Samsung Electronics says it has issued the world's first 70" LCD panel for use in the consumer TV market. Currently, the largest LCD TV screen size is 65" in diameter. The company says it will introduce its 70-inch LCD HDTV at the International Meeting on Information Displays 2006, which will open in Daegu, Korea on August 23. Samsung's latest LCD panel features full HD resolution - 1080p - and a conical viewing angle of 180 degrees for multi-viewing audiences. In addition, its video signal is reproduced at 120Hz, compared to a video signal of 60 Hz for a conventional Full HD LCD panel, enabling rapidly moving video images to be reproduced with crystal clarity.
