Panasonic announces plans to release Wiimote-proof Plasma TVs

Panasonic has recently announced its plans to create a new line of Wiimote-proof Plasma TVs. Those interested in figuring out how Panasonic will protect their sets from the onslaught of flying Wiimotes will want to visit the full article for details.

Apparently, the saga of flying Wiimotes and busted television sets  is a potential business prospect that’s caught Panasonic‘s attention.

The company unveiled at their recent product showcase in Valencia an upcoming line of Plasma TVs that are stated to be Wii-proof.
By this, we think the company meant the Wiimote controller that’s been sent airborne by many a slippery hand during a heated bout of Wii Sports.

At the moment, the company reports that their new Plasma TV has been  equipped with a specially treated panel that will allow it to resist impact forces of up to 4 joules. As a reminder, a joule is the metric unit of energy for measuring heat, electricity and mechanical work.

No pricing details have been announced for this upcoming new Plasma TV – drop by again in case Panasonic releases more info on this new unit’s other specs.
