Panasonic showcased their 150 inch plasma at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, trumping their puny 103 inch model from last year. Currently they use this sucker for stadiums as a jumbo tron, but pretty soon you can buy one for your living room.
I heard that Panasonic only ships over one at a time because that’s all that will fit on the plane. Look for the next MTV cribs to feature a bunch of these things, with maybe one or two mounted in an Escalade.
Check out the top ten things to do after you buy one of these post-jump.
10. Build a new living room.
Hey, you’d have to. Trust me, this list will get better. Bear with me.
9. Create a drive in movie theater in your backyard.
Charge your neighbors $500 a pop to see “Weekend at Bernie’s.” You’d have to just to recoup the cost of this monster.
8. Watch Basic Instinct and get a huge close up shot of Sharon Stone’s beaver.
The shot you wanted to see in seventh grade. Have barf bags ready. Never watch the movie again after that.
7. Let the astronauts in orbit see Sharon Stone’s beaver.
Hey, they might need some diversions up there, what with the stress of space travel and all.
6. Play the original Duckhunt in your living room, complete with duckblind, pond, and boat.
The ducks would be one giant pixel, but damn that would be sweet. And you could shoot from across the room!
5. Finally get rid of your VCR.
I know you weren’t sure when to do it and were skeptical of the digital age, but now is the time, trust me. Ditch that tape player.
4. For the love of God, use the wrist strap when playing Wii bowling.
I think this doesn’t need any explanation.
3. Browse 130 web pages at once.
Just because you can.
2. Make your druggie friends watch the Super Bowl at your house and look at them scream when the players are “coming to get them.”
Well, the guys on tv would be lifesize, so it might freak them out. Plus, I am running out of ideas.
1. Ruin porn for yourself and anyone watching with you.
Yep, those parts look gross on an 8 foot by 11 foot screen. ‘Nuff said.

Actually, for #1, it would probably make my ex-wife’s rump seem smaller.

You actually can’t play Duck Hunt on a Plasma screen. Trust me. I’ve tried.
January 9th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
What I’d do?
Pop in the Blu-Ray of Planet Earth and see the fun of every habitat larger-than-life style.

“3. Browse 130 web pages at once.

actually… not really pookie…
the resolution isn’t upped just the size… 1080p = 1920×1080 …
hence, unless they up the resolution, you won’t be fitting anymore windows than on most monitors.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Uhh. I guess you didn’t read the specs…try 4096×2160 resolution. It’s a little more than 1080p
January 9th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Sorry booboo, you are wrong. From Toshihiro Sakamoto, the President of Panasonic, “It displays images at a resolution of 2160 by 4096 pixels, four times the resolution of Panasonic’s current high-definition plasma screens, which display images at a 1080-by-1920 pixel resolution.”

the big question is whether your OS or graphics card can even handle a 2160×4096 resolution.
January 10th, 2008 at 9:29 am
ah
forgot
you can also watch “An Inconvenient Truth”

judging his discomfort with sex and girls private parts, the guy who wrote this is a 7th grader, right?

Yes, yes I am.

[...] Aunque la CES ha dejado muchas formas de concebir la televisión: pantallas curvadas o televisión que integra contenidos de Internet -proyecto en el que trabaja Panasonic con Google-, el registro que ha cautivado a la blogosfera es el televisor más grande del mundo fabricado por Panasonic.

You said the list would get better…
And as Luke says, you can’t play the original Duck Hunt on a plasma TV. Its to do with the way the light gun registers targets; it relies on the sequential refresh rate of CRT screens. The gun doesn’t work on plasma or LCD panels, as all pixels are rendered simultaneously.
January 11th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
I am adding one to his list…
11. When everyone else posts in English Language it would be a good indication to do so also.
Don’t worry Pat Sharon Stone Vagina won’t suck you in to the TV.

Haha
First one made me laugh out loud
