[[ih]Demetris]

Ok this thing is a monster..i would love to have one if i could afford it..heres a pic of this monster here:

If you had the funds would you spring for one? Just curious to see how many tv fanatics we have lurking around these parts.

How much is it? I think it's a realistic idea seeing as projectors are somewhat expensive and deliver a very average picture, and an LCD would be perfectly crisp. Also no need for replacing bulbs, and no need to buy a screen, projector mount, etc.

I have a 120" screen, but it's not LCD. LCD screen that size is crazy!

Panasonic do a 103 inch plasma. it is £50,000 at John Lewsi (including installation at around £5000) so it's around £45,000 ($90,000 approx.)

I would think Sharps one would be more expensive as it's LCD, people prefer LCD, well i do.. I reckon in a few months they'll be doing even bigger, always gets bigger and better and far more expensive! lol

 

[[ih]Demetris]

they didnt mention a price on it as of yet so that has to be a sign of how much it will cost..lol i can only imagine the price though considering the are releasing a blue-ray player thats going to runn close to 1,200 bucks. heres more detailed news on this baby.

so it's around £45,000 ($90,000 approx.)

A projector with a similar picture quality would cost ~10K (Marantz VP12S4)

It's still cheaper to get a pj if you want a huge screen. Until those huge LCD's drop by almost 75% I'll be a happy pj customer

I don't think Id be able to get a 108" TV through my door.

 

[fireshark]

Projectors are still the preferred way to get super huge images.

And I thought plasma was more popular than LCD?

That's what I was thinking how the hell can it fit through the door let alone throug the house!

 

[AvailNetworks]

108" would be nice but having the room for it to properly display would be another thing. Of course if you can afford the tv you can afford to have a room that big

I am getting ready to buy a 37" lcd, thats good enough for me!

I was talking about this yesterday... hehe, it'd be awesome to get! Just a bit out of my range right now :lol:

Plasma's aren't as good quality as LCD though. Very blurry.

 

[Keagle]

And can't Plasma's leave burns?

The US version is around seventy grand, not ninety.

Yeah they can burn alot faster than a LCD..i prefer LCD but until my budget increases i wont be getting a new one..lol

 

[fireshark]

Yes plasmas to leave burns...mine has them already.. stupid overseas TV..

 

[Wojtek]

Get a rear projected dlp tv.
no burns and no dead pixels Although slightly fatter, but I wouldn't care at all.

 

[AvailNetworks]

can't hang a dlp above the fireplace though! About the only thing to deal with on dlp is replacing the lamp every now and again.

I think right about now LCD has got the market cornered. I think I am going to replace the 27" TV in my bedroom I have had since 1994 with a LCD also

 

[Wojtek]

can't hang a dlp above the fireplace though!

But you're not supposed to install any tv over a fireplace, it gets hot there
