The latest of the beastly big screens has an array of inputs and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio.

This big boy is large and in charge—of all of your free time, anyway.

Panasonic just unveiled another 103-inch plasma to make you feel inferior about your current entertainment setup. Engadget says that the TH-103PZ800 is a beast that can command all of your video needs, via four HDMI jacks, an Ethernet port and an array of other hookups. Tech specs include Deep Color and x.v.Color support, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, various tuners, and Panasonic’s own VIERA Link technology. It also has an SD card slot.

Although Panasonic’s previous girthy models appeared to be all business, this one looks ready for home use—for those homes that have around $50K to spend on a TV, that is. Also make room in that budget for a set of speakers, because AV Watch says the unit doesn’t come with them.

Another thing to make you feel bad: It’s only available in Japan. It will start shipping in September.
