JVC 5kg 32-inch LCD to be the lightest, greenest at CES?

While Samsung's latest may be slightly narrower, JVC swears its CES prototype will be the lightest 32-inch LCD out, weighing a mere 5kg its perfect for ceiling mounted installations. At 7mm thick they've managed to squeeze 1080p resolution and LED backlighting out of 50% of the materials and less mercury used to produce current designs. A hands on should settle the battle of the thin, expect iPhone comparison pics and contentious weigh ins usually reserved for heavyweight bouts this week in Las Vegas.

Think of all the trees you need to cut down to make the money to pay for this though, unless I'm guessing wrong about the price.

Money, in the US, Europe and mostly elsewhere is made of cotton.....so trees are safe!

Think of all the trees cut down to create room for the cotton fields to make the money to pay for this.

id love to have one but these will probably cost like $3000

[Adderz @ Jan 5th 2009 3:17AM]

Ah yes, the iphone comparisons..why we still use inches and cm's i will never know.

[B3astofthe3ast @ Jan 5th 2009 5:16AM]

Yes, we should form a worldwide unit based on the iphone! Just imagine the glory! 6 iphones thick...70 Kiloiphones tall, as small as 4 nanoiphones......it's so ingenious that it must already be in Steve Jobs's new world order plan!

Sorry for picking up on the one thing apple

But in that link the iPhone comparison, use a better angle or better focus or something. It just looks so blurry. Even though its a real camera hopefully

[nowayman @ Jan 5th 2009 3:24AM]

whats with all the Guiness World Records contenders for thinnest LCD products?

[Apple measurements are king @ Jan 5th 2009 6:06AM]

According to engadget i think the record at the moment is 2.3 iPhones thin.

[igor z @ Jan 5th 2009 4:13PM]

it's beautiful the things i would do for something like this, and it's the perfect size

[Johan S @ Jan 5th 2009 3:41AM]

When they make a 65 or 72 inch version (which should in theory weigh 20kg or less) I'm buying it.

[FILA @ Jan 5th 2009 5:23AM]

well i def pick this over the piece of shit samsung, even thou im not thrilled over this model of JVC, i like JVC thou.

and yes, iphone comparison test, thats what were all waiting for...fucking shit.

[koala72 @ Jan 5th 2009 6:03AM]

iPhone comparison? What the fuck?
If i was interested in this TV wouldnt i be looking for a comparison with...i dont know...another fucking LCD TV.

[superhobo @ Jan 5th 2009 8:11AM]

You know a site has sold out to Apple when it compares TVs to mobile phones.

Does that sucker look like it's hanging upside down? What's up with the thick bezel at the top?

I love these graphic guys who show off products but ignore the ugly cables required for it to be useful. Imagine this hanging from your ceiling with a obtrusive power cord running towards the floor.

[Joe Anstine @ Jan 5th 2009 3:36PM]

that is a hot tv (minus the stand) but I'm sure out the door it will cost some exorbitant amount of money and they don't say anything about specs (refresh rate, colors, ect.) but either way it is still gorgeous.

[umm....hello??? @ Jan 5th 2009 4:33PM]

so where'd they hide all the electronics/speakers for this TV?? where do I plug in all my videogame systems?

[Wwhat @ Jan 6th 2009 3:44AM]

I don't particularly like the design either, and I don't see a huge need to make LCD's even thinner, but I guess it's good for some cases if you want to install it flush or inside some flat surface, but to have it on a stand being super thin, what's the bloody point.

[etane @ Jan 6th 2009 5:22PM]

RAB: I think that "thick bezel at the top" probably a VESA mounting bracket.
