14 DAY TRIAL // While HDTVs used to have, as upper size limit, the diagonal length of 65 inches, it seems Sharp broke well through that barrier when it built the LC-70LE732U LED-backlit TV set which, surprisingly enough, is intended for the mainstream, not high-end market.
Monitors may be very widespread among consumers, but TVs preceded the PC and are known for coming in larger form factors.
In fact, since HDTVs were made, large screens have been pretty much the norm in any household belonging to a mainstream or high-end user.
Some time ago, the limit to how huge this type of panel could get became 65 inches, while 55-inch TVs are those that sell best out of all 50-inch plus models, at least as far as Sharp's own product line is concerned.
On that note, Sharp has again redefined the top limit for large HDTVs, having built the LC-70LE732U, whose diagonal, as the name implies, is of 70 inches in length.
In other words, the screen area is 63% larger than the one provided by a 55-inch TV.
Of course, such a display would be superfluous if it came without a suitably rich array of feature, not to mention a high image quality.
Sharp somehow met all requirements while still keeping the price lower than some might expect, at $3,800.
While some may find it steep for a 'mainstream' product, the fact is that people with rooms large enough to accommodate something so big probably won't be short on funds.
That said, the company's own Quattron Quad Pixel Plus technology is implemented, meaning that the Red-Green-Blue pixel formats are complemented by the addition of yellow.
Sunflower yellow, Caribbean blue and sparkling gold are just a few of the new color blends that this allows for.
Furthermore, the TV is has all it needs to connect to the Internet, not just Ethernet but also built-in WiFi as well. The product page can be found here.
