- The world's biggest plasma television has been unveiled - a 150-inch (3.75m) Panasonic widescreen TV, which stands 6ft tall, will enable viewers to watch everything in life-size.
- Because of its huge size, the screen can only be comfortably watched from a distance of at least 30ft, making it too big to install in most family living rooms.
- There is an expected price tag of 50,000, so this TV will be beyond the spending power of most consumers.
- The screen, dubbed the "Life Panel", was the star attraction on the opening day of the world's biggest consumer technology trade show in Las Vegas, the Consumer Electronic Society International trade fair.
- The television trumps the previous record size television Sony's 108-inch model by 42 inches.
- Environmental campaigners were less than impressed, claiming it will guzzle up to 3,000 watts of electricity.
- It is not yet clear when the televisions will be available in the UK, but they will go on sale in the US this year.
