Samsung is set to release a behemoth of a 3D TV boasting a 70″ LCD screen. Chinese manufacturer AUO recently showcased its own 70″ version which has the same 29:9 viewing ratio as the common cinema screen, making it the perfect 3D TV for anyone willing to splash out and have it shipped to grace their home cinema set-up. AUO have indeed targeted this niche of home cinema enthusiasts with the 29:9 ratio, an ultra-thin border, 240Hz frame rate and LED backlighting.

Home cinema is an area that manufacturers of 3D hardware will certainly look to exploit with the increasing popularity of the format, regardless of the high prices. Audio visual enthusiasts, and gamers in particular, are providing the most receptive market for the emerging 3D technology with the likes of Microsoft investing in 3D; and products like these testifying to the fact that niche markets are ready and waiting to purchase such extravagant 3D hardware.

Now Samsung is following AUO's lead by announcing its very own 70″ 3D TV. The stereoscopic TV will light up living rooms with it's 800 million pixel resolution, in the format which might well revolutionise home cinema systems the world over. Whilst the team at 3DTVWatcher would welcome any 3D TVs of this ilk in thier living rooms, the price will undoubtdly match the colossal screen size, although until now no price or release date has been revealed for Samsung's version
