FPD International: yeah, we're there with Samsung's 1-cm thin 40-inch LCD

See that? No, not the panel on the wall, the 1-cm thin 40-incher standing in profile. That's the new Samsung we told you about yesterday all unwrapped and on the floor live at the FPD (Flat Panel Display) International show in Japan. More good news: although yesterday's press shot featured a Photoshopped display, this functional prototype is flaunting a true video feed. So head on over to Engadget Japan who's doing it up live if you just can't wait for our English translation.

Oh, it's still a Photoshop.

Too bad a decent picture couldn't be taken. With all the overexposure and glossiness of the stand, I can't make out what's what.

1cm? Imagine throwing a wiimote at it and watch your entire lcd break into pieces...

notice the amount of wires going out the back, there is gonna be a nice sized addition when they put the tuner and inverter for the back light and anything else lcd tvs need.

:P

Looks more like one inch from the pic. Plus, where are all those wires in the back going to? Some huge power supply? :P I'm kidding.. This is really cool. :)

So does something that thin have the potential of warping over time, or if I have my window open, will a strong breeze knock it over?
