For Sale: 152'' 3D TV—Yours for $500 000

The TH-152UX1 is a giant TV, measuring 152 inches (nearly four metres!) from one corner to the other and with a Quad HD resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels.

And if that isn't enough to have you reaching for your credit card (Panasonic are taking orders now), then perhaps the promised contrast ratio of 5 000 000:1 (that's five million to one) might convince you?


If your walls aren't quite big enough, then you can always fall back on the two other models, which offer Full HD on either 85 inches (2.16 metres) or 103 inches (2.62 m).

Panasonic has warned that you'll have to be patient, with the first deliveries starting in the autumn.  Worse still, American and Japanese customers will take priority, and other countries will only get these TVs 'later' or 'soon'.

It's an absolute disgrace, and I won't be ordering one!  Especially now that I've seen how much energy these monster TVs need: 1 150 W for the 85'', 1 350 W for the 103'' and 4 5000 W on the 152''! This last one weighs in at 590 kg too ...
