Sharp launches world’s largest LED TV, the 70-inch LC-70LE732U

HDTVs just got bigger thanks to Sharp’s announcement today of its new 70-inch LED LCD TV. Topping the previous max of 65 inches, the LC-70LE732U now takes the role of world’s largest LED-based TV. We really hope it’s used with the world’s smallest digital TV tuner that Sharp developed in June.
The TV, which actually measures 69.5 inches across, offers 62 percent more viewing area than a 55-inch TV, according to Sharp. It’s apparently equal to nine 19-inch TVs placed next to each other. The Sharp LC-70LE732U will give you 2,088 square inches of screen.
Besides screen size, the HDTV offers Sharp’s proprietary Quattron technology, which basically adds an extra pixel, a yellow sub pixel, to the normal red, green, and blue pixels. The TV features a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 6 million: 1 dynamic contrast ratio.
As with most TVs coming out these days, the LC-70LE732U offers streaming services, like Netflix, VUDU, CinemaNow, and Pandora, and web apps like Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. It also includes built-in WiFi, so you won’t need an adapter to use its AQUOS Advantage Live onscreen customer service feature.
LG is said to be releasing a 72-inch LCD TV, but, until then, Sharp will remain the King of the Giant TVs.
The LC-70LE732U will run you $3,799, and there will be three more 70-inch models, including a 3D version, later this year.
