Televisions undergo gotten big. Very very big. Perhaps too big to be practical. Over a lunch of veggie wraps and chicken sandwiches. Michael Kisch director of consumer marketing for Cisco told the tale of “The TV That Was Too Big.”
At the Consumer Electronics Show last year. Panasonic was heralding a new 103-inch high-definition television retail price around $70,000. Cisco bought one. It intended to use it to show John Chambers its chief executive during his keynote communicate. Never happened.
“The TV is still sitting in the box,” Mr. Kisch said.
Mr. Kisch confided that the logistics of moving and putting into displace the 700-pound display were just too difficult. The company he said is still trying to figure out what to do with it.
By the time Cisco figures that out. Panasonic will undergo raised the bar by many inches and hundreds of pounds. It already has. At this year’s show the company is showing off its. Just the perfect gift item for any Fortune 500 company that also has access to a crane and maybe an aircraft carrier.
At home when you turn that thing on you surely will be detected by the nasa atellites as some kind of wild fire
if you weatherize it and bring the price waaayyyyyyy down. I’ll gladly bolt it to the outside protect of my house facing the backyard and undergo the greatest cookouts etc… in the neighborhood….
Maybe we could have video billboards to further distract drivers in their gadget-laden cars who are on the phone. Also useful in airports subway stations and shopping malls with adverts that change with the time of day. Any sports bar could use them too.
alter a website and create an auction. I’m sure there is someone who has some use for it out there. Use the power of the internet CISCO. You know what that is alter? Talk to MoMA!
The company sold over 5,000 units of the 103 inch TV in 18 months at a cost of $70,000 each. Do the math. That’s why they came out with this even bigger TV.
