I agree, and I'd rather not have that hideous thing always staring back at me.]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/
Agreed 100%. I'm no stranger to eating my words but I just can't imagine that I would ever really care that my TV or computer monitor is less than a centimeter thick. I'd far rather have a thicker set with even (in the sense of uniformity), RGB LED BACKlighting than a thin, EDGE-lit LED TV, especially if it's only using white LEDs (not saying this does, just saying I'd prefer the advantages of backlighting).]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/True. I dont care much about how thin it is - no one ever comes over and stare at the edge or side of my TV. The action is on the front so I'd rather have a thin bezel or none at all, and have the electronics stuffed in the back.

Hopefully, the usual bevy of connections will all be included; Im not a lover of wireless.]]>Jan 6th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/
other than that though I agree how thin does it need to be]]>Jan 6th 2010 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/

I'd still have a Kuro over this.

Yeah ! big ugly box ! Unfortunately you can't do without , this must be the tuner and all the electronics ! That's why it looks so thin !]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/
The problem is why? At a certain point its too thin .YOu still need a wide base if its not connected to a wall.

Also as many people have found out having a thinner tv on a wall is not always the best. The mounting brackets tend to distort the picture if to tight due to the thinness of the set.

So thin is not always the BEST.]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/
I have an LCD on the wall of my bedroom that I can see the side of and behind it when I walk in the door. It's about 4years old and I will defintely buy something super thin to replace it. ]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/Jan 6th 2010 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-6-9mm-thin-led-backlit-lcd-hands-on-at-ces/
