Top ten things to do with your big ass TV

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.

You actually can’t play Duck Hunt on a Plasma screen. Trust me. I’ve tried.

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.

Uhh. I guess you didn’t read the specstry 4096×2160 resolution. It’s a little more than 1080p

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.

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

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.

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.

I have the chance of geteting a 60in Plasma Today, the problem is if i waited another 3 Months i could get a 1080P 60in instead of the 720p, I searched through most of my PS3 games & mojority were 720 with a few exceptions, i don’t watch a lot of bluy-rays yet, & have a small 1080p just incase, plus my PC does more HD than my Console at the moment..Again i could wait untill the end of the year & get a 65in Plasma 1080p Or should i just buy the 60in 720p set & sell & upgrade as and when needed cause it all help me raise half the money needed for my next one..

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