Runco’s 100in Behemoth Will Appeal To The Stupid-Rich
Nov 30
If you’re lucky enough not to have been affected by the economic crisis (ie: you’re filthy rich) then why not laugh in the face of the rest of the planet by picking up a ridiculously big TV? Runco has recently announced a 100″ VideoWall TV (the VX-100HD) to compete with Panasonic’s similarly extravagant 103″ plasma. It’s actually a rear-projection design but is different to most being completely self-contained, which means the rear assembly is about a third of the size of a traditional screen of this type. It’s capable of 1080p resolutions, a contrast ratio in excess of 5000:1 and features ‘positive pressure cooling’ that allows for quiet operation and ‘high altitude operation’ so it can work up to 3km above sea level, so you’ll be fine in your penthouse suite. It’s a little more expensive than Pannie’s screen though, £26,300 to be exact, but look at it this way, you’ll be saving a cool £657.50 thanks to Mr. Darling’s generosity. - Paul Lester [CNet] Runco TV rear-projection
