You call that a TV? Now THIS is a TV. One-hundred-and-forty-five inches of pure Panasonic 8K Super Hi Vision resolution power puts every single 4K TV at IFA to shame. Easily. Yes, that’s you Sony.
Created in collaboration with broadcaster NHK, Panasonic shows off the next generation of jaw-dropping televisions, and I think I speak for everyone when I say this is glorious overkill. NHK says that it intends to start Super Hi Vision broadcasts in 2020, so we have a good eight years or so to save up for a television of this calibre. Gimmie. [TechRadar]

I’d probably have to take out a wall to get this thing into my house.
Kudos on the Crocodile Dundee reference.
I haven’t seen Crocodile Dundee (sacrilege, I know!). I just always remember the Simpsons’ (which was referring that, I’m sure!), “You call that a knife? THIS is a knife!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqghpm4gXf4
Ah, classic.
No it’s not, it’s a spoon!
You’re absolutely right.
That is sacrilege.

Almost as big as Barney Stinsons TV
Thing is, by the time 8K broadcasts are mainstream world-wide, WallVision(tm) video wallpaper will be common place. Philips are already working on it. The concept of the stand alone video display/TV will be gone, and video wallpaper and affordable portable projectors and/or roll up AMOLED RollaVision(tm) displays will probably take over.
8 years is about the same time it took for DVDs to take off globally. (I first saw one playing 8 years before they became mainstream in the UK!)
