The 70†Samsung HD TV packs in the company’s best image enhancement technologies and also uses a light-emitting diode (LED) backlight instead of the conventional cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL).Plus, this larger-than-life 70-inch television uses Samsung’s unique local dimming technology that enables the LED backlight to be turned off in dark image areas, delivering viewers a dynamic contrast ratio of 500,000:1.
Samsung’s LED scanning eliminates the flicker and ghosting problems associated with large-screen LCD TVs. What’s more, the Samsung 70-inch HD TV consumes 50% less power than usual televisions. Now that you have come to be familiar with about what this 70-inch baby can bring, wait till you hear about the looks of it. The Samsung 70-inch high-definition TV has a high-gloss coating, a piano-black bezel and a titanium chrome trim. This makes Samsung’s huge TV look extremely stylish and sophisticated.
Besides, the whole package looks very neat, as there are dual speakers that are hidden from the eye as well as a stern woofer that delivers rich sound quality JongWoo Park, President of the Digital Media Business, Samsung Electronics, stated “I am pleased to introduce the 70†Full-HD LCD TV with innovative Local Dimming Technology.†Samsung has plans to introduce this large 70-inch full HD LCD TV worldwide in the second half of 2007. Samsung determination continues to strengthen its LCD TV leadership, enhancing Full-HD and large screen LCD TV line-up.
Samsung’s New LCD TV goes on a diet - just 1cm thick -Samsung has taken the wraps off an anorexic 40in LCD TV with a 1cm thin waistline at this week’s FPD global show Japan. Just weeks after Sony kicked launched its first skinny OLED-based TV – just 3mm thin - Samsung is out to prove that existing LCD technology can be placed on a marvelous diet too. This 10mm panel uses an LED backlight to offer what Samsung claims is 92% of the NTSC standard for cooler diffusion - almost as good as a CRT TV – but with a low power use of under 90W.
Different the Sony OLED panel, which is limited to just 11in and is not HD-ready, Samsung’s super model is a HDTV, capable of displaying Full HD (1080p) video. When we will actually see them in shops is anyone’s deduction.
Sony’s fancy a super thin TV, even thinner than present LCD? Sony is planning to open its OLED TV production this year producing 1,000 units of it each month. The first models will have a screen size of 11 inches and just 0.12 inches thick. Pricing however will be expensive with prices expected to be a few times of the existing flat panel price. This new technology might have a bright prospect but for now, I will not be expecting it to sell mainly because of the price factor.
If Sony let go its OLED TV, they will be the first to do so. This technology will be a joint venture between Sony and Toyota with the actual production being handled by the two. This new expensive TV format will cover way for new technologies to come. Other manufacturers might want to have a look at how Sony is drama and moderator it before moving into it themselves. Sony will be hoping that it will be a hit despite its price. No more playing infectious up for Sony this time as they will be the first to introduce this new technology to the customers. I will just keep my fingers irritated and see how things will make better when it is out.
