Matsushita have launched the almighty 103 inch Plasma screen capable of running at a nice 1080p resolution. This beast weighs a chunky 473 pounds which means you need a heck of a large empty wall and a very strong wall at that. It’s currently the worlds biggest plasma beating others off the mark by 1 inch. They expect they will make about 5000 a year and we are not sure yet on the price. I would estimate an easy 5 figure sum, maybe a 6 🙂
