Looks like 'Back to the Future' Part 2. At the OLD Martys den. COOL.

Why not just go with a projector instead of a plasma that big. I can only imagine how heavy it is and how much power it uses... but it's still very nice.

I suppose, but I guess they wanted to have the biggest tv on the block. Props to them for having such a nice whole house setup, I can only dream of having something that nice one day.

Funny thing is that Kaleidescape is currently illegal after their last court case.

Isn't plasma the one you DONT use for videogaming, because the gauges, and heads up displays and such get burned into the screen?

Not from the last few generations

I was using my plasma for gaming had no problems with it, the problem came into play when my daughter put a baseball through it.

You would have to leave a static image on the screen for a very long time. like days

Hmm, Tv's are usually baseball resistant I thought. Maybe I should test mine real quick to make sure.

You could give this a try.

That seems like a good idea. In fact, it's such a good idea, that I am contemplating not throwing rocks at all my windows and trying to flip my car over to see what happens. Thanks for this new idea!

As 720p doesn't look too great on larger TV's, it seems like on a 103" 1080p wouldn't look too great...

I game like mad on my 50" plasma, sometimes going for 8+ hours on weekends. No burn in.

I wonder if they experienced what I refer to as "size creep"... Hey look at that 60-inch... Oh, there's a 70-inch... Woah... 84-inches.... hm... for only $70,000 more I can get the 103-inch plasma... let's go for it!
