2007-07-26 20:36:03 - Panasonic has announced that the world's largest plasma HDTV has been installed in New York's newly renovated City Hall.

The 103in Full HD plasma screen will help the Mayor's Office monitor news and watch other video content in high-definition. As well as playing TV broadcasts the screen will display real-time 311 call statistics and live video feeds from New York's traffic cameras.

'Most people don't know they can use their home PC or laptop the same way the Mayor of

New York is using the new HDTV,- said Julie Taing, a spokesperson for Caracom. 'Everyone can watch news, sports, even their favorite Soap Opera while working in any program on you computer with an OnAir GT.-

The OnAir GT is a mobile HDTV tuner & DVR for your computer. Which allows people to watch and record television in High Definition anywhere a usable ‘over-the-air' or cable signal exists. Gamers can even connect their game consoles and play their favorite video games.

While it is well known that HDTV offers significantly higher resolution than standard-definition television. Most consumers are unaware that the local ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX TV channels broadcast in HD over-the-air and offer superior picture quality to the often-compressed signals sent by cable and satellite TV companies. And the best part is that over-the-air HD is free.

A lot has changed since the first commercial broadcast in the United States on May 28th, 1928. Television has made us laugh and cry. It has shown us the pageantry of the NFL, Man first steps on the moon, battlefields, and the funeral of a princess. Shows like I Love Lucy, Star Trek, M*A*S*H, Monday Night Football, The Tonight Show, and The Simpsons have changed the landscape of America. All the while the American love affair with television has grown. So kick back and watch HDTV for free in your dorm room, apartment, office, RV, campsite, by the pool and yes' at the airport. Armed with the OnAir GT and your laptop you can turn even the smallest space into a High Definition home theater.
