That's their whole point. Then you'll have to buy a new one.]]>Dec 21st 2009 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/
Just like I'm almost certain Apple makes their headphones with the rubbery finish which tangles them beyond belief that I get tempted to yank them till they snap causing me to buy a new pair.

But at the same time why don't they put the rubbery finish on their phones? Because then they won't slip out of your hands and fall to the ground causing you to buy a new one.

You see where I'm getting at?]]>Dec 21st 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/Dec 21st 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/Well, a stretch of imagination ..might do you some good]]>Dec 22nd 2009 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/Look in her pants. ]]>Dec 22nd 2009 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/Dec 21st 2009 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/Dec 21st 2009 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/LG announces LCD screen in a can.

Have you guys already developed the perfect TV so that the thickness of the case is the only thing left to "improve" upon?

Though there was one recently that attached to the back of the panel, like a wafer. That's the right way to think...]]>Dec 21st 2009 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/Some of these really thin displays still have a block of electronics sticking out the back.

Technically, this particular model is a display, not a TV, and my guess is that it's probably Displaylink-only to avoid just that feature you described.]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/
Hey while you are at it....make the communication between the "Brick" and the TV wireless, and even make the power wireless...

And it only takes one person to lift it up into place and hook it onto the wall brackets.

What's that got to do with a TV set?]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/
Any 42" flat tv needs large frames that cost a lot of money, because they need to withstand the force of a 50# TV with acceleration from an earthquake, as much as 25 mph. Imagine a 50# dumb bell being thrown at you at 25 mph...

Are you going to be able to keep standing?

Now imagine if that object was 9#.

With a 9# TV, you don't need to worry about attaching to multiple studs in the wall with 4+ screws. Now you can literally mount it to any wall or ceiling without it pulling out of the wall.

If you've ever lived through an earthquake, this matters a big deal.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/
Cables = 3 inches thick

Yeah but what's the fucking picture like? Is it like the majority of edge-lit LED panels with poor uniformity and terrible viewing angles?

This new focus on who can make the thinnest screen is self-defeating unless you want something that just looks good when it's switched off or don't care about what it looks like when switched on.

How about finally fixing the black levels on CCFLs LCDs and the halo effects on LED backlit models before rushing off to work on another design that still has the same shortcomings?]]>Dec 21st 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/Dec 21st 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/Dec 21st 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/Dec 21st 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/Dec 21st 2009 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/lg-announces-worlds-thinnest-42-inch-lcd-panel/so happy i've waited to get a flat screen TV :)
