The news
Samsung will tomorrow unveil the world's first 70in LCD HD TV set - a model said to be some five inches bigger than the current LCD king. The set will be shown at the International Meeting on Information Displays, IMID 2006 in Daegu, Korea - but won't come available until some time in the first half of next year.
The set will offer full high-definition resolution of 1080p (at 1920x1080) and is said to have a very wide conical viewing angle - of 180 degrees. The version that Samsung will show at IMID uses a 120Hz refresh rate that's claimed to enable rapidly moving video images to be reproduced with "crystal clarity".
Quoted specs include, brightness, 600nit/cd/m2; contrast ratio, 2,000:1; response time, <8ms; colour saturation, 92%; number of colours, 1.07 billion.
As yet, no pricing or detailed availability information is available.
