Panasonic's 150-inch Life Wall TV going production in 2009

Although it's impossible to tell without another object in the display box, that's Panasonic's 150-inch TV up there -- here at IFA, intimidating its neighbors. Now get this: this massive plasma sporting a 2,160 X 4,096-pixel (4 times 1080p) Advanced HD display will hit the assembly lines just as soon as Panny's newest factory comes on-line in the May 2009 timeframe. At the moment, the single 150-inch sheet of glass is hand-made and fitted into four of these behemoths currently touring the world. That means 150-inches of goodness could be yours before the year is up. College shmollege, this is quad HD!

But now if you own a sportsbar, this could be something to wait for... We'll let you know how it works at ours! Irish Cue Lake Norman!

comes with built in central heating. Seriously, this thing will produce some heat. Really can't see its place in the domestic market.

People lets just think here- who the hell has a big enough door to get this inside?!
and plus- No current method of media transport is capable to bring in visuals at QuadHD resolution....which means this thing must have a huge upscaler....adding to the collasal size
this product is sooo wrong on soo many levels

Don't worry about the door, included in the nominal price, you also get a bucket of steam and a door stretcher.

Does anybody know the title of the painting that is shown on the plasma?
I was looking for it as a wallpaper...

Can anybody help?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 1st 2008 7:06PM]

I don't think it is a painting... it looks like a decoarative rug.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 3rd 2008 9:05AM]

i just want this thing......... by the way what's the contrast of this tv?

[WarpedMind Posted Sep 4th 2008 3:18PM]

The question is...

Is it portable?

Huh?

Well, is it? IS IT?!!!?!?!!

:-)

(I'm just kidding people... so don't flame yours truly.)

I'm thinking about getting this as my pc monitor. I might get two, so I can have some side by side action. You can never have too much desktop real estate, yo.

the pixels are the same size as a current 1080p tv.
since its wider and taller, the pixel count goes up, on both the horizontal and the vertical

Really nice!!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 7th 2008 11:50AM]

What are the chances I can get that in red?

[serialtoon Posted Sep 8th 2008 12:33AM]

Holy shiiiiizzzle thats HUGE!

And it doubles as a tanning bed, too! Hey, the economy's bad. You gotta save $ somehow.

for some reason - there are images from my own imagination - fired and fueled by the descriptions in Fahrenheit 451
the Parlour Walls with their floor to ceiling televisions with which the audience was invited to participate in the on screen activity - dependent on the amount of box tops submitted -
it all seemed so unreal then- when it was first published in the 1950s
and today as i just learned to use the writing capable Touch Diamond cell phone screen i lay in my bed dreaming of touch screen desk top computer - no longer will i be clicking with my right hand slung below the desk -
the advantage of my desire for the touch pad mouse-
advance on you people who do such wild and wonderful things with your minds -
i simply desire to write the tale as it unfolds

Better get this with free installation cause I don't wanna end paying for a crane to demolish the wall, 6 guys to put the bloody thing in and then repairing back the wall.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 15th 2008 10:22PM]

Yes, I am getting this, and quitting college directly after.

I guess I've got about 8 months to convince my wife that we need a 150" tv.
