LG's super slim LED backlit LCD packing wireless HD, DivX HD

Finally ready to give up further details on its 24.8-mm thick LED backlit LH95 (apparently dubbed the LH9500 in the UK), revealing to Stuff.tv we can expect a 55-inch HDTV with wireless HD box included. DivX HD support on the panel itself (sorry, no word about any Netflix streaming abilities just yet) via USB or Bluetooth makes sure there will be plenty to watch on the 2,000,000:1 contrast screen with 240Hz technology. At least on paper, one of the slimmest, best looking LCDs we've heard about so far, we'll see if it impresses in person shortly.

first douche bag? yes!

Okay, is this a 16:9 display? It definitely looks like one, and it caught my eye. ;)

Thin is awesome, but I hope it doesn't thin consumer wallets too.

All of LG's TVs are priced very competitively. At least here in Australia, their 50" 1080p plasma which has an inbuilt twin-HD PVR is only $300 more than the one without. Let's hope the 'premium' margin stays about as low as this.

nice!

Thin is nice, but modern lcds seem thin enough. When buying a tv i dont think "i need the thinnest tv they make" I just want the best picture possible

[finite_rings @ Jan 5th 2009 3:51AM]

thin is cool, but if i can't fold it up and slip it into my pocket, there's no point.
so unless this comes out (way) affordable, consumers will stick to the old fashioned "thick" lcd's

[KilgoreTrout @ Jan 5th 2009 8:41AM]

I would be ready to pay a (reasonable) premium for the thinness, but only if the cables ' plugs: there is not much point in having an ultra thin monitor if on its back you are gonna have the usual thick ugly cables sticking out and keeping it away from the wall on which you hang it or against which you place it.

[I87PROOF @ Jan 5th 2009 4:03AM]

WOW I want one

[Uncontrol @ Jan 5th 2009 4:51AM]

finally i can fit my tv into the only centimeter of space left in my house

[FILA @ Jan 5th 2009 5:26AM]

i dont think i can get this through my door, shit ima have to cut a hole in the bitch, its just to big, ill never be able to fit it in the house.

"hey dude, turn the tv around the other way"
"oh"

[KilgoreTrout @ Jan 5th 2009 8:45AM]

The cables plugs?
I'm pretty sure this is not what I had written.
Engadget commenting system is always full of surprises.
Anyway , I think what I meant is clear enough

[finite_rings @ Jan 6th 2009 11:06AM]

this tv has wireless HD according to the article, so maybe just dongles for your hardware? i get what you're saying though because cords make up the bulk of the mess in my setup, not the screen

[Scott @ Jan 5th 2009 4:46PM]

Oh, I thought it was Microsoft's fault.

[GFunk84 @ Jan 5th 2009 12:58PM]

Okay, I think TVs are thin enough.

Now how about flush-mounting the screen with the bezel so it doesn't reflect the image on all 4 sides?

I'd also like to see more of a focus on useful features, like eliminating input lag.

It'll be great to see this bad boy done up in some digital signage applications.
