita's new screen, at 12-1/2 feet when measured diagonally, tops the Panasonic brand maker's 103-inch plasma TV released last year. The 103-inch television has sold 3,000 units over the last year, Matsushita said."

I'm amazed they sold 3,000 of the 103'' models.

I'm sort of excited about this though (even though I'm sure TWC will never jump on board): "Matsushita, the world's largest consumer electronics maker, also partnered with U.S. cable provider Comcast to develop a new set-top box that detaches from its docking station to work as a portable video player to show recorded TV programs.

The portable DVR/DVD player, which comes with a 60-gigabyte of recording storage and a docking station, will be available starting in early 2009."

So basically you can get your very own jumbotron built into your mansion.

It's safe to assume this would not affect me.
