huge,huge, huge! It is also very thin, I was surprised. the show they had displaying on it was AMAZING, they said it retailed for 102,000$.

And FWIW, our pre-order price is only $70k :D

look at that, it went down 30k~~ after a year.

It was more an example, with technology, it about 3 years time, new technology will have come out making that tv a thing of the past with better features out for the newer one. That tv weighs 770lbs, not an easy thing to go move around, and really once you get something that big, that weighs that much, you had better plan on keeping it for a very long time, and again if it breaks, you cant go throw it in your trunk and haul it to go get worked on, which means you will have stinky techs walking through your home tracking mud and dirt and grime all over you carpets, and making a hell of mess while they try to work on it.

I find funny is how people bitched how crt tvs were so bulky and heavy, and how lcd is so much better because it is lighter, and can hang on a wall, can move it around, and place them virtually anywhere you wanted, this thing, if your lucky enough to get it in your home, once its in, its in unless you hire a team of movers and a crane to come move it around for you. Kinda a step backwards, if you ask me from all the people who bitched about how bad a regular crt tv was, and now this thing :p

And again, for $148,785 usd, that thing better come with one hell of a warranty, a 15 year movers clause, free removal and waste recycle when it is broken and cannot be fixed, and some free unlimited upgrades for life.

Since this is not a TV meant for an average person, all of your concerns/comments are really not applicable. I'd expect the purchaser of such a TV would be able to change TV's whenever they felt the time was necessary. I can't imagine the logistics would be much of a concern.
