Samsung has introduced the largest commercially available full high-definition (1080p) LCD TV in Korea.

The 70-inch behemoth uses a a light-emitting diode (LED) backlight instead of the conventional cold cathode fluorescent lamp version.

Samsung’s unique local dimming technology enables the LED backlight to be turned off in dark image areas, delivering a dynamic contrast ratio of 500,000:1. At the same time, power consumption is lowered by as much as fifty percent.

LED scanning eliminates the flicker and ghosting problems associated with large-screen LCD TVs.
