LG announces "world's thinnest" 42-inch LCD panel

Posted by Faux Or Fake | Posted in | Posted on





LG unveiled today a 2.6mm ultra-thin LCD Panel in the size of 42-inches marking with it the new world's thinnest LCD display.
LG will build a 42-inch edge LED backlit TV around the 2.6mm thin panel that will weigh less than 4kg.
LG will have a special section at their CES 2010 booth that will feature Extreme Slim LCD products.
Like at CES 2009, thin TVs are still a hot trend for 2010. In the years before the size of TVs mattered most. Now TV makers try to dazzle use with thinner and thinner displays, which at some point really is not bringing that much benefit. As with the LG Extreme Slim LCD TV, you will need a separate box with the tuner and other TV electronics that is not fitting into the mm thin casing. Of course you also can forget about integrated speakers.

If you have a spot in your living room where you can show off the "thinness of your TV" than it is a nice gimmick, but if you only see your TV from the front it does really not matter how thin it is.

CES 2010 will start on 7th of January 2010 and lasts until 10th. Of course CES news are already pouring in. Read them in our CES 2010 section.
