Are you a fan of big displays, and maybe 3D? And do you happen to have $100,000 to spare? Then the TH-P103MT2 might be something for you, a 103-inch plasma screen Panasonic announced [JP] today for the Japanese market (yes, that’s the retail price). It’s based on a 103-inch TV showed back in 2008 (the TH-103PZ800), but this new model comes with 3D on board.

The monster screen features full HD resolution, a contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 (native), and four HDMI ports, but do not expect speakers or a tuner here. It’s sized at 2,412×871×1,748mm and weighs a whopping 321kg.

In Japan, Panasonic will start accepting orders from tomorrow (no word on international availability at this point). Oh, and you have to add transportation and set up costs to the $100,000 price tag, Panasonic says (they throw in one pair of 3D glasses though).
