One of the world's largest televisions, with a giant 103-inch screen, will soon be available from a Leicester specialist.

The large flat-screen plasma television is so heavy that engineers have to inspect homes where it is to be installed to make sure that the floors are strong enough to take the weight.

Bang & Olufsen of Leicester is one of around just 100 specialists in the UK about to take orders for this unique product which costs about £80,000.

The BeoVision 4-103 is seen as the ultimate flat screen television and comes complete with a powerful motorised stand that, at the touch of a button, raises the screen to the ideal viewing position.

It then tilts to the owner's pre-set viewing angle, electronic curtains automatically draw apart and a powerful loudspeaker emerges from beneath the screen and glides forward.

Ed Withers, who runs the Allandale Road specialist, said: "It's not just the sheer size that makes this incredibly impressive. Bang & Olufsen has put all of its most advanced picture technology into it as well as a whole new sound system called Adaptive Sound Technology. This delivers sound, which appears to be directly in front of you, no matter where you are in the room."

And if that's not enough, the huge television can be linked to up to 14 BeoLab loudspeakers to produce a wall of sound to rival an opera house.

The BeoVision 4-103 can also form the hub of an intelligent home system combining audio, video and a host of automated home electronics all controlled by a single programmable hand-held remote control Beo5.

Ed added: "It's undoubtedly the ultimate total entertainment and intelligent home system and I already have some customers who are very keen to find out more about it."

Selected customers will be invited to an exclusive demonstration of the BeoVision 4-103 in London, where they will be able to meet some of the experts behind the innovation.
