I have a potential customer (good referral) for a dedicated theater. They saw a new SONY 71" RPTV in Vegas (CES?) and have supposedly contracted to purchase one.

They tell me that they were told this unit will ship direct to them and that SONY personnel will, and must, install it.

Anyone have any info on this beast?

Apparently wherever it was that they saw this thing, it was really set up well, since the picture quality was "over the top".

This is the SXRD set. you must be a Sony XBR dealer to get this piece or be the qualia store. I tried to get two for a customer and they would not sell them to me.

I have a guy that imports direct from the orient. He called the other day an asked if I needed a 107" plasma. For the bargain price of 65k. He has a few 84" that he is trying to sell to the Olympic committee. It will split into 4 42" screens, he thinks it would be pretty cool to have 2 events showing and then medal counts and standings. He is also trying to market them to airports for ins and outs.

Shadowman,

Is that the 84" Akira model you are talking about? We used one and will not touch one again. The 232 control was a nightmare, but after numerous contacts with their California office we did get it working.

Has anyone been able to get anything out of Samsung in regards to their 80"? If anyone has any info on that I would appreciate hearing them. We have tried to contact Samsung and have failed. If anyone has a contact name inside Samsung that can help us get some information I would love to have that info.

Thanks,
Ben

Is that 107" part of NEC's videowall system? I heard somewhere that there was a 103" plasma, but have not found any hard evidence on it.

Why are manufacturers even building these beasts? ... 60+/-" plasma ... OK ... Beyond that ... gotta go to a 2 piece system if I'm designing it ...

A proper billionaire bachelor would have at least 3 ferrari's and a seperate garage just for them.
