OK, so you’ve just won the lottery. You’ve already bought yourself a £5 million pound mansion, plus a Bugatti Veyron to fill that garage, but what do you buy next? A colossal £600,000 152-inch ultra HD (4K) plasma TV for your massive living room wall, of course.
You think I’m kidding, but right now you can buy the Panasonic TH-152UX1W direct from Costco for the princely sum of £599,999.89. For your money you get a compulsory site survey (this thing is not going to be light), a specialist logistics package, and a four-man installation team. It comes with a five-year maintenance contract too, but unfortunately it could take up to five months to deliver. Ouch.
Still, the panel comes packing that UHD res, a 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, motion smoothing, 3D 24p movie enhancer, and remote control via web browser, for those times when you’ve left the lounge and forgotten to turn off the equivalent of an LHC chewing through your electricity. It’ll only last you 100,000 hours, apparently, but hell, if you’ve got £600,000 to spend on a TV, it’s not like you’re going to care, right? [Costco]
Thanks David!

Oh sweet Christ. That’s a balcony window. Never need to leave the house again.
If it’s wrong that I want to make love to this screen, then I don’t want to be right!
I wonder what standard definition TV looks like on this? does it upscale it?
Probably looks so blurred you may think you need cataract surgery.
I doubt you would want to watch the naughty channels on it, Not ideal to see a 152 inch……………I’ll leave the rest to those with the filthy imaginations.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL !!!!
i’m still dreaming!
All I need now is £600000 and some 4k inputs, even a 1080p bluray will look blurted and low res on that monster.
The man in Comet checked his computer and said they’d have one in stock next week.

I fail to see who the hell would buy this. Some lunatic rich person no doubt.
Just wait until Red bring out their 4k projector. I’m almost sure that wont cost 600k of anyone’s money. 4k does look very nice (I’ve seen it many times) though. The proper HD we’ve all been promised.
having worked in the new harrods technology department, i can tell you your spot on. the brackets to wall mount this beast are over £2k alone. Surprisingly though at these sizes (83 102 152) 1080p still looks pretty dam decent.
Theres also an ipod dock in there that costs £330K, so tall it comes with a ladder and didn’t fit on our floor, ironically it didn’t sound that good. But if your worth £150M .. why not i guess
It never ceases to amaze me what rich people will buy. I guarantee, someone will buy this but not get it on the trolley at Costco.
I thought there was a problem with 4K in that you need to be ridiculously close to see it properly…
Then I realise how furthermore retarded this is. For a tiny portion of that price, you could probably run some ridiculous Eyefinity setup with AMD and probably get a higher res too…
I was in tokyo last week and got to see a 4K tv and I can honestly say this is not true. 4K is considerably better than 1080p even on a 55 inch screen. Even my girlfriend who couldn’t give a shit about tv’s was amazed by the quality.
