Panasonic has a 103" plasma, so that should be on your short list.
:-)
Word has it that Pioneer may offer a 70" plasma for 2008. Panasonic has a 65" now, so it's a flip of the coin as to whether they'll meet Pioneer's 70" or offer something just a wee bit larger. LG has a 7x" model that's available now, if I remember correctly. It's not priced anywhere near Panasonic or even Pioneer (way higher than these).
Late 2008, Panasonic, Pioneer and Hitachi will be tempting everyone with a new technology for their plasmas called "10 lumen tech". Based on what I've read, it will make even the new Kuro's look like "economy" plasmas. I believe SED really got the plasma manufacturers worried enough to get things moving and moving fast. Facing LCD price decreases and SED quality increases, there was no option. The new tech also decreases wattage needs by a serious amount as well.
Follow Ups:
103 is definitely too big for me. I've considered the panny 65" that's a good size for my family room. I'm probably going to wait untill next year, to see whats new, and what is coming out in the 65-70" range.

In the plasma section at AVS Forum, someone posted that Pioneer will actually go out to 75" in 2008. Sounds great, but in the same thread 85" was mentioned for Panasonic and Hitachi next year. Installation will definitely not be a one-person job!
