Alhough, we have come a long way since the launch of Panasonic’s 103-inch Plasma TV, but it still is a dream for every HDTV enthusiast. In the meantime, they have also shown their 150-inch plasma panel at the CES 2008. The same 103-inch 1080p plasma TV has now been re-introduced with a few upgrades for the uber-rich.
The 10 series TH-103PF10UK touts superior wall mount configuration, better video processing technology, anti-Reflective coating, improved wireless presentation features, versatile plug-in card functionality, new Portrait Zoom feature, and a dual HDMI board. It looks like to be targeted more at commercial houses than the individuals. Shipping with a 100,000-hour service life, it’s expected to come for $70,000.

The Supernova Epic screen from dnp Denmark has now started shipping, with screen sizes up to 156 inches and superwide 2.40:1 aspect ratios. The screen claims to allow flawless viewing experience in brightly lit environments delivering super-high contrast images in 100 percent neutral color.
The masking curved screens provide greater depth to the images, which also effectively limits retro-illumination through an advanced layer of lenses, diminishing the possibilities for washed out or glaring images. The screen material is also certified by the Imaging Science Foundation to ensure the ultimate home cinema experience.

No Hello Kitty fan can afford to miss out on the new Hello Kitty Swarovski Zippo that’ll soon hit the market.
The brass zippo has etched Hello Kitty logo on both sides and is colored pink, the symbolic color of Hello Kitty, with Swarovski crystals encrusted to add to the zing.
It comes fitted in an acrylic case so that the crystals remain intact in case they fall off. Well, it is a limited edition collection, so place your orders and grab a piece before it disappears. Via Bornrich

This bizarre creation from the U.K.’s Selfridges is a limited edition “designer” iPod Touch, according to Pocket-lint, though said designer is understandably anonymous. It’s encrusted with black Swarovski crystals, hundreds of them, and forms the image of a diamond ring with silver and 24k-plated stones in the center as “a proposal 21st century style.”
This limited edition iPod touch will sell for $1800 and an iPod nano will also on the shelf for $1500. To make the gift even more special, Selfridges and “Bling My Thing” are offering an individual customization service where lovers can also have the names or initials of a loved one added to the design as well as a compilation of their favorite songs uploaded.

Hats off to Sony for the magnificent idea of making a “Transparent TV” that is sooner or later going to revolutionize the meaning of a TV.
