Samsung unveils world's slimmest Television.

​

SEOUL (AFP) — South Korea's Samsung Electronics on Monday unveiled what it says is the world's slimmest LCD (liquid crystal display) TV.

The new product, measuring only 6.5 millimetres (0.26 inch) thick, is thinner than any other existing TV set, and even slimmer than most mobile handsets, Samsung said in a statement.

Its thickness is one seventh of Samsung's "Bordeaux 850" LCD TVs, which is currently the thinnest on the market, the company said.

The new product, which adopts an LED (light emitting diode) backlighting system, will be on display at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 8 to 11, Samsung added.

Dont you think this is AWSOME !!!!!

 

Wow. So beautiful. What about the price of it?

 

Will be much higher than the normal TV's For sure..

 

hm.. Within 2 yeqrs we can expect TV with the thickness of papers rite?LOL

 

Lmao so true, just what I was thinking. I would love to have one of those, but I bet they cost a fortune

 

They wouldnt probably, It would just get broken in an instant, NO use of paper type thin TV's

Although these TV's might become handy aswell.. I wonder how will this TV go on my wall.. the screws will tear it apart..

 

Pretty cool. Wonder what they will do next. I don't think a tv could get any slimmer.

 

Looking for similar pc screen .
Foldable screen is more excited .

 

Wow.

I won't wonder if they would come up with a TV that's as thin as my compact powder's mirror.

 

Wow thats stunning and I bet it will have a stunning price tag too

 

It's most probably only for the multi millionares for now, but in a few years time i guess the price will come down so that its a more viable option >_>

 

its price will be very high

 

Samsung is great brand, and we all expect such things from them. I'm using Samsung monitors for years.

 

So slim..unbelieveable >.< Not even 1 cm, omg

 

this is great things are moving so fast in this area...I hope with time the prices will be lower and lower

 

In 2 years we'll watch tv in books. Kiddin' but this is another huge step into put more trash in our planet. Imagine how many miilions of old tvs will go to trash in some years replaced by LCD's... etc etc

 

looks great let me buy this one as soon as possiable.

 

thats some cool shit

 

Cool! The next slimest tv I would imagine would be as thin as a sheet of paper

 

That's insane! ...5 years from now we'll look back at this Tv and laugh at its mammoth-size!
