Okay really, besides the weight and looks of the casing of this TV... what is the point exactly? http://blogs.zdnet.com/home-theater/?p=2172&tag=nl.e539 When it comes to electronics, thin is pretty much always in. So everyone gets incredulous when the latest super-svelte HDTV is revealed, pondering just how close to the wall you can hang an ever-thinner screen. Today is another one of these days, as LG has unveiled a new LCD display that measures a mere 2.6mm—or 0.1 inch—thick. The 42-inch 1080p panel makes the company’s previous record-setting ultra-slim screen look corpulent at 5.9mm. LG says that using a combination of LED backlighting and “proprietary optical film technology†provided the breakthrough to make a TV an additional 3mm skinnier. Despite its debut, the panel wasn’t tied to a specific product announcement; the screen will be shown privately at CES next month, where LG may or may not reveal more details about its commercial availability....
I wonder how fragile this thing is, and what sort of picture quality it delivers. It would be OK to hang on a wall, but for a free-standing unit you would need a support frame for it anyway, so its thinness wouldn't be much of a benefit in that case.
so i guess this would essentially be those glass screens that we see in futuristic movies like minority report or even in star trek. HA! Hard to believe they can actually do those... now all they have to do is make them see-thru.
wow it looks good to see technology improving very fast. but i think it wont be more comfortable to use it, and it needs more protection for it. what about thinking of creating a 0.5inch notepad with full function of a desktop.
So true.. i thought about that. What about the power supply? HDMI inputs are thicker than .1 inch. I would think it has an external box or something to store the HDMI inputs and power supply.
