Panasonic TH-65PF12EK
Summary
We have a 65 inch plasma display donated for our non-commercial use by Cisco in the United Kingdom. Due to its size and weight, it's probably best to avoid moving it. It required a fortified wall mount as it typically requires four people to carefully move it.

Disposal
Cisco was kind enough to donate this for our Hackspace usage for as long as it's usable to the space. It may not be sold off or disposed of irresponsibly - we either return it to Cisco (Bedfont Lakes UK) or document its disposal at a WEEE-certified recycling centre
