Seriously. What's with our obsession with incredibly huge sets, when you can project the same image in HD for a fraction of the price, and scale the size.

...

Call me odd though, I guess being able to watch it in BROAD daylight outweighs the HUGE price.

Read the linky before going all ZOMYGOD Corporate America is trying to eat my brains.]]>Dec 7th 2006 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/panasonics-th-103pf9uk-103-inch-plasma-now-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/panasonics-th-103pf9uk-103-inch-plasma-now-shipping/
I just did some math. Assuming $5000 is the practical limit of what I could pay for a TV before my wife kills me, and assuming this thing drops in price by 20% per year, AND assuming inflation of 3% per year increases that concept of the most I would pay...

I'm getting me one of these for Christmas in 2016!

(And by then, I'm hoping half the stations I watch will have upgraded to HD/widescreen as well.)

There is a picture quality difference between the consumer series and professional series. There is no tuner or audio output from the pro series (in any board).

You can buy that 50" panasonic professional from visual apex shipped to your door with the HDMI board and component/composite etc board for 2100 USD with a five year warranty.]]>Dec 8th 2006 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/panasonics-th-103pf9uk-103-inch-plasma-now-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/panasonics-th-103pf9uk-103-inch-plasma-now-shipping/Dec 7th 2006 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/panasonics-th-103pf9uk-103-inch-plasma-now-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/panasonics-th-103pf9uk-103-inch-plasma-now-shipping/Number of pixels: 2073600
