Finally! The last item I needed to complete my fully functional TOS bridge!

I love that photo of Lake Moraine... oh, and the plasma's nice, too.

Wow.. Jenna Jameson on that would be well... wow...

@diverguy: Yea, you'll be able to make out all of the anus acne in glorious 4Kp!

I'm just curious if there is a real market for this, I'm trying to imagine an instance where a really big display is needed and a projector won't do the trick, and neither will a bunch of smaller flat panels, and I got nothing. Just a pissing match I suppose eh? But how thin is it?

i guess getting this up a narrow spiral stairwell would be...troublesome?

How do they get this into a vessel container?

Well, if we are asking all these questions then...

Will it blend?
Does it play Doom?
Is it Blu-Ray exclusive?
Will this tv matter when OLED takes over?

That TV would use more power than all of the homes on my block.

And I still want it.

I can see this headed the way of the iMac (the entire computer inside the monitor). Pretty soon, we'll be able to put our entire home -- a couple of bedrooms, a kitchen -- inside the TV. Count me in.

Yowch but that's a...yowch!

I can imagine many uses for the 150" screen. Some are commercial - some home. Not all of us want a big ugly projector either hanging from our ceiling or the space to embed it in a wall behind to help cover the noise of the fans. Some may just not have the ability to have the wiring installed for a projection unit. Some may prefer the super high res. I'm sure there are many more things than I can dream up in my philosophy, Horatio- it isn't my place to discount the ideas and innovation of others.

The nice thing is that it may pave the way for more 80" and affordable ones many people I know are looking for.

Ah...New and improved! This years vaporware is 46% bigger than last years! (Well, that and if this ever comes to market we'll finally have the video walls from Fahrenheit 451...

@kcm117: Nah, twist your end while I lift. NO I SAID TWIST! TWIST!!

@sfokevin: Folds flat, i mean lies flat. either that or see instructions above.

How would you get this INTO the house? I can't imagine it fits through many a door frame.

Oh...I know...You build the house AROUND it!

So I figure if I save every dime for the next 5 years...scrimping and scrounging and selling my body for sex...I could afford to buy that tv. Then I'd figure out that I didn't have a big enough room to put it in.

Hello, life-size video game characters and video game cars! At last my game characters can be large enough in third-person views to discourage my cat from pawing at the screen; at last they will no longer look small enough for her to catch! Just as soon as I stop being poor and start being rich instead, that is.

Do the fancy-new-electronics-to-pretty-Asian-model mass and volume ratios in that picture seem out of whack to anyone else? Shouldn't there be about twenty or perhaps seventy more models standing around and reclining atop those enormous television sets?

@boe: That's fine; there are plenty of other Gizmodo readers who are happy to discount ideas, innovation, or both in your stead. ;)

You should see what is involved for installation of the 103 inch. It requires a forklift and a crane. I saw the instructions once. It was ridiculous.

The projector and screen you could have at a fifth of the price make this an incredibly stupid choice.

You don't have to have a projector hanging from the ceiling, if a little tiny projector (and they are tiny now) is such a concern. If you have a room large enough to merit a 150" screen, you can certainly build a reaqr projection mirror system, which will still be cheaper than this plasma. It will also use a lot less power and generate a lot less heat, and also be a lot easier to fix if there is ever a problem with it.

I'm buying a 150 incher for my bathroom.

The 150-inch (or several) would be a fun computer monitor.

To everyone asking how you would transport this thing/get in inside: If you can afford the TV, you can afford the demolitions crew/reconstruction of your wall, or you have ballroom doors anyways.

I knew asian women are generally smaller, more petite, and oh so cute and cuddley but this model takes the prize.

Reminds me of the window/wall that was a TV in that Ar-nuld movie.... Total Recall.

I don't think this particular TV is realistic or economical, but I think it's the first step. Hopefully the generation 5 or 6 version will have a reasonable price and in 2020 we'll all be laughing about how we used to agonize about whether to get a 50" or a 58".

Also, imagine the TV stand you have to buy to fit this baby!

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be huge-ass Plasmas Screen TV. Whose gonna do it? Samsung? Sony? Panasonic has a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Projectors and you curse the LCDs. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Panasonics 150" Plasma TVs, while outrageous, probably saved lives. And it's existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want a 46" LCD or Hanging Projector because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want it on that wall, you need it on that wall.

You fools! Those TVs are 36 and 52" respectively. The asian girl is 2 feet tall.

I feel cheated. That is just an elephant baby! Now if you put the parents on, we can talk...

*pants*

@side: FTW!

Even in 1900x1220 pixels will have to be the size of your thumb....

This tv has to get into house right after foundation are laid down. So, tv before the house frames.

BTW, I know people w/ projectors would go as far as 120-130inch, 150inch seemed impractical.

Ah, once again the possibility of seeing Porn in the dimensions I viewed it as a youth. Genitalia big enough to walk into! Yay Tech!

Let's see -- the 103" Panasonic costs slightly less than 70 grand, so the 150" will cost over 100 grand. A friend of my aunt ate nothing but 2 cups of instant noodles a day for a couple years, to buy a house. May be I should do that to buy this TV!

This tv must belong to Frank.
