Old News: Panasonic 150 inch television
"A high-tech tradition is about to come grinding to a halt: There won't be a new record set for "largest TV on earth" at this January's Consumer Electronics Show. Panasonic's 150-inch plasma television, unveiled last year at the show, is almost certain to retain its title as the largest TV on earth. "
Oh... my... goodness...
I'm having trouble picturing this in my head. As a servicer, I've stood fully inside the cabinet of an extremely large television. This was maybe 10 years ago, and it was a ridiculous monster of a wooden cabinet.
But 150 inches? Any bigger, and I can't imagine the impracticality of delivering this to a customer. Are they going to build it inside the home? Construct the home around it?
This is NOT the future of television, frankly.
The TV of the future will be rolled up in a tube, delivered to the home, rolled out onto the wall and plugged in. See OLED if you want to see what's coming.
