The Weight Is Over: Extra-Thin TVs Hit the Scales

This year's CES TV competition wasn't about how big TVs could be, but how thin they could get. Samsung, JVC, Hitachi, Panasonic, Sharp, Pioneer and developer LG.Philips were all showing off their rendition of belt-tightening in the flat-panel age. Some of you perceptively noted that up against a wall, inside a cabinet or on a stand, a 1" thick TV looks the same as a 20" thick TV, let alone a 5" thick set, so like big frickin' deal. We're with you. The truth is, while thin is sexy, the untold story is how much less this new crop of TVs will weigh. Both LCD and plasma will weigh substantially less in the coming years. How much less? Plasma will definitely drop more than LCD, but in both cases, the weight loss is astonishing. Jump for awesome chart: More »

LG.Philips Joins Herd Thinning with 19.8mm 120Hz LCD

Though neither LG nor Philips showcased a thin LCD in their spring lineups, their joint display development group LG.Philips is proudly displaying this 47" Ultra-Slim 120Hz LCD. How slim? 19.8mm, or about .77 inches, making it a lot thinner than the LCD TVs Hitachi is launching, and only a tad thicker than some of the other concepts we've seen. What's nice is that LG.Philips had the courtesy to show "before" and "after" shots of just how slender it had become. More shots and product details in the gallery. [LG.Philips] More »

LG.Philips Announces 16.7-Million Color Electronic Paper, Teases World Again

Oh LG.Philips, you are a cruel cruel mistress. You teased us with your flexible 4,096 A4 electronic paper last year and now you are at it again with a new bendy model of the same 14.3-inch size, now with 16 million colors, 1.280 x 800 pixels and 7,000 hours between charges using a typical battery. You say that the "penetration of the technology would be fast in Korea," but we know what you mean. You mean we will have to settle with just licking it in Vegas, along with the rest of the other always-coming-never-arriving cool technologies. I just hope it tastes better than it looks in the front photo: More »

LG Develops Smudge-Free LCD Screen: Touch Tablets Rejoice

I go into a conniption when I show someone something on my notebook and they press their dirty, oily finger into my screen, knowing I'll have to bust out an LCD wipe to restore its pristine state. No more! LG Philips LCD's latest LCD panel—which takes after non-stick frying pans&dmash;will let you wipe off smudges, fingerprints, ink (!) and other stickiness (ew) with your shirt, just like an iPhone. They go into mass production in the first half of '08, so they should start making touch computing a little less greasy by next summer. [AP/Yahoo!, Flickr]

LG Philips Shows Off its 47-inch LED Display

The folks at LG Philips seem to be right on track with their new LED-backlit LCD. They were caught showing it off again just months before its scheduled release. The TV packs a serious punch thanks to its 1080p resolution, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and 105% color gamut. Philips also showed off 5 other LED-based displays ranging in size from 7 to 26 inches. There's no word on pricing, but at this rate, we should find out sooner than later. – Louis Ramirez More »

Philips Readying its First LED-based 1080p Display

Even though they're a little late to the party, we're glad to hear that LG Philips will be rolling out its first LED backlit TV next quarter. The 47-inch display will have a progressive 1,920 x 1,080 resolution and because it's LED-based, it'll have an abnormally high dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. There's still no word on pricing, though we'd rather wait to find out than have another price goof. – Louis Ramirez More »

LG and Philips LCD Hone Cellphone Screens to 1.3mm

Instead of boring you to tears with pics and specs of every goddamn cellphone that's ever been released, let's just take a look at this one reed-thin screen that will tell you a lot about what's going to be happening with those ubiquitous communicators in the next few months. LG and Philips have somehow created an LCD screen that's between 32% and 55% slimmer than its nearest competitor, springing the caliper at a mere 1.3mm. Jeez, look at that—it's about the thickness of a credit card or a piece of cardboard. More »
