Panasonic 152'' 3D Plasma HDTV is Dreamworthy
Sweet dreams are made of these.
Ever wanted a massive wall of plasma TV? Panasonic has been the answer with its 150-inch plasma TV since its reveal at CES of 2008.
Panasonic is rolling out a new model at CES 2010, adding a couple of inches more. Yes, that's right, there's a 152-inch plasma TV from Panasonic for this year – and it's not only bigger, it knows new tricks.
Just like the previous model, this new152-inch display features a 4K x 2K definition Full HD plasma display. What's new, however, is that it'll be capable of 3D. The display features a new plasma display panel (PDP) Panasonic developed with its new "super-efficient quadruple luminous efficiency technology," which enhances PDP’s unique advantages as a self-illuminating device.
According to Panasonic:
Self-illuminating plasma panels offer excellent response to moving images with full movition picture resolution3), making them suitable for rapid 3D image display. By employing the newly-developed ultra high-speed 3D drive technology, which adopts the super-efficient quadruple luminous efficiency technology, the new panel achieves a higher illuminating speed, about one fourth the speed of conventional Full HD panels4). This technology enables high-quality Full HD 3D display on the ultra large 152-inch 4K x 2K (4,096 x 2,160 pixels) panel.
The panel also incorporates a crosstalk reduction technology, essential for producing clear 3D images.
How much is the ultra-large 152-inch Full HD 3D PDP, we're not sure yet, but if you have to ask… perhaps you should consider the 50-inch Class Full HD 3D PDP that will also hit later this year. Pricing for both are still unannounced.

Will that even fit through a normal door?!
are...but is that all sweet dreams are made of?
...in the voice of Dr. Evil...one-thousand-dollars! muah ha ha
If I won the lottery this would be my very first purchase, second would be a 2010 F150 SVT Raptor, third would be a nice house to put them in.
Forget about the price, at this size, I just have to ask how a unit like this is better than a projector? This thing probably weighs a good bit, but its dimensions make it extremely difficult to get into a building. I am pretty sure you will have to cut a hole in the wall. I know projectors only work well in low lit rooms, but that is what theater rooms are for and that is the only use I see for a screen like this. I'm not going to having something like this in a living room, it just takes up too much space.
Most importantly, I can just see someone either accidentally hitting the screen or falling on it and permanently ruining it. No such worries with a projector.
Holy cow!...grab 3 for some ATI Eyefinity action.
This thing probably needs its own 15 amp breaker...whoa..

The asian girl next to it is probably kind of short, so there is a good chance it will just fit.

House first to put the TV somewhere, truck second to get the TV home, then the TV. Gotta think logistics of getting that TV.
Wow, install that on an exterior wall of your house, the radiant heat might cause issues otherwise. Heck, install it AS an exterior wall of your house, big as that sucker is.
TVs are quickly out-pacing the resolution of the video images they are displaying. 4096x2160? Clearly its intended as a display for businesses or something.
I remember my uncle buying a big 64-inch rear-projection TV. The thing was enormous and had a really good picture, but only supported Component video, no HDMI (nor did it include a digital TV receiver). Since hi-def blu-ray requires HDMI, the thing was basically just an expensive waste (though he was able to find a hi-def digital TV receiver that had component output). My point is, by the time this TV's specs can be realized, it will be real old and probably won't have the proper inputs to work properly.
Based on a 16:9 ratio the height of the display area itself is just under 74.5". Most doorways are 80" tall. That would be a tight fit.
Why couldn't this just be the wall (all the walls) of my house? I could virtually be outside, virtually be in Hawaii, and many other unmentionable places.
Nope...just waiting for the LED lamp 1080p HDTV projectors.
First ones are out at about $15K-20K already.
When the price drops below $2K, I'm in.
Same sort of picture size in a box that you can fit on a small book shelf (and carry around in a large brief case) - that won't blow its light source every 3 to 4,000 hours, run up my electric bill as much as running the furnace, or set the wiring on fire.
Not to mention not needing a hoist or risking a bunch of beer-swilling buddies dropping it trying to hang the darn thing!!
I think i just nerdgasmed. First i'd need a house that could fit it 0.0
152", 4k resolution, I'm in!
I'd tear out my walls with my damned fingernails to put this thing in my house if I had to.
Plus, I could also sell my furnace to help pay for the cost, because this thing would generate enough heat to keep my house warm on even the coldest Canadian winter nights! (And that Panasonic's Plasmas have higher power consumption than their Samsung competitors.)
Introducing the next generation of porn... get the fully integrated 3d experience. I'm in!

Patience, my friend. Only a matter of time.
imagine porn on that, one nipple the size of your car...
Like bayouboy says, at this size a projector would surely be a better idea. Or two projectors for 3D. As much as the 4k resolution is great and all (although if the screen is 16:9 then it means those are rectangular pixels which would suck), no films outside of IMAX theatres are sold at that resolution and even the most powerful quad-crossfire gaming PC could run all games at that resolution - especially not in 3D. A better option would be to buy two high end bright projectors, two polarising filters and a pair (or more) of polarised glasses. Add in the right PC hardware and you'll be blasting away in 3D games and watching 3D films at 1080p in no time and at a fraction of the cost. That's what I would do if I won the lottery!
My HD projector was only 1200. Granted it's only a 106" screen and half the rez, but for what this is gonna cost, I'll stick with the projector!
This wouldn't make Conan of Cimmeria's top 3.
I did some searching and checked out about how much it will cost...
IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAANNND!!!!
O M F G!!!!
I use to think it was insane that Panasonic had like a 85" Plasma.
As for this....
Words cannot express.
what i wanna know is how many ports it has.lol
next thing u know it comes with like one s video port and one composite.lol
Is there even a consumer device that can drive a 4kx2k screen? I thought 2560x1600 was about the end of the road for video cards...
This tv gives me wood
Some guy wins the lottery and he wants to buy a Ford truck? WTF is wrong with people on this planet
I did some searching and checked out about how much it will cost...IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAANNND!!!!
so? I remember when a 42" was $11,000. You ask me, 9K for something this huge is a bargain!
House first to put the TV somewhere, truck second to get the TV home, then the TV. Gotta think logistics of getting that TV.
Nah. You are right about the logistics... but think about it. You gotta buy a house to fit a tv that big. lol. So you buy the TV. THen park the truck in front of it, facing it like at a drive in. then you build the house around the both of them to suit their needs!
are speakers built in?
Hell that Tv....or should I say computer monitor would even make Windows xp look good! But in all seriousness I couldn't imagine having 3 of these for Eyefinity, that would be surround vision. I mean you could enclose a whole room in a few of these things!
"the super-efficient quadruple luminous efficiency technology"
I love reading Japanese tech marketing. What the hell does it mean? Next time I need to do some creative writing I know where I'm going for ideas!
Don't think I can sell the wife on this one...
