Samsung demos world’s largest LCD HDTV
The word from Samsung is that it will soon be selling the biggest LCD high definition television in the world, with a 70-inch screen that beats the nearest competitor by five inches. The company demonstrated a pre-production model this week at the FPD International 2006 show in Yokohama, Japan, where vendors are showing off their latest and greatest flat panel displays.
Plans are for Samsung’s 70-inch LCD HDTV to be in full production by the early part of 2007, with products on the market shortly thereafter. Pricing has not yet been announced.
In addition to its size advantage, the new Samsung TV also presents full high definition video at a rate of 120 Hz, making it twice as fast as other currently available models that use Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology. The faster speed means that rapidly moving video images can be reproduced with much better clarity. That, of course, makes for a better viewing experience, especially while watching sports or other fast-action shows.
