Biggest TV Ever to Go on Sale

It's bigger than your Christmas tree and ready for the living room.

A new Panasonic TV will be unveiled in January at CES that is 150 inches, or 2 x 3.5 meters. Just imagine watching Saving Private Ryan or Lord of the Rings on that puppy -- if you can find a living room that can hold it.

I mention this not just because it's cool, but the increasing size and quality of home theaters (even if they suck more juice) will force the theaters to market themselves in a different manner.

With DVD extras, multiple camera angles and being able to rewind a scene, why bother with the $8 popcorn and uncomfortable seats?

What do you think should be the theaters' new pitch? See it first? The mega-plex as a true social network? Escape the kids for 2 hours?
