    Make the WHOLE damn wall a HDTV (as in Total Recall fame).

    Correct me if I'm wrong, aren't all this range of anorexic displays call LED TV? Not LCD TV

    Too thin for even HDMI connectors, let alone RCA jacks, toslink jacks, power cables, etc., which are probably handled by a standalone unit or something. I'd rather it be a full inch thick and have standard connectors. Really, the picture frames in my room are thicker, anything under 2 inches from the wall is "thin enough" that other features in the tradeoff matter more.


    For comparison, the top section of my white macbook is 8-9mm.


    The innovation I want is to be able to upload an ICC profile to the unit so it can display accurate colors.

    It's weird when I look at my 10mm thick ring, and think that this tv is thinner than it.

    All this talk of thin-ness brought to mind the good old times, when the slim discman was king [and when Sony was top dog]. I think it was Sony that started the trend of super-miniaturization, with its top-notch engineering and a regular stream of superlative products in the 80s and 90s. The D-J50 comes to mind - remember those?


    Here are some noteworthy products from their archives -

    @Soyerzzz: It's about advancing technology in all aspects. The thinner you can make LCD screens, the larger the applications. (Although OLED is going to PWN LED's, so it's pretty much all for phail anyway.)

    @Kakkoister: Indeed. At the very least, they are developing technology that will lead to better and cheaper products in the future. That is the point of the highest-end anything. Very few people will buy them, but they will trickle down once they get cheaper.

    Not worried about it right now.


    I just picked up a 19" HD LCD for my den and will be getting a 26" HD LCD for the bedroom really soon.


    (Our current 1992 Magnetbox 27" is only going to be fixed by banging on the top of it but so may times before it craps out altogether.)


    The only bad part is that I watch more television now.

    I may have to upgrade to a 46" HDTV then. I have a 34" Sony XBR CRT now (4 years old).


    Any suggestions in the $1000-$1500 price range for an LCD?

    @OMG! Chrismukkah!: Keep the 34" XBR if you're only looking to spend up to 1500. Your set is one of the best TVs ever made. You will be let down by the picture of a samsung compared to the CRT you have now (even if it does way 300 lbs. more). Save your pennies and get a Sony Z series.

    @I_Sell_TVs: My TV only weighs 200 pounds.


    Of course, the TV stand weighs 75 pounds because it's made from hardwood, not pressboard, so that it will support a 200 lb. TV.
