Your Next Must-Have TV

LG 71-inch Plasma TV

The 71-inch LG MW-71PY10 plasma will certainly provide the "movie-theatre experience" in your home-room-theatre. In fact for a TV this grand, you may consider building a shrine or at least a room that's as large as a movie theatre.

The price tag -- $70,000.

Digital Surround Sound Loses the Clutter

Pioneer Digital Sound Projector

You simply can’t pair your new 71-inch plasma TV with old or underpowered speakers. Instead, pair it with the PDSP-1 Digital Sound Projector, a 500-watt panel that can fill your entire theatre room with crisp, clear surround sound. The PDSP-1 is the shape and size of a flat-panel TV, so you simply mount it underneath your plasma screen, and the speakers will create a surround sound environment without the clutter of multiple speakers and unsightly wires.

The price tag -- $40,000
