Harrods debuts technology department with a million dollar 152-inch Panasonic TV
UK’s Harrods, the upscale departmental store has unveiled a new technology department that is putting a 152” Panasonic television on sale. The TH-152UX1W model which was unveiled in CES 2010 weighs in at 600kg and is enhanced with the 4K2K technology which boasts of four times as many pixels as a conventional high definition TV set. This pretty much means that it is capable of creating a separate 3D image in HD resolution for each eye. You would get a single 152” TV set when you stack up nine 50” displays in three rows with a resolution of 4096 x 2160 resolutions.
It is a whopping $950,00. That is close to a million dollars and many notches above its original price of $670,000. But then again, Harrods is a niche store and affluent people go the extra mile only to make some heads turn.
The new 20,000sqft tech department has opened on 16th March 2012 and offers a premium selection of consumer technology categories including home computing, audio-visual, photographic and mobile communication. A bespoke suite of aftercare services will also be offered to Harrods customers with a dedicated customer service bar in-store.

Reevu helmet launched with integrated rear-view system
While a rear-view helmet might sound like a technology developed for marines in combat zones, our over congested roads are no better than the war zones where bikers are the most vulnerable. However, Reevu’s MSX1 helmet with an integrated rear-view mirror system will be a lifesaver for everyday commuters and probably for professional racers. To make this all possible, Reevu’s MSX1 helmet relies on an entirely mechanical mechanism rather than rear-view cameras. The innovative technology that took 10 years in development has a built-in 180 degree unbreakable rear-view mirror system that allows the rider to see the road behind, thereby improving the situational awareness. It would be obvious to think that the improved technology would come with added weight, but the Reevu MSX1 helmet is nicely balanced along with the availability of a custom-fit helmet to the owner’s head.
