103-inch Plasma TV to Cost $70,000

Panasonic's massive 103-inch plasma television will arrive in time for the holidays in the United States, but it won't come cheap: the TH-103PZ600U carries a retail price of just under $70,000 USD. With a contrast ratio of 4000:1, the display area measures 50.2 inches high and 89.3 inches wide.

The plasma features full high-definition 1080p resolution, and will be available from select high-end retailers starting in December. Professional installation will be required due to the TV's weight and size. "Panasonic's 103-inch display represents the pinnacle of our achievement to date and truly redefines the level of ultimate home entertainment available for the most demanding video connoisseur," remarked Andrew Nelkin, Panasonic's Display Group Vice President.
