'The world's largest TV': 205 inches

How quickly things change. Just a couple of months ago, the likes of Sharp and LG were vying for bragging rights over the largest TVs at the CES show in Las Vegas, with sets around 108 and 102 inches. Now, Italy's Tecnovision has dwarfed those models with what it's understandably billing as "the world's largest television" on display at CeBIT in Germany, a 205-inch HDTV--practically big enough, Tech Digest says, to fill an entire wall. There's no information on specs or pricing, but we suspect that its name alone, "Luxio," is an indication that K-mart won't be having a blue-light special on this item anytime soon.

Oh well. It's not like any one of us was going to be buying a 205" TV any time soon anyways....

A 205 inch screen!

This large screen would be a gamer's version of fantasy orgasm. Imagine playing a Playstation 3 game of "Resistance"
on that unit. Using motion assisted weapons gun controllers instead of hand controllers, that would make you feel that you are in the game's environment.

Sure 205 inches is nice, but how am I suppose to get it threw my front door, or any door? Or after I get it in, and I want to move to a new place? I'd have to tear down a wall.

What BS! First of all, there's no way that is 205" diagonal. Look at the size of the people. They would have to be about 8' tall. The guy can only fit inside that screen diagonally barely twice and even if he were 6'8" tall it would only be 160" INCHES! I have 208" 2.35:1 theater at home that is as TALL as that screen, but and at least 33% wider.

Katsuro-Kuro, you are right, even the outside dimensions are nowhere near 205 inches. it's off by at least 4 feet. i did the measurements based on the guy on the left being 6 feet.

but do not use the word Fail. that is totally gay

Slayer200723, you are right, even the outside dimensions are nowhere near 205 inches. it's off by at least 4 feet. i did the measurements based on the guy on the left being 6 feet.

Katsuro-Kuro, you are still a gay for using the word Fail.
