The Cynic Says……

Digital Chosunilbo (English Edition) : Daily News in English About Korea

LG Philips apparently has a 100 inch LCD TV ready for production… Currently the largest is 82″ (made by Samsung but not available for purchase), which is still pretty damn big. Frankly, I don’t quite know what one would do with such a big TV but I’ll admit it’d be damn cool to have one. Panasonic has a 103″ plasma display announced as well but LCD is generally considered to be the better technology despite it not being available in sizes quite as large as plasma. Regardless, I’ll never own such a large TV because a) I simply won’t be able to afford it.. and b) I really don’t watch enough TV to justify such a purchase even if I could afford it. If nothing else, I’m hoping that it will at the very least drive down prices on more normal-sized LCD TV’s (30-40 inches) to a point where the average consumer can afford them. As it stands, LG appears to be turning out some of the best LCD panels around. I have an LG 19″ LCD monitor for my computer and all of the Apple Cinema displays are based on LG-Philips panels. HP’s widescreen LCD’s are also based on LG panels. I’m sure there are a few more that are using their panels but those are just the major players that have been using LG.
