"For centuries, people have come together as friends and families. It's the HOME. You spend time there, and its connected. We get it! In addition, there are pics showing different interpretations of the home, from a family in an igloo in Alaska to a WASPy family cuddling together on the beach," President of Panasonic AVC Networks, said Toshihiro Sakamoto at the moment of International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Las Vegas, January 7-10, 2008.

The new TV boasts four times better resolution than full high-definition 1080p picture quality and offers a screen the size of nine 50-inch plasma televisions. It also weighs around 1,500 pounds.

It's the "World's Largest Flat Panel," which they call the Life Screen. And it's not just about size, it's about a "new level of image quality." It has 4 times the resolution of their current display, and even though I'm more than 20 feet away, it looks impressive. One caveat with this presentation: They should have used Tatiana the tiger from the San Francisco Zoo, it would definitely raise a hair or two.

Panasonic states that the 150-inch plasma is probably going to be best used for billboards and other displays, meaning that it will not likely be sitting in your living room any time soon. The 150-inch plasma TV will be ready to roll in 2009.

The 150-inch plasma TV, dubbed "Life Screen," is now the largest in the world. It boasts 2,000-by-4,000 pixel resolution and is 11 feet wide. "It's capable of an amazing picture that is four times the resolution of our current full HD plasma displays," Sakamoto said. "It gives new meaning to the words reality TV."

It was noted that for a 150-inch TV, to put it into perspective, you would have to sit 30 feet away in order to get the best picture quality. This compares to 12 feet away for a 60-inch screen.
