Samsung Announces 70-inch LCD TV

We've seen Plasma TVs growing in size so it's only natural that bigger LCD TVs are starting to pop-up. Samsung has a big honkin' LCD coming soon according to EETimes.com:

Samsung said it will unveil the 70-inch LCD HDTV at the International Meeting on Information Displays 2006, which opens in Daegu, South Korea, on Wednesday (Aug. 23).
Samsung's latest LCD panel features full HD resolution (1920 by 1080 pixels) and a conical viewing angle of 180 degrees. In addition, the panel's video signal is reproduced at 120 Hz, compared to a 60-Hz signal for conventional full HD LCD panels, enabling clearer reproduction of fast-moving video images.

The new LCD also delivers 600 nit brightness and a contrast ratio of 2,000:1, supporting 1.07 billion colors.

Of course there's no pricing on this monster yet but it ain't going to be cheap. We'll let you know more details when we get them.
