Panasonic releases 85-inch plasma display

18 June 2009 19:30 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 7 comments

Panasonic has revealed an 85-inch full HD 1080p plasma display today at the Infocomm show in Florida that is based on the company's NeoPDP technology.

The display is meant for use as an electronic billboard or for business presentations as it lacks TV tuners. The static contrast ratio is 40,000:1 and the dynamic contrast ratio is a large 2,000,000:1.

The panel is 3.9 inches thick and weighs 287 pounds.

Inputs and outputs include DVI, Ethernet, and dual-link HD-SDI.

Although unconfirmed, rumor has it Panasonic is developing a 150-inch plasma display as well, one that will include TV tuners.

There was no word on price but expect it to top $50,000 USD.

For that amount of money i would want a tv tuner inside. This is aimed mainly for the corporate world and nothing else. [ + quote]

I don't know why you are concerned that this set doesn't have tuners. Every cable TV customer in North America who bought a new TV in the last 5 years has a digital cable tuner they can't possibly use. Everybody on cable should be buying monitors instead of TV sets with digital tuners they can't use. [ + quote]
