Would need it's own HVAC system too.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It uses about 1400 watts (I've seen different numbers, not sure which is correct) so it would result in quite a bit of additional power just to run the AC system in warm weather to counter the heat.
There are not a lot of reviews out there for this monitor. I found one that touched on the issues resulting from the size and weight:
>>>Panasonic uses a professional team of AV installers to deliver 103PF9s, but even so it took well over three hours – including an hour with a special ‘interior’ crane – to get the TV installed. And that’s on the ground floor with a door big enough to take the vast box. Any problems of access to where you want the screen to go could potentially add hours to any install – or even present the very realistic prospect of having to get in builders to knock down or reinforce walls.<<<
If you've ever wondered what Michael Ballack might buy with one third of his weekly wage, wonder no more.

Here's another review that mentions the installation issues:
>>>Buying this plasma screen isn’t quite as simple as simply placing your order and waiting for it to arrive. You should allow for a site survey and potential renovations on your installation location. If you’re wall mounting the TH-103PF9UK, we recommend either building the wall to suit or heavily modifying the existing wall to accommodate. This typically entails installing either 6x6 wall studs, or providing for a suspended installation off a structural element in the ceiling and setting it into the wall. You should also provide for access doors on the opposite side of the wall for servicing. The enables easy access to the rear panel in the event of component failure. You do NOT want to have to send this back for service! It’s important to emphasize that the installation procedure can be quite involved and is not to be approached lightly. It’s important to talk to a qualified installer if you are genuinely interested in this product.<<<

There's a video of one from 2015 on YouTube. The picture quality in this video is not impressive, but it's hard to say if this due to the signal to the monitor, etc.
This review mentions that this monitor is not especially bright:
>>>The only significant problem with the 103PF10EK's display capabilities, in fact, is a predicted lack of brightness. Computer graphics and text aren't driven off the screen as potently as they tend to be by smaller (especially LCD) rivals, a potential issue if there's a lot of ambient light around, or the material you want to display is predominantly graphics based. It probably sounds faintly absurd to be suggesting that a 103in screen could ever fail to catch the eye, but the slightly muted look to the 103PF10EK's pictures does prevent PC text and graphics screaming' off the screen as some of you might like them to.<<<
If you want to make a big impression on your clients then this 103in digital display ought to do the trick. But does it have the quality to match its dimensions?

I guess another issue is what happens if it needs servicing? I'd want to investigate, but off hand it seems like there would be quite a bit of risk involved given the time and money that would be required to get it installed.
On the other hand, I found one listed for $500 recently in Garden Grove CA:

It would be interesting to see one of these.
