Stuff says
A 103in HD TV sounds like a gift for your eyeballs, but despite the humungous size and the clear, colourful picture this Panasonic has to offer, for the same money we’d still plump for a top-quality projector and all the gubbins to go with it

Let’s be frank, you’re not going to be popping down to your local Comet
to pick up one of these babies for your front room anytime soon, and
neither are we.
Behold the behemoth
Yet its allure is impossible to resist. Sit cross-legged in front of
it, gazing up in awe at the hockey pitch-sized screen and you’ll find
it speaks directly to your gadget-loving soul.
It arrived in the most impressive looking flight case you’ve ever seen
and it didn’t disappoint once we’d seen it in the flesh – all 345kg of
it (including the mammoth floorstanding pedestal).
At £50,000, the TH-103PX600 prices itself out of the reach of most
people’s wallets – and at 2.3m wide and 1.2m high, it certainly sizes
itself out of most people’s homes.
There’s something almost malevolent about its bulk, and you can’t
escape the feeling that if you allowed it into your home it would take
control and you’d end up subservient to it – scrimping and saving to
please it with offerings of expensive AV equipment.
