LG to Unveil World

The LH95 measures under an inch thick and boasts a contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1.

LG got the hype ball rolling early for CES this week by dropping glimpses of an LCD TV it claims will be the world’s thinnest when the wraps comes off in Las Vegas next week. The LH95 LCD measures less than an inch thick, with a depth of only 0.98 inches.

Though the horizontal screen size of the new display hasn’t yet been specced, early images depict a screen that almost seems to disappear when viewed from the side due to its ultra-slim profile. AVING.net also claims the LH95 is driven by LEDs, features LG’s 240Hz TrueMotion Drive, and sports an astounding 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

No pricing or release date details have yet been announced, but LG will likely reveal more when CES commences on Jan. 8.

mechanical sky at 7:54pm 8th January 2009 Now it is Samsung. Now we can have TV which is just a quarter inch thick. It is thinner than mobile set. Thanks Samsung. www.mechanicalsky.com
Matthew Bulat at 7:18pm 7th January 2009 the use of LEDs will reduce the power consumption of the TV and last longer. The yearly savings in electricity and sometimes cooling would help compensate for a higher costs. If you want to find out how much your TV costs to run per year try my online appliance calculator.
