Though it lacks audio, it is truly a multi-function device, as it can provide all the lighting you'll ever need in your TV room, all from one outlet, no extra cabling needed in the walls! AND it'll heat your house, so you'll never need to spend a dime on heating anymore!

You don't need any house lights after buying that.

@seyo: San Andreas? Damn bro, that's getting pretty long in the tooth.

I'd hope for some um, true hi-def content to get played on that set. Not some 3 year old PS2 game.

The 300 HD DVD would have been alright I bet ...

Hey, why not use a 1,000 usd proyector on a 200in white board?

Or, better yet, a projector.

Then, with the 69,000 usd left over, you can go buy a car or two. Or even three.

If you want to buy what could be more or less considered a 50-inch version of it-screen wise one quarter of the area-you'd pay just $2,100 at Amazon.

Or pay $1350 @ TigerDirect.

This little brother plasma has gotten great reviews, so I'm sure the 103" is nothing short of dazzling.

Now all I need to figure out is how to put 4 of em together to get 103" of screen area...for ~1/7th the price.

i hope the "proyector fanboys" dont try troll this post with "why not use a 1,000 usd proyector on a 200in white board"....

because its garbage!!! this 103" LCD does not need a dark room, nor a huge distance to the proyection screen to get 100+ in.

If proyectors are so convenient, why does people buy $1,700 40in LCD or maybe $3,000 52in LCD, they should use a $500 proyector on a 60in screen right?... nooo because is garbage!!! got it? nice!

now.. swallow this

whats funny is that the dime test shows that the pixels are about as large as they are in a 15 inch sd tv I have.

@Windhawk: My in-box is full of friendly proposals offering three more inches for a whole lot less.

@Windhawk:
If you are going by raw surface area, it should be roughly $10k (four times the surface area). But that doesn't take into consideration the waaaaay lower yield these TVs have pure unit of raw materials, etc.

Plus, let's face it, its a super luxury item, so let Panny eat all the money it can :).

If a 50" plasma costs $2500... shouldn't a 100" plasma cost $5000?

This 103" plasma costs $70,000. That's a huge premium for just three more inches.
