152" Plasma Service Manual

[tom66]

You haven't seen pure engineering pr0n until you have seen the service diagrams for a 152" 3D Quad-HD (4K) plasma display. Retail price around $800,000. Panasonic, of course, lead the field on insane overkill.

41 individual fans. 9 main power supplies, 6 additional power supplies. 233 screws for the back cover alone. Dual scan boards with 3 buffer boards each and dual sustain boards. Consumes around 3.7kW in normal operation. I don't even want to ask what "full white" is like. For a normal plasma display, it's around 3~4x average power. So, that's nearly 12kW.

Their 103" models (of which there are multiple), on the other hand, are a little more constrained. A mere 15 fans by my count, and constrained to 1.5kW normal power only.

I'll be adding a few more Panasonic service manuals soon. I've found a way to download them from their service site... Over 380 models going up soon.

Re: 152" Plasma Service Manual

That is INSANE! I thought "152" was a typo of 52" 9 power boards, wow... 1,300 lbs....so it would way as much as a 50" crt?

Re: 152" Plasma Service Manual

I believe it is so power hungry it must use three-phase 220~240VAC only. So you're not going to be able to use it in your average household...

I bet them McMansions would though! They are usually owned by very wealthy people, who have huge TVs, and even sometimes their very own movie theater

Re: 152" Plasma Service Manual

It's intended for commercial customers, for installation in TV studios and venues (airports, movie theatres, etc I guess.) However, one oil sheikh did purchase one, apparently.

Re: 152" Plasma Service Manual

Wouldnt even need to wall mount it, be like a hovercraft

I'll keep my eye out on ebay for one stuck in standby, pay upto £50 for one in good nick

Re: 152" Plasma Service Manual

I'd lean it against the wall, sit back and enjoy.

Of course I would have to answer the door regularly with the neighbours questioning why their lights always dim when I switch on my TV.

Same here. 152" just seems like pure insanity. And 3 to 4 kW of AVERAGE power usage?? - I don't think I'll need to run the heater in the winter at all.

But if we really want to go true overkill, I think Panasonic should make a 152" CRT screen. I can't even imagine how much that would weight . Would probably be very energy efficient though.

Yea, but if the CRT screen broke and imploded it would cause a black hole and swallow our whole galaxy with it!

Re: 152" Plasma Service Manual

It is quite big, but I search eBay just in case! I will find a way to get one! Even just to tear it to pieces and look at all the electronics pr0n!

I have a 3 phase motor I can use as a generator if you will split the shipping and handling costs.
Does it have hookups for the drive in speakers?

What would be the tube radius to get a 152" CRT flat? Orbit of Mars?
Just no trinitrons, I can't take that shadow mask wire.

That is so big I would have to netflix baywatch.

What SPF sunblock does it recommend?
