Plasma televisions are still the best opted when it comes to the displays for home theatre systems. Most of the film-freaks go for larger displays while setting the home theatre system. Some among the movie-maniacs may crave for a higher impact than that from the 60-inch panels. 100+ inch plasma monsters are quite sexy, but with an untameable price tag and will literally burn a deep hole in most of our pockets! A handful are not going for the leviathan 100+ displays because of their humongous 500kg weight. Panasonic has now come up with an intermediary between the 60-inch plasma panels and the monstrous 100+ inchers!

Displayed at InfoComm 09 in Florida, Panasonic 85-inch Plasma Display Panel is a slimmed down version with 99mm depth, and is much lighter compared to its bigger bro! This svelte screen weighs around 130kg which is almost 70% lighter compared to the King-sized 103inch display. All thanks to NeoPDP technology and double luminance technology!!! This television offers Full HD Entertainment to the users. With a high display resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, and luxurious dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 the picture quality and detailing will be excellent.

The panel area of 1889mm x 1062mm is almost four times of a 42-inch plasma display! This reveals the pictorial extravaganza of this beast waiting to be unleashed! If installed vertically, this display can show a person in full size. Panasonic claims a life span of 100,000 hours for this titan! It comes with a DVI Input, ethernet connectivity and a dual link HD-SDI input. This display can can also play the role of an efficient electronic billing board. This hulk can be used for corporate presentations as well. Unfortunately, this display is not equipped with a TV tuner, which narrows down its market drastically.

NeoPDP is one among the revolutionary technologies developed by Panasonic designers. It offers improved efficiency in all aspects and also helps to produce light weight displays with slimmer profile. Energy efficiency of the television can be upped dramatically using this technology, and picture clarity is also boosted to a great extent. This technology aids the production of power-saving plasma screens which are twice as bright as the conventional plasma displays.With more technical specifications and pricing details under cover, this plasma television is expected to be released in Europe by this fall.
