Apparently bigger is always better when it comes to TV’s, especially when we are talking giant HDTVs, and the leapfrog game to have the largest — even for just a few months — continues as Mitsubishi has constructed a baffling 8,066 square-foot display at Tokyo Racecourse in Japan. By far the biggest Diamond Vision unit ever built, it trumps their own creation at Turner Field in Atlanta by spanning 218 feet wide by 37 feet high and allowing for 3 races to be shown at once. The two previous title-holders were Miami’s Dolphin Stadium at 137 x 50 feet and Texas’ Longhorn Stadium at 134 x 55 feet. Controversy over the true king will surely arise due to Tokyo’s set only rising 37 feet in height and rocking an unorthodox 5.89 aspect ratio, but it does indeed sport Hi-Vision (1080), making it a legitmate HDTV. Personally, we’d be able to get more use from a couple plasmas, but if you’ve got the space acreage, there probably isn’t a better way to spend $28 million. (Well you know appart from saving the starving etc, etc, …)

You might have known it before by its nicknames: Goliath, Brobdingnag, the Colossus, etc. But now you’ve got a model number and price tag for Panasonic’s 103-inch behemoth; call it the TH-103PZ600, and expect it out September first for a princely Â¥6,000,000. Yes, that’s over £27,000 (which is what all plasmas used to cost but a few years ago, if you recall). (more…)

So you have downloaded (legally of course) your favourite movies but have found that sitting in front of your PC trying to watch a movie = serious neck pain, a numb arse and dead legs – which you don’t normally notice until you try to stand up at which point you collapse to the floor.

Yet another reason to fall in love with Jolly ‘ole England. Not many may know this but in the UK, you have to have a license to watch tv. Some would argue that’s it’s even harder to avoid having a tv license than driving a car without one.
According to trial in the UK, they found that 80% of users would subscribe to mobile tv services. Now knowing these facts, what do you think a government would do in this situation? Even 1 pound from each customer would greatly increase their revenue. Sadly, it’s not even a pound, it’s £126.50 to be precise. Issuing a license law, in my honest opinion would backfire, causing the slowly rising success of Mobile TV to plummet to it’s untimely death.
