Eyes wider open

Samsung has wheeled a whopping 70-inch high-def LCD into the frame, packing some enlightening telly talents.

This beast of a big-screen has just hit shops over in South Korea, making it one of the world's largest commercially available LCD goliaths. Word has it the 70-incher could be stomping its way onto UK shores, although no official announcement just yet. Here's hoping.

Sure, its super-size dimensions put it on the global map, but Samsung's titan telly promises to be equally as impressive in the picture quality stakes. Its guts are loaded with the latest image enhancement tech, including an LED backlight with a smart 'local dimming' feature that basically means it automatically turns off dark image areas to create an awesome amount of contrast to create a more realistic and dynamic picture. Stat fans, we're taking a contrast ratio of 500,000:1 - put that in context, the latest and greatest sets are pumping out around 20,000:1. Of course, it's not going to be (one sec, while we get the calculator), er, 25-times better by any means, as unfortunately it ain't that simple, but it should spit out a fantastically deep and vivid picture nonetheless. You just might need to get a flip-top house to fit it in your lounge.

Using an LED backlight also means its more energy efficient and eco friendly, so bravo to the big fella.
