Panasonic unveiled a massive 152” all-3D (full 3D), all HDTV, plasma display at CES â€" and it can handle 4k of image data â€" but at a price likely to need a second mortgage and a need to call in builders to strengthen walls and floors to support this beast.

First, the technology on offer is impressive â€" and it goes without saying that the end results are similarly impressive. It uses Panasonic's newly developed, super-efficient, quadruple luminous efficiency technology. Panel illuminating speed is ultra-rapid and this feature allows the 152-inch screen to display high-quality, rapid, 3D content in a resolution of 4,096 x 2,160 pixels (4k x 2k), which is four times the full-HD specification (1,920 x 1,080). Contrast ratio speeds of 5,000,000:1 are claimed.

Panasonic says it will make 2010 the First Year of 3D Television as a springboard to boost its popularity, capitalizing on the company's ability to offer complete end-to-end solutions from professional 3D camcorders and Blu-ray Disc authoring service to consumer use 3D TVs and displays and 3D-enabled Blu-ray Disc players.

Panasonic has not unveiled the price just yet. But it will be expensive!!! Veerry expensive!! Eye-wateringly expensive!! And that’s without the builders’ bill.
