Panasonic’s Z1 get’s priced

If you’ve been dreaming about Panasonic’s ultra-thin Z1 plasma screen, then dream no more. The television has finally gotten a price and a release date. The 1-inch screen will be available in June for an MSRP of $6000. The 54-inch screen has a 40,000:1 static and 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and has a SD card slot so you can play back your pictures on the television by just putting in your memory card. The TV also has Panasonic’s VIERA cast function that allows you to stream things directly to the television such as Amazon’s video-on-demand service. Plasma has been to some extent a dying technology. Would you consider buying this one at the $6k price tag? [via CrunchGear]
