Whilst browsing through Costco's website I came across this........

Who thinks Naim Reference kit or TA leads are expensive now?

Nice oicture of Morain Lake, but a lot cheaper to take a holiday and see it for real. Picture is slightly better on flickr

I saw the slighty smaller version in Harrods the other week - 103 inches and a dramatic price reduction to £84,995. I was so stunned by the price of the 152 inch I happened to take a pic of the price tag......

Well recognised Don.

I couldn't believe the price of that TV. Technology like that will be out of date in a few years. I'll stick with Naim. The 500 series is cheap as chips in comparison.

I bet you had to take a second look when you saw the price tag Steve. And Lontano couldn't believe his own eyes either !!!! staggering, but I bet a Tuned Array HDMI lead would improve the picture to at least a £1m

A top quality projector and screen, even with the inconvenience of a dark room would be better at the moment. And whilst I agree that TV technology like that will be out of date in a few years, its also possible that prices will tumble. 10 years ago plasmas were naff, but the asking price was still c.£10k. Now you can pick up decent ones for under a grand.

Well, it is 4K & 2K capable so its technology won't go out of date too quickly. But I think only two HDMI inputs is a bit penny-pinching, and you've got to wait five months for it!

Nah, don't think I'll go for one.

Are you sure Tony? It would look great at the end of your lounge.

For that price I could build a cinema in the back garden, kit it out with all the necessaries, bribe the local planning committee, AND have enough left over to stock it with Mrs TonyM's wife's lovely scones etc.

I think you might be over budget if you stock up with Mag's scones. They're priceless.
