Everything really is bigger in Texas – that is an undisputed fact. The state is the size of the whole of Europe, they really think “the higher the hair, the closer to God” and Texan’s actually stake their patriotic pride on having coined the parametres of ‘big’.

So when the Texas Motor Speedway wanted to give their fans a new viewing screen, custom dictated that it had to be the world’s biggest HD screen – ain’t no other way to get the job done in Texas. And who do you go to for a brilliant screen of such a magnitude? Well, it could only be Panasonic.

Imagine a screen that is the width of a 747’s airliners wingspan; 67 metres (218ft) across, 12 stories tall and made up of more than 14 million LEDs. Well, Texan motor sport fans won’t have to just imagine it because from April they’ll be experiencing this colossal feat in entertainment, affectionately known as “Big Hoss” first-hand.

It’s the mother all of all big-screen TVs!
