    Panasonic's 150-inch Life Wall TV going production in 2009



    Although it's impossible to tell without another object in the display box, that's Panasonic's 150-inch TV up there -- here at IFA, intimidating its neighbors. Now get this: this massive plasma sporting a 2,160 X 4,096-pixel (4 times 1080p) Advanced HD display will hit the assembly lines just as soon as Panny's newest factory comes on-line in the May 2009 timeframe. At the moment, the single 150-inch sheet of glass is hand-made and fitted into four of these behemoths currently touring the world. That means 150-inches of goodness could be yours before the year is up. College shmollege, this is quad HD!

    150-inches, for reference, translate to 12ft. 6in. in length and 11ft. in width. Be prepared to have a spare wall to mount this TV on. On the other hand, if it makes you feel better, it's only 1in. from the wall. It may take over the entire wall (hey, that's one less wall to worry about for decor), but it won't invade your living room space. How thoughtful of Panasonic! Also, Panasonic reps commented that homeowners would want to have steel support before mounting the TV. We concur.

    For $150,000, we are not taking any chances. The price isn't official, but industry sources estimate the price to be somewhere in this range noting the $1,000-per-inch price point for comparison.

    The real question is - even if you could afford it, why would you want it from a practicality standpoint? This will definitely help you beat the Jones'. Heck, it'll even help you beat the Gates', Buffett's and everyone else with a "B" in their net worth, until they get one, too, of course. You might as well take the same $150,000, your basement and turn it into a commercial grade home theater with top of the line seating and A/V equipment. Even then, it might just cost you less than $150,000. The Life Screen plasma can't replace the true theater experience.

    Note to Panasonic: Let's shoot for a 200-inch TV next year. Ya know, just for kicks. And free press.

    The 150-inch plasma, dubbed "Life Screen," is now the largest in the world. It boasts 2,000-by-4,000 pixel resolution and is 11 feet wide, or the size of nine 50-inch plasma TVs
