Check out the Huge 102″ Samsung Plasma TV!
Samsung has unveiled what’s possibly the world’s largest plasma monitor screen - a monster 255cm (102in) high density panel codenamed ‘Atlas’.
The resolution is a mere 1920 x 1080, little bigger than most larger PC monitors, but has a contrast ratio of 2000:1 and a 1000 candlepower per square metre brightness rating.
Sadly, this will not be available commercially, but you can a more compact 65″ junior plasma - Panasonic TH-65PF9BK - for peanuts>>

If a custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU had three symmetrical 3.2GHz cores, a 500MHz custom ATI Graphics Processor with 10MB of embedded DRAM and unified memory architecture of 512MB GDDR3 RAM and 700MHz DDR then the Xbox 360 is already more powerful than a £2,000+ state-of-the art PC.
A nice piece of technology, but a damn good piece of gaming technology!
Nintendo’s Wii video game system is a social experience designed to attract people, regardless of their age or competency, to sit down and play together–whether they’re in the same room or on a different planet. Its name reflects this simple idea. It’s easily pronounced in any language, and the distinctive spelling suggests two players together. The Wii features Nintendo thinks will create new levels of community gaming are Wi-Fi access, supported by a new online gaming service, and Wii’s intuitive-wireless motion-sensitive game controllers.
