First plasma display visible from moon (8)
Okay, we exaggerate. But it looks like Shinoda has come through on its promise to deliver a 142-inch plasma, although it’s really more of a video wall – six 1x1m units in a 3x2 configuration. 960x720 resolution for each unit gives an overall resolution of 2880x1440, so viewed from a modest distance it should be pretty impressive.
What’s really notable about this, though, is the depth (reportedly 1mm) and weight (just 7.2kg for the whole setup) made possible by plasma tube array technology, which raises the prospect of some high-impact wall-hanging and free-standing applications in convention centres, corporate headquarters and the like.
It all makes Panasonic’s 103-inch HD plasma (with its price just slashed by nearly a third) look downright compact.
