Panasonic Shows 65-Inch Plasma Display

Matsushita Electric Industrial is thinking big. The company, better known by 
its Panasonic brand name, plans to introduce a high-definition PDP (Plasma 
Display Panel) television with a screen measuring 65 inches diagonally.

The display is the largest available through consumer sales channels and is 
capable of rendering 3.62 billion colors, 2048 shades of graduation, and the 
world's highest contrast ratio of up to 3000:1, Matsushita says in a statement. 
The display will be introduced to the Japanese market on October 1, and in the 
U.S. market in early 2005.

The TH-65DX300, which will be sold under Matsushita's Viera line, has a plasma 
panel with 1,049,088 pixels and a service life of about 8000 hours. The 
TH-65DX300 weighs 240 pounds including the stand, and has a width of 61.2 
inches, a height of 39.8 inches and a depth of 15.5 inches. The suggested 
retail price is $18,845, the company says.

Matsushita plans to sell the TH-65DX300 in the U.S. within about seven months, 
but has yet to decide whether to sell the product in Europe, company 
spokesperson Mike Takeda says. Matsushita launched the Viera brand in August 
2003 and sells 37 inch, 42 inch, and 50 inch models internationally, he says.
