Samsung introduces thinnest full HD LCD TV

22 October 2007 22:07 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 15 comments

At the FPD International 2007 show in Japan this week, Samsung has introduced a new 40-inch diagonal Full HD LCD TV panel that is an extremely thin, measuring in at 10mm thick.

The new thin-film-transistor (TFT) LCD is the thinnest profile ever for a full-size HDTV. 10mm is the typical thickness of 20-inch LCD computer monitors, which are generally significantly thinner than regular HDTV sets.

According to Dailytech, "The screen is backlit using LEDs and can reproduce 92% of the NTSC standard for color saturation. Power consumption is reported to be 90 watts or less."

Just under a half inch for those metricly challenged (about 0.4") Pretty dang thin and pretty sweet-- the bezel's probably wider than the screen is thick from looking at the pic. [ + quote]

maybe its aimed at mounting on the wall, like a picture :P but yea that thing would probably fall down quite easily, the base doesn't even look strong enough to support it [ + quote]

bikini models are more fit to model LCD tv's. Fully clothed ones should be reserved to salad spinners on QVC [ + quote]

This is the PANEL. It is not the TV. You have to add the chasis, power supply, and electronics. Let's see how thick it gets when it's finished. [ + quote]
