@Curves: Well, the fact that people pay money to watch movies in theaters implies that we would all have 20' screens if it was possible. The limiting factor is therefore the size of the rooms in which TVs are placed. The size at which TVs are "too big" is the size at which they cannot be comfortably placed into a normal person's living room.
@Curves: Never too big. NEVERRRRR. Got my 50" six months ago. I wish it was 100". Bigger is better, I'm not sure I care about measuring the ideal viewing distance to my couch (I keep moving it closer). Now who's gunna say it, hmm?
I always read these types of press releases thinking "Hmm, that would look good in my living room, I wonder how much it costs" and typically it ends with me feeling inadequate, but this time you didn't post prices... so I had to search. Which made me feel like a really inadequate time waster.
Why did Bugatti build a car and sell it for $1.5 million when you can get a perfectly good Nissan Versa that will drive you to as many places for $9k? And has cup Holders?
Why do people pay $100 for fillet mignon when you can go to Carls jr. and buy a Famous Star for $1.50?
Why do millionaires date women like Adriana Lima when Helga down the street with the humpback will blow you for $2 and a jar of pigs feet?
Why buy a Macbook when you can buy a Acer Aspire One for $350 and install Linux?
@nutbastard: Don't blame me i voted for Ron Paul edition: nutbastard, pay attention in math class. Inches are base 12 which divides in to 3rds evenly. Your problem lies with converting a fraction to a decimal. I assure you that if you measured this to the nanometer you would find it to be .33333333332 or another decimal that actually does resolve in a non-repeating decimal but that still measures to with-in the acceptable margin-for-error for fractions of inches.
It's called being facetious. I do ASME drawings for a living. I know more about manufacturing processes than you can imagine. Also, d-bag, if you measured to a nanometer (1 Inch = 25400000 Nanometers ) you would have many more decimal places.
WYF, why does it matter so much how thin it is...? I really don't care that my TV's viewing surface is 4" from the wall that it is mounted on. I just don't understand, make the picture better and add an inch and I would rather go for that.
@OdeliaTermite: Actually, when Pioneer made their 9mm Kura Concept, they were able to produce deeper blacks than they ever did before. I wonder if Panasonic was able to produce the same achievement by going thinner.
@OdeliaTermite: There is a surprisingly large market for people who want to kill off their spouse with a TV (primarily for insurance reasons). Unfortunately, the new flat screen TV's make that extremely difficult because of their light weight. However, this model is knife thin and make accidental decapitation a real possibility. This item will do well in that market segment.

You can be a quarter inch 'on the dot', but not third.
