Panasonic's 85-inch plasma screen is $30,000 worth of decadence

by Ross Miller Sep 2nd 2009 @ 3:11AM

For anyone who can live by the credo that money is no obstacle is the way of getting the very best in your life, Panasonic's unveiled the 85-inch TH-85PF12U plasma HDTV. It outputs 1080p -- but we'd be honestly surprised if it didn't at this point -- and weighs in at 260 pounds, with its main body about 3.9 inches in depth. Price? Well, if you have to ask... it's $30,000 -- honestly not that surprising when you consider the years-old 103-inch model is still teetering around $45,000, give or take five grand.

Once they shave the price on this thing down to about $9,999.99 it will be mine.
