A 108-inch TV is more proof of concept than a product intended for actual home use.

I can see a panel like that being used in airports.

Even still the problem with LCD is that if you aren't looking straight at it the picture starts getting distorted.

If "2 picture diagonals" is the recommended distance
for HD material on a 16:9 display, that's 18 feet.

A concept that was proved with two other 100+ inch
LCDs a year ago. Every Hollywood star will, of
course, have to have one.

Conference rooms, trade shows, small auditoriums,
perhaps a new class of micro-theatres if theatrical
exhibition survives.

Gonna be hugely expensive to ship safely.

I don't know about that. There are lots of people with home theaters that have projectors and 100 plus inch screens.
