A 152-inch HD color television? Could you imagine watching the Super Bowl on this on your house? It would be like you are playing in the game.

This would definitely be where the best Super Bowl house party is at every year!

Shows how arrogant our society is. Wonder if the person who buys this will even feel any remorse if he/she comes across some channel showing homeless people, hungry children, ect...........

Am I wrong, or is the largest TV screen in the world in Cowboys Stadium at Arlington, Texas? It's dimensions are 160 by 72.

The confusion you're experiencing is because of the poorly written article. It does not emphasize that the television in question is the largest OF IT'S KIND. It is certainly NOT the largest television in the world (not even close).

Good morning CBS you guys quoted the 152in 3D plasma TV priced at 500G, Im assuming that you guys are saying $500,000.00 dollars. I Googled the television and this is the article that I found...
Panasonic have revealed a whopping 152 inch 3D Plasma display. This is a gamers dream, and probably always will be with an estimated price of $100,000. It displays full high definition 3D video at super high detail using a 'newly developed ultra-speed drive technology, which ensures that ultimate clarity and intricate 3D details are displayed.

The resolution of the Panasonic TH-152UX1 3D Plasma is an impressive 4096x2160 with an image ratio of 17:9. Panasonic will be releasing for general sale, however, unless you have had a recent windfall and have enough room in your abode to accommodate this luxurious treat, you can dream on.

To cater for those a little less greedy, Panasonic are also introducing a 103 inch model and and 85 inch model too. And you only have to wait until December for these. These will be priced at $45,000 and $65,000 respectively. Bargain!

It clearly states that the television is going to be priced at $45,000 and $65,000. That's a huge difference!

The gamer's dream would have to include a very high end Alienware computer as the resolution in question would bring most systems to their knees instantly.

To be a gamer's dream it would probably also have to come with a vagina since you would likely have no life and ever leave your house.
