Panasonic upgrades its 103-inch plasma: sorry, early adopters

by Paul Miller, posted Feb 25th 2008 at 11:20AM

Well, don't you feel silly. After springing for that 103-incher last year, Panasonic has made a mockery of your spendy home theater with a 150-inch display at CES, and now an upgraded version of the original 103-inch behemoth. The new TH-103PF10UK upgrades the video processing, anti-reflective coating, "wireless presentation capabilities," media card reader and adds dual HDMI, but the actual display seems to be the same as last time around. There's also a 100,000 hour warranty included, which is only fitting since we're guessing this new 103-inch won't be selling for much less than $70 grand.

Dual HDMI? Shouldn't this monster have at least 10 HDMI inputs?

Bah, for 90% less you can get a front projector that will give you a picture that's far superior and larger than this. Close the drapes and you're set.

Your "far superior PQ" claim is quite dubious. FP is nice, I have one, but I don't think it's image is necessarily as versatile as a plasma's. Your "close the drapes" comment even suggests this. A plasma can run brighter and it's an emissive rather than reflective technology, so the dark parts of the image can't be so easily washed out by incident light.
