LG Will Mass Produce 71-inch Plasma

Until now large plasmas have only been produced in limited edition. And that's not much of a surprise since plasmas larger than 60" generally cost more than $50,000. But that's all going to change, at least according to LG.

LG Electronics have broadened the production line of 71" LCDs and they will mass produce the immense plasma offering it first on the European and USA markets. Projected price will be almost $70,000 but since the plasma will enter mass production, the price is expected to drop to $15,000 depending on the region.

LG currently produces about 350,000 plasma TVs per month and will probably become the Nr. 1 company in the plasma business with a projected increase of 40% when compared to 2006. Nice idea especially since they have sold almost 3,500,000 units this year alone.

As for the 71" behemoth, there are not many things to be said. Offering a contrast rate of 3000:1 and a panel luminance of1000 cd/m�, the TV will probably fit perfectly in your large living room. Provided you have the money for it and a healthy amount of patience since it won't be available in large quantities at first.
