LG announces 2.6mm thick LCD panel

LG announces 2.6mm thick LCD panel Today LG Electronics announced a mew LCD TV panel which will be the world's thinnest, measuring just 2.6mm thick. The announcement was timed as a promotion for the company's exhibit at CES, where the new panels will be on display.
The reduction in panel thickness was made possible in part through the use of LED backlighting. This also improves image quality compared to older LCD panels

The panels also feature a 120Hz refresh rate and full HD (1080P) resolution.

Sorry, I don't understand what good a 2.6mm thick TV is.

The HDTVs these days are thin enough. Honestly, why would this make the viewing pleasure any better?

Is not more pleasurable, just easier to handle. Is so thin, you don't need a stand for it, you can just use duck tape to hang it on the wall.

That would be nice,I'd say thin enough, but you'd kinda loose portability once painted...

i aggree with this. i believe a thicker tv is better as they will have better speakers (as i dont have surround sound) and a <3mm thick tv seems easy to snap, sont you agree.

Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect
We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing.

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
