Default Yesssss!

Matsu****a just announced at CES the development of a huge new plasma tv manufacturing plant, and also that it will begin producing...ta daaaa...103" plasma screen televisions. Now that's what I'm talkin' about. (Unfortunately, it will probably cost you, initially at least, half the value of your home.)

LOL it cencored the company name!

Cool find. Although, a Mitsubishi 82inch Micro display is tempting also..

103 inches?

How are you suppose to bring that home? Don't plasma displays weigh quite a bit already?

Heck no! Try carrying a 36inch tube TV before you complain about a plasma. Atleast Plasma's are easy to get a grip on.

Grip is everything. My 36" Toshiba HD tube weighs over 200 lbs and is near impossible to get a grip on. I dread the day I have to move it again

I wand OLED and SED! What's the big deal about plasma? Yeah, they look good but OLED and SED look better and are said to last longer.

Sweet looking unit, but value for the money - nothing beats a front projector. Frankly I would not buy a plasma at 103" If you want a picture that big, you are much better off with a front projector. It would take up the same amount of space (some would argue less - particularly with a roll-up screen), you can easily move it if needed, and it would be cheaper. Just my 2 cents.

yes, but you need a really dark room for a projector, not so with a plasma or lcd, or dlp, or whatever non front projection system.

Glocksrock makes a valid point about room darkness. I guess there are really expensive projectors that have beaucoup lumens, but you're paying a hefty tag on those, too.

But curiously, a friend and I have been discussing screens. You say a roll up saves space. My friends says that keeping a screen flat and true is of utmost importance and will only use one permanently installed and framed. Does anyone have any input into this issue?
