Just in case you can't tell what is being presented here. This is a 103" plasma flat screen TV with a 50" sitting in front of it. You may think this is in some rich single guys man room or maybe a genetic engineering laboratory. You're wrong, this is in a conference room. Well, large corporations can afford such things, you say. Yes, probably they can, but this is no large or small corporations. This is an Army conference room, for a fairly unimportant unit. Now you ask, why is there a normal sized TV in front of it? This is an excellent question. It's because the building housing it isn't equipped with enough power to run it. I mean it only uses 220-240 volts and consumes 1400 watts. Panasonic says the best application for this type of display is in broadcast studios or large entertainment venues. An Army conference room is neither, in case you had doubt.I love gadgets and technology and this thing is awesome....I mean AWESOME. However, doing a little research I find the average cost is around 50k! So if you're in the military and are a little upset because we got a slap in the face 1.4% raise this year, this is an example of why. Bullshit spending like this is going on everyday. The govn't is saying save money, stop needless spending, review your budget, etc and our "Leaders" are saying F*#@ YOU we need big ridiculous televisions to look at PowerPoint slides and other assholes on VTC. I know I'd love to get the PS3 hooked up to that bastard and play some Gran Turismo 5 or Black Ops, I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it.
Just a thought.
