Honeywell Shows Off 82" 120Hz HDTV

HD Guru has some exclusive information on Honeywell's HDTV plans this fall. Without beating around the bush, Honeywell is bringing a monsterous 82" 120Hz LCD to the market.




The Altura LE series will include five 1080p models ranging from 47" to 82".

Stats on the screen itself include a 178&deg viewing angle, 120,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and a rated brightness of 500-600 cd/m². Honeywell is planning on competing with Vizio who already has a solid hold on the cost-effective market in the US. No price details have been released but since Honeywell is planning to take on Vizio, you might not have to take out a second mortgage on the house to afford the behemoth.
