Panasonic has taken large format HDTVs to a completely new level with the launch of the 152-inch TH-152UX1 full HD 3D plasma display. Think about that for a moment.
The TH-152UX1 boasts a massive 4K x 2K (4,096 x 2,160) resolution and 17:9 aspect ratio, promising smooth playback in either 2D or 3D form - and even movies recorded in 24p (i.e. on film - remember when they did that?).
While these screens are obviously targeted towards large enterprises and government agencies, can you imagine have one of these at home? You’d never have to go to a movie theater ever again. In fact, you could probably just open up your own theater in your living room and charge your friends every time they come over.
This might become necessary as these big screens will cost small fortunes. The TH-152UX1 should be available in January 2011, although Panasonic has neglected define a price.
But judging on the prices of the two other screens being launched this December, you might have to sell a kidney as the 103-inch TH-103VX200U and 85-inch TH-85VX200U screen will cost $65,000 and $45,000, respectively.
