First television invented, forgotten for good
Published by Maria Mihale, on May 11 2009, in the categories: Gadgets
With the technological apparitions that we’re witnessing these days, we don’t really have the time to remember how the world looked like back in the history, when people didn’t have at their disposal the enormous quantity of products they have today.

I don’t know if regular people are interested, for example, in finding how the first television invented looked like, because they have what they need in the palm of their hands. And, if you think about it, why would anyone like to know something about the first television that was brought in the spotlight, when they have all sorts of LCDs with impressive diagonals, heading to 103 inches?
Yes, 103 inches. This is how much the new BeoVision 4 measures in diagonal. Designed by Danish company called Bang & Olufsen, the 103 inch plasma is presented to be “the ultimate flat screen television†and “one of the biggest television on the marketâ€.
Not to mention the fact that it comes with a stand that helps the screen to be lifted, to be turned and tilted to the best viewing position, by only touching one button.
Part of a promotional campaign, it seems that the BeoVision 4 will be on tour in the next couple of weeks, a tour that is said to include three exclusive press and customer events that are going to take place in three important American cities, such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
“The BeoVision 4 103-inch is a revolutionary product in the plasma screen sectorâ€, said Zean Nielsen, the President of Bang & Olufsen America, Inc. In addition, he said that: “We are very excited to showcase this television across the U.S. and demonstrate Bang & Olufsen’s unique capabilities in producing powerful technology that works for the customer and makes such a bold design statement at the same timeâ€.
If anyone’s interested, you should know that you can order the BeoVision 4 103-inch from the Bang & Olufsen showroom, and you can choose from a wide variety of colors, such as black, blue, dark grey, red and silver. You will have your plasma in approximately four months for a suggested retail price of no more than $93,050 on wall mount and $111.805, if you prefer the motorized floor stand.

Meh, I'll stick with my 116 inch screen + 1080p projector combo.

I prefer my marvelous 40 inch Samsung LCD,
purchased as a store demonstrator
for $334 more than my economic stimulus check,
and installed in a proper home theater setting.
Price is the deal breaker for this one, but maybe
if it had a black frame....
