LG Display unveils world's thinnest TV panel

[Lil' ½ Dead]

Taking a break from the multitude of 3D-related announcements LG is drawing our attention towards another big selling point for today's HDTVs. The company has unveiled a 42-inch 1080p panel that's just 2.6mm (or 0.1 inch) thick, surpassing the world's thinnest record set by Samsung Electronics at 3.9 millimeters, and significantly improving upon their previous 5.9mm thick model.


The company accomplished this through the use of an edge-lit LED backlight, a new optical film and a few other techniques it plans to discuss further next month at CES. The prototype panel offers a 120Hz refresh rate and weights under 8.8 pounds, making it ideal for wall-mounted TVs. That is of course once they start hitting the production lines, which could be a while considering the 5.9mm-thin panels LG showed off earlier this year still haven't.

This was demoed in Seoul a few days ago for the media in the ongoing battle with Samsung.

Here in Korea LG commands the top 3 spots on the list of best selling LCD TV models.

I bought a Samsung 40" LED 7000 a few months ago and am very happy with it except the domestic model has no language option.There's only Korean.

It connects wirelessly to the router to get news,stock market and firmware updates or share content.
