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?

BECAUSE YOU CAN!!

is it really possible to be "1/3 of an inch on the dot"?

0.333333333333333333333333333333... and the 3's keep going forever.

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

@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.

douchebag.

@KanSer:

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.

REALLY WHAY DOES IT MATTER SO MUCH????????

@OdeliaTermite: thinner = lighter, and less obtrusive. General population 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.
