Company announces Intelligent New LED Technology with a Dynamic Contrast of 500,000:1

Samsung, the world leader in Full HD TV technology, today stakes out new, premium territory in the crowded Full HD TV market with the new line of large-screen 70-inch LCD TV that combine the latest in high definition picture technology with inspired, timeless designs.

According to the company, the goal of the new 70-inch F9 LCD TV is to roll out the new LED local dimming technology, in some of the largest screen sizes available in the marketplace. Samsung also maintains its premium standards by packaging the lineup with its Full HD 1080p technology and Wide Color Enhancer to deliver superior HD quality with blacker blacks, more vivid colors and ultra-sharp images.

LED local dimming uses multiple LED backlight units. The TV intuitively senses the TV signal and adjusts the brightness level by turning on and off the right combination of the backlight units to produce a stunning Dynamic Contrast ratio of 500,000 to 1.

And, because the TVs use LED technology, now it is one of the most environmentally friendly TV options available. Samsung was also able to achieve significant reductions in power usage, more than 30%.

Mr. B.W. Kim, Managing Director of Samsung Electronics H.K. Co. Ltd, expanded on the company’s decision to use the LED technology in their new top-end TVs, saying “This is the technology of the future. We’re confident about it and believe there is significant demand for it in the marketplace today, especially for TVs of this calibre and size.”

Despite all the new technology, Samsung has not compromised on design, sound, ease-of-use or connectivity features. The concept of the TVs maintains Samsung’s reputation for innovative designs with a piano-black, high gloss body set off by elegantly soft corners and titanium fittings that display a luxury feel. Hong Kong consumers are additionally fortunate as they will have a choice of two different colors to choose from, gold or red.

The TruSurround XT stereo system in the F9 comes complete with two built-in subwoofers that are neatly hidden from view and that drive more power into the lower frequencies of the 2.2 channel stereo. The unique design of the speaker unit separates the tweeters and allows for a wider frequency range, delivering a more dynamic sound quality with deeper bass and higher treble.

The F9 Full HD LCD TV also comes with Wiselink USB 2.0 for handy connections to digital cameras and MP3 players, and 3 HDMI connections that allow the users to take advantage of the Full HD capability of their various components, such as Blu-ray players, game consoles, and HD camcorders.
