Bang & Olufsen's 103-inch BeoVision 4-103 plasma is gorgeous, pricey

Plasma's dying, huh? Go and tell that to Bang & Olufsen. Just in case the 50- and 65-inch versions of the BeoVision 4 HDTV weren't expansive enough, the high-end home cinema outfitter has just pushed out news of an all new addition: the 103-inch BeoVision 4-103. If that number immediately rings a bell, here's a cookie. The 103-inch Panasonic TH-103PF9 panel is indeed the exact one used here, but B&O has obviously spruced up the design, added an automatic rising stand and incorporated the BeoSystem 3 and the VisionClear technology that automatically adjusts colors and brightness. Oh, and it tossed in a B&O logo, which is darn near priceless. Speaking of stickers, the set should be available this July for around €100,000 ($136,220) pre-VAT. Check the demonstration vid after the break.

[Thanks, John]

Ooh, that looks like it would go well in an AIG executive master bedroom. I wonder if it's wall mountable.

It's great how a B&O put this TV and sound system in the absolute WORST environment for enjoying plasma and surround sound... a cement room with a super bright wall of windows...Brilliant...

Screw the TV. Just give me those BeoLab 5s and I'll be happy.

Plasma?
Why not LED?I have a Sony 55XBR8 and I can tell you that it surpasses plasma big time.
I can see this TV being bought by rich people who do not have any clue about technology and who will only buy it because of the price and will barely use it
