A 150-inch high-definition plasma TV unveiled by Panasonic is the world’s largest to date, the Japanese consumer electronics company claimed Monday.

• The plasma panel features an 8.84 million pixel image resolution.

• Its screen is the equivalent of nine 50-inch sets, with an effective viewing area of 11 feet, the company said.

• It’s a step up from Panasonic’s 103-inch version, which cost $70,000 when it launched.

The company did not say how much the 150-inch panel will cost.

Panasonic also said it plans to bring videos from Google’s YouTube directly to its line of Internet-enabled high-definition plasma TV sets. The new Viera HDTVs also provide access to Google’s photo sharing site, Picasa.

Yuck. One has no desire to see the greasy pores and nose hairs of TV Stars.

true, I can see the Playboy Mansion getting a make over.

But it's a lot cheaper just to sit closer to the tv you already have.

And anyway! Save your tv-purchasing dollars for OLED sets. Really.

Maybe, but then I cannot......fully participate.

Not that close!

I love the pictures on plasma TV but understand they only have a life of about 10,000 hours nbecause of all the heat they generate. I just looked at a 60" and it was $7,000 That's a lot of money for something that doesn't live that long. Can't get them repaired as all these new tvs are throw aways.

Have a new LCD TV, it's ok but not compleely crystal clear.

I wanted a DLP but understand they are best operated in a dark room.

And am now hearing about the new LED that are really supposed to be something.
