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". The LCD's will feature the usual slew of various inputs on the back including 3 HDMI, 2 Component, and both Coaxial and S/PDIF audio. Stats on the screen itself include a 178° 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.

Honeywell will have four distinct lines of HDTVs. The top of the line LE series will be offered in five screen sizes, which consist of 47", 57", 65", 70", and 82" screens. All LE model specifications include a 120Hz refresh rate, Full 1080p HD, 178 degree viewing angle, 3 HDMI inputs, 2 Component video inputs, a VGA input, and one composite and S-Video jack.
