Panasonic President Toshihiro Sakamoto kicked off the first official day of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) here with a slew of announcements, including a 150-inch plasma TV.
The 150-inch plasma, dubbed "Life Screen," is now the largest in the world. It boasts 2,000-by-4,000 pixel resolution and is 11 feet wide, or the size of nine 50-inch plasma TVs, Sakamoto said. It features an 8.84 million pixel image resolution.
Two years ago, Panasonic unveiled a 103-inch plasma TV that was, at the time, the largest available plasma TV. It sold 3,000 of the 103-inch plasmas in 2007, Sakamoto said. "Even I was amazed," he said.
He did not announce any pricing information, though the 103-inch plasma retails for $70,000, and reports have put the 150-inch version in the $100,000 range.
