The prototype, which will be on display at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from Thursday, appears to put Matsu****a slightly ahead of South Korea's Samsung Electronics in an ongoing battle for bragging rights over who can develop the biggest flat TV."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/2006_01_05t090938_450x328_us_japan_matsu****a.jpg" /> <br /><br />Hmmm...that would be roughly four times the size of my 65" set. It should cover most of the wall and would allow for picture-in-picture-in-picture-in-picture. :D Seriously though, no word on whether this would be available in the near future and if so, what the cost would be. But, given that Samsung's 80" plasma goes for $130,000, I don't think I'll be putting one in my shopping cart any time soon.
