Life-Sized Video Gaming on Giant TV

Life-Sized Video Gaming on Giant TV

For most of us, the holy grail is a 42- or 50-inch big screen for the living room. Sure, we know they make them bigger, but 42- or 50-inches is just big enough to derive maximum enjoyment from all of our favorite shows, movies, sports and video games without being too extravagant or pricey.

That said, were money no object, you better believe we'd have our home theater tricked out with Panasonic's 103-inch HD behemoth picture above. Though most of us will never live to stand in the presence of such glory, a reporter for the Gizmodo tech blog recently got that shot -- with an Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii hooked up to it, no less. His assessment? A complete nerdgasm: 'Playing in front of a screen on which characters are damn near life size was a complete immersion experience,' he said. The reporter also admits to standing way too close to the screen, which made him a little motion sick.

Check out video of the gargantuan display in action, along with some commentary from Panasonic Display President Andrew Nelkin.
