Samsung breaks the 100" barrier with a 102" plasma

AlpineJay · 12-15-2004, 09:10 PM

Apparently 100 inches was widely regarded as the absolute engineering threshold for plasma displays. Well, they apparently broke it, and at 1920x1080 resolution, too:

Puts that 42-incher to shame, huh?

Clifton · 12-16-2004, 02:15 AM

Oh man.. 31337.. what's the price?

ufcrusher · 12-16-2004, 02:20 AM

No link? Wheres the fun in that? All I can say is....I'll take two but I dont think these are suitable for mounting over my bed.

AlpineJay · 12-16-2004, 02:42 AM

The article I initially found was in Korean, but apparently Korea Times did an English article on it: it's not at all technical but gives some info:

Here's another picture for kicks:

Samsung, you just rolled out your new oversized 102-inch display, that’s great, but we’re already having trouble scraping together the $45,000 we’ll need to buy the 80-inch plasma display you came out with a few months ago, so don’t make things any worse for us, ok?

The 80" version costs $45,000.

_=DeltaForce=_ · 12-16-2004, 06:22 PM

ahh I just saw the 102' inch screen and the Price $45000 in the paragraph..

brainsmile · 12-16-2004, 08:24 PM

kimchicowboy · 12-17-2004, 04:28 AM

BrewMaster · 12-17-2004, 09:07 AM

well, considering that 102" is 8.5 feet, I don't think anyone is that tall...

kimchicowboy · 12-18-2004, 09:44 AM

i remember my friend's brother having a huge proscan tv in his house. it had to be bought with the house cuz there's no way it's gonna fit through any of the doors anymore. maybe this one could be tilted. like that one friend's episode as they were moving the sofa down the fire escape. hahaha. classic.

DarkFury · 12-21-2004, 09:55 AM

To only dream of such things.

Airencracken · 12-21-2004, 05:04 PM

Even at $60k it's not too bad for a big trade show screen or a bar that wants the largest TV in town.
