松下103英寸超大等离子电视面世

If you're the type who likes to make the Joneses green with envy, then Panasonic has a plasma¹ screen TV for you. At 103 inches, the new high-definition plasma will be the largest flat panel screen on the market when it begins shipping² later this year. Panasonic says the super-sized panel is equivalent in size to 4 50-inch plasma displays. Flat panel televisions typically range in sizes from less than 20 inches to upwards³ of 84 inches. The average size consumers buy is somewhere in the middle depending on their budget. Panasonic says this model, the H103P will run you a cool 70,000 dollars.
