Samsung unveils world's slimmest TV

I can't wait to see this TV in action. Hopefully one day I will have one. Even though I don't really need a new TV. I like my LCD right now just fine. I wonder if this is going to start a new wave of TV that are going to start being made. I also wonder how heavy the new Samsung TV weighs.


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.
