In a recent article in Forbes, Panasonic has revealed the world's largest television. The television is a 150 inch plasma television that has a 8.84 million pixel image resolution. Its screen is the equivalent of nine 50-inch sets, with an effective viewing area of 11 feet, the company said. It's a step up from Panasonic's 103-inch version, which cost $70,000 when it launched. The company did not say in a news release how much the 150-inch panel will cost.
All I can say is whoa! That is one giant television. In addition to being large, the television along with other televisions sold by Panasonic will be Internet-enabled to directly bring videos from Google's YouTube. I can't imagine spending $100,000 on just a television. This television from Panasonic reminds me of the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451 envisions a future where televisions are as big as walls and hold its viewers captive through shallow shows. Although I do not think our future is headed towards this dystopia, you never know.
