Koreans were the first to lay their hands on the Samsung’s 70-inch full HD LCD television, which is also the world’s largest commercially available LCD. Now, the gigantic LCD panel is heading to the company’s US lineup. Packing Samsung’s local dimming LED backlighting technology instead of a conventional fluorescent lamp, the 1080p enabled screen impresses with its dynamic contrast ratio of 500,000:1. The backlighting technology improves overall picture quality by diffusing darker areas of the picture and reduces the power consumption by as much as 50%. This beast is equipped with 3 x HDMI 1.3 terminals and a USB 2.0 jack. It is expected to go on sale for an approximate price of $63K. I am not in the line.
