Much thinner than a pencil.
When it comes to technology, thin is still in. No matter what is, we always marvel at the slim laptops or cell phones. Of course, the slimming of mobile products makes sense, since they aid in portability. But now we get to marvel at the slimness of the latest Samsung LCD, which measures just 3.9mm thick (or thin).
Despite being around 0.15-inches thick – about a third of the thickness of previous models – the LCD gives up nothing in high-definition quality. It features a 120Hz LCD panel and a 5000:1 contrast ratio, according to Akihabara News.
Sadly, this panel isn't integrated into any shipping product yet, but Samsung is surely working on it.

Wow, now I can just use a nail to hang it on my wall!
They appropriately have a hot Korean girl and a pencil to show just how awesome it is.
I'm sorry, but does anyone see the TV the article is talking about? All I see is twins looking at me. Heh, j/k Good going Samsung.
Thin with a 5000:1 contrast ratio, it's just that, thin.
just 5000 thats pathetic come on samsung i know you can do better. we all know you have ones with 5,000,000:1 ratios
Sorry to hear that Marcus
Lol is it just me, or does the chic in the screen look hotter ?
I wanna see what the back looks like...
OF THE TV
just 5000 thats pathetic come on samsung i know you can do better. we all know you have ones with 5,000,000:1 ratios
Any ration above 5000 you need to take the # with a grain of salt. Generally they report Dynamic Contrast Ratio as Contrast Ratio when you're looking at something with 1000 times the normal ratio. It's up to you to be a smart consumer and ask what ratio they are reporting.
I think this is cool, but thin for a wall mounted stationary display is just a gimmick to me. Keep the thickness under ~5" and I'm on to more important specs, like resolution, pixel density, screen size, contrast ratio (both types), etc.
Its a shame the cables will ruin the look and function of it
How thin is it compared to her waist?
It's most likely a typo. The majority of 120hz are 50,000:1 or higher contrast ratios

Funny, I was thinking the same thing...
Its a shame the cables will ruin the look and function of it
Rewire! put everything behind the TV! Well you kindof need to know how to work with electrical wiring and stuff but it's doable, cousin of mine did it in his entire house, all you see is floating TV with a DVR on a small shelf under it, very kewl and clean looking.
Thats sexy. I want one!
I'll take the girl instead....
mmmmmm twins...
Oh funny it's two chicks. They had for for a minute wondering how they got that mirror image that wasnt really a mirror image. If you zoom in on the enlarged photo you will see the little fake tattoo on the forheads is in a different spot. So I agree the hot one IS on the left. Nice trick.

I really hope you were joking. That's very obviously a watermark on the photo.
Now i'll just wait for amazon bundle deal to get the hot korean for free..
Was joking.
Samsung is the only LCD vendor that doesn't have 24 bit true color S-IPS LCD panel event their flagship is TN 18 bit emulation
.
That is nice.. How much is it???
I wanna know what the "digital window" is in the background!

girl on the screen is ugly as f
lol there is no cable problem b/c the TV is wireless
I know we are still marvelling at the advance of the technology, but I'd like to see someone try and increase the reliability of it before anything more.
Most TV's come with a 1 year warranty. Warranties typically are only as long as they are because a manufacturer knows that during that time period, most of their (product type here) won't have major problems. Exceptions to this would be like Dodge's Lifetime Powertrain Warranty: they couldn't sell the cars without it (and to prove that they don't really believe it will last forever, if you sell the car the warranty goes back to like a 5 year job).
I currently have several LCD's, and one is already showing some problems. My Sony, Westinghouse and Samsungs are fine, but a Sharp is giving me weird density issues.
so, what does the Wii-mote do to this TV?

Im just trying to figure out what mirror makes either image of that woman look hot.. i just dont see it. I guess i could try funny mirrors but i dont think thats going to help her either.
