LG's 71-inch plasma HDTV

When you have $75 grand to spend on your set and it has to be a thin display, then nothing less than LG's 71-inch plasma will do. Able to display 1080p (yes, progressive scan), it comes with a home theater system, and a digital set-top box for tuning into hi-def broadcasts, but it's only currently available in Korea. If that's just a little bit too rich for your blod, there's always the Panasonic 65-inch plasma, which will only set you back $22,000.

Is it just me, or does that $75,000 set seem a little out of place in that picture?

Uhm, think I'll settle for the 65" plasma and stack the rest of the $49k in my living room, maybe use it as a footrest...

let's see import/tarrif tax, shipping, handling, etc... that $75k is just the tip of the iceburg.

So how many rappers/rock/sports/movie stars will have this?

BTW, you didn't mention this part:

"As if having the world's largest PDP TV in the living room wasn't enough for their customers, LG has painted parts of the TV and the various components with 24-carat gold paint."

Hence the price.

I think I am now dumber after seeing that picture, and actually seeing that someone spent that amount of money on a television. Don't get me wrong HD is awesome. However, $75,000 awesome??? not quite.
