Sir, You appear to have dropped your Jaw.

Tomorrows World appears to have arrived!   I paid a visit to a nearby Curry's on Friday evening to see what its flagship store was like (I've not dared to venture after it opened to much hullabaloo in October).  Its all a very nice setup, with 'islands' of products nicely clustered together, a bit like a department store of old.  Amongst the rows of Computers, Printers, Mobiles, MP3 players and washing machine, they have their TV section.  The section is against the back wall, and is wide enough to fit about 50 42" plasma's along it, plus all the floor based ones.  However, their Pièce de résistance centred right in the middle of the display is this:-

BFT

Yes, its a 103" Telly!   That's 95" x 55" and with a depth of just 5.6"!   The screen area is 89" wide by 50" high, so that's two 42" plasma's next to each other, and a 50" turned on its side.   This thing is VAST!  It was like a wall and in fact would take up a wall on my house.   Now, I'm used to big pictures - I use a projector to watch movies which is a similar size,   but the crispness, clarity and scale of this behemoth just takes your breath away.  I stood there for about 5 mins looking like a slack jawed yokel admiring this beast of technology.

The only downsides?  Well an RRP of £69,995 and the requirement for a specialist installation team to come and fit it.

If you want to come visit it, be sure to checkout Curry's, J9 Wednesbury or if you have a spare £70k to throw down, visit the Panasonic Website for more tech specs.
