Panasonic's 85-inch plasma screen is $30,000 worth of decadence

For anyone who can live by the credo that money is no obstacle is the way of getting the very best in your life, Panasonic's unveiled the 85-inch TH-85PF12U plasma HDTV. It outputs 1080p — but we'd be honestly surprised if it didn't at this point — and weighs in at 260 pounds, with its main body about 3.9 inches in depth. Price? Well, if you have to ask... it's $30,000 — honestly not that surprising when you consider the years-old 103-inch model is still teetering around $45,000, give or take five grand.
