Not complaining (theres a first for an engadget post ;) ) but can anyone explain, why this super thin contest is going on?

I figured 4 inches is pretty damn thin, but still pretty robust, and they must be getting close to the limits of what is sensible quite soon, maybe already passed it, not that I'd complain about having a super thin TV (not planning to replace my 1080p loveliness anytime soon though! )]]>Aug 31st 2007 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/Nice to look at though.]]>Aug 31st 2007 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/
What am I missing here?]]>Aug 31st 2007 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/Aug 31st 2007 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/
And I don't imagine a retail version being this prettily mounted. Those look like custom mounts, or perhaps custom casing for the show.]]>Aug 31st 2007 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/Aug 31st 2007 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/
I would love to have an LCD as thin as this Sharp one because the back is COMPLETELY FLAT and doesn't protrude out (like my current LCD) and looks much neater to hang up on my wall. My aunt has a 60"+ LCD that she has bolted up on the wall and that thing just looks like a monstrosity. If it were as thin as this thing, it would look much cleaner against her wall.

Just my opinion . . . of course you don't necessarily need an LCD that thin, but if it makes it lighter and more convenient for some people then why not? Especially if it was lighter, then I wouldn't mind getting an LCD that's even bigger than 37" (not that it's heavy but it just gets difficult moving it around after awhile, especially up the stairs).]]>Aug 31st 2007 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/Aug 31st 2007 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/hands-off-with-the-impossibly-thin-sharp-lcd-prototypes/Sep 3rd 2007 8:53PM
