Company unveils 103-inch, 1,100-pound plasma TV

20 March 2009 17:31 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 12 comments

Company unveils 103-inch, 1,100-pound plasma TV Bang & Olufsen has announced the launch of a giant 103-inch plasma HDTV dubbed the BeoVision 4-103 which will weigh in at a shocking 1,100 pounds when combined with its stand.

The motorized stand reveals a large center channel speaker that is also motorized and the TV angle and rotation can be adjusted via a supplied remote control.

The company says the set uses B&O's BeoSystem 3 stage manager and VisionClear technology that does an auto-adjust of color and brightness levels every 120 hours the TV is in use.

The TV will hit Europe in July with a price of $137,000 USD that includes the free inclusion of the company's $5,377 BeoSound 5 home theater audio system and remote touchscreen remote control.

    I thought the whole point of LCD/plasma was to weigh less and look better......

    :P

    or you could go to an auction and buy a theater projector and save about $60,000.

    either way if your a movie star that can't get enough of yourself, you could buy one i suppose.

    its nice to see that in a difficult economy the Rich & obsessed still have products to blow there millions on as if there 2 McLaren's an 5 Humvees's weren't enough.

    Just think of what it cost in the lab during development :P

    It takes having the extreme enthusiast models being made first then us consumers will get something like ti for a 10th of the price in 5-10 years.

    BTW you been feeling well man? You wit is more biting than normal and not as..well..witty.....

    I think I'll manage fine with my 32" flat screen crt. I really well never buy something like that, even with the money, there are cooler and more useful things to buy.

    What a waist of money. $1.3k for every inch of plamsa display?...If their going to charge that much at least make it an full HD LED/OLED LCD instead. Any buyer is going to be pretty angry when the see the heavy reflections bouncing off of this thing in the daytime.

    My 50" suddenly feels so inferior. Damn, it's that same feeling I got in 7th grade gym class.

    I have a vision of a rather fat middle aged Hollywood exec in California waddling past this early morning on his way to the donut bar when a minor earthquake suddenly strikes resulting in 250 pounds of jam oozing across the floor from a pair of gucci slippers.

    Hmm... I wonder if a smaller version of this will be available as an option in Audi's '09 line up. It would go great with the $6,300 sound system. I mean, its only money, right?

    Joking aside, that thing better have one hell of a picture for 137,000 dollars. I'd also hope it comes with a free pair of sunglasses. I have a 46" Samsung LCD that will perform LASIK if you don't fiddle with the brightness/contrast. Imagine what this thing could do if left to itself. But if anyone picks one of these up, give me a call.

    Good luck taking that in to get repaired. I love my plasma but still do not trust this technology enough to fork out that kind of dough...I spose if I had a few extra $million sitting around it would be similar to my situation of purchasing a sub $1000 plasma.

    For a fraction of the price you could get a projector mounted on the ceiling that will do TWICE that screen size!

    (provided you live in a castle!)

    You can get a house for that amount in today's housing market. Think about the children... ;-)
