Panasonic Ships MASSIVE 11x6 Foot 3D TV

[gosefroba]

how to they get 153 it is 150.3 which

sqrt((11)^2+(6)^2)= 12.5299641 feet

12.5299641 = 150.34.... inches

I am all for big screens for home movie theaters,the 3D for me is not needed. Wall size is one factor but so is sitting distance from the tv screen. A built for purpose home theater would be sweet. Wish i could afford both. As far as mounting it to the wall a in-wall with post style studs and a header at the top & bottom will hold the mounting points weight no problem.

Panasonic's specs put this plasma display at 589.99 kg (1300.7 pounds).

Maximum power consumption of 4500 Watts.

I wonder how Crysis would look on this! Just kidding.

No really, that's one big TV, and in 3D. Can we say "Giggity!"?

 

[welshmousepk]

4500 watts??!?

Jesus, i would hate to see the power bill for one of these.

 

[ushindi]

Estimated to cost around 50 million yen, roughly $500,000 US. Better start saving your spare change...

A small issue: it's 3D capabilities is next to useless now.

While this is huge, and I'm sure the price tag is just as huge. It wouldn't really be to hard to get into a house. Now if you live in apartment that's a different story.

Then again I'm sure if you can actually afford one of these, you probably got a big ass apartment to..

I'm amazed at how many comments I saw about how you'd have to build the house around it, or you'd have trouble finding a wall big enough. I guess this is true if you live in an apartment, but most average sized homes, shouldn't be a problem. I have a room big enough for this set. It's about 20 feet wide and goes back 48 feet covering a family room and kitchen. I could sit back about 25 feet from it. I'm certainly not poor, but rich? Not even close. But I'd imagine lots of people have room for this. Even a 14 x 23 room might be big enough. However, it would be pretty overwhelming picture size. Kind of like being at an imax. But it's resolution allows you to get closer too. Hmm.. I think the real problem is it's price. I read it would cost about $500,000. Now that's absurd.

I think the worst scenario would be to actually order one of these. Get it in your house. Mount it and hook it all up. Switch it on and ........... OMG 5 dead pixels 😱(

At 4500 Watts and 110 volts, it would draw 40.9 amps. A 110v circuit cant supply that. You would have to have 220 volts installed to run it on.

This is ridiculous. Anyone who really wants the theater experience in their house will just use a projector. Two grand can get you an amazing projector that can throw a 100+ inch screen with brightness to boot.

Not quite. My 50" plasma with the stand weighs 80 lbs (panasonic tcp50x1). A 60" plasma is nowhere near 200 lbs. If weight scales linearly with size a 12' tv should be around 250 lbs.

 

[Regulas]

Times like this I wish I was rich. 4096x2160 resolution!
Buy this and build a monster gaming rig with maybe 3 or 4 video cards (I am thinking ATI for scaling even though I have Nvidia for real) in it to play games at their finest. Would need a really cool gaming chair with built in retractable arms for the keyboard and mouse.

 

[sliem]

Gaming rig? How big of a room do you got?
If small/enough: you will need to move your head to look around - not effective.
If big/giant: if you have the money, go for it. Have fun with the electric bill and maintenance cost.

imagine
-your bill breaking roof top and still going up
-porn in 3d. and on a 153" TV too.
-initial investment, probably $ 5K.
-a 153" tv would be which is quite heavy. Get a mobile crane to lift it??
-the life youd be living. a big fukin TV. your own IMAX theater.

I bet you can cook in front of it from all the heat it puts off.

If you follow the path of plag, er, citations, the offiical press release says it has a weight of 590kg... Yikes.

"not too many people are rushing out to buy 3D televisions."

Lets see...
42" Standard HDTV $600 - $800
42" 3D HDTV $3,700,000 - $50,000,000

Obviously I exaggerated a bit but it gets my point across. It's no mystery to me why people aren't buying 3D TV's and screens.

 

[just me]

$500,000 hell houses in Vegas are only costing about $60,000 now THAT IS TOO MUCH!

Good news, if you want to look important you can stand next to your favorate (now life sized) stars and take a picture.

Playing video games just got a whole lot more realistic.

Bad news... If polterguise are real not just you but your whole town will be sucked in... "Don't go into the light!"
