Panasonic showed off their new 65" high-definition plasma television in Tokyo yesterday. They go on sale in November in Japan for less than 1 million yen (US$9,072).

Ahaaarrrr!

Gimmie the babe


Speaking of TV's, years ago there was talk of implementing televisions with some sort of chip so when the local cable, satellite, or OTA station issues an EAS (Emergency Alert Signal), it would turn the tv on by itself so anyone at home can hear the warning. One of the main reasons this was being done was the number of deaths and injuries from nighttime tornadoes. What ever happened to this idea, was it scrapped?

Who watches tv anyway these days? I don't.

Well I must admit I watched a fear factor rerun last night. Only thing I saw on tv this whole week.

Don't Plasma TV's have a life of about five years or so?
Aren't LCD's better?

Plasmas has less ghosting unless you buy really expencive LCD's and they are far better at displaying black/dark colours.

Oh... and cheaper

65" Is way too big for any ordinary living room. Nothing more irritating than watching a too big TV. If you cannot focus on the whole screen, your eyes will get tired real fast, and it may be harfmul in the long run. For example a 32" is absolute maximum for my tiny 25m2 flat.

Yeah...

Gets grainy too when the resolution is too low for such a large screen.

LCD's and Plasmas are really not good enough for me yet. Best picture i have ever seen was a 32 inch flat CRT widescreen. Cant wait for the Samsung HD model that is due out these days. The missus has allowed me to get one, and it wont set us back that much either. Yum!

Bah 32" is way too small for a decent livingroom. My livingroom is 12 meters long, I have a 32" crt at the moment and it looks like a postage stamp on the back wall.

Earlier it was in a 18m2 room and even there it was so and so.

The 150" image that I get from my projector, however, is more like the way it should be. ;)

If i was a rich fella or lived in a barn and had 12 meters from one end to another then 32" would be too small.

I watch movies... I have a 62" tv.  It might be too big for regular tv but.... who watches tv shows?  In DVD's you only watch a prtion of the screen... on a 32" TV you can't even see what is going on when the top and bottom have a 10" stripe... reall meaning to "letterbox".  When I buy a HDTV it will be a 62" mitsubishi like the one I have only in HDTV and DLP.
