Samsung unveils 7mm thick TV

Samsung has plans to unveil a flat-panel LCD TV 6.5-7mm thick according to Macworld.  The unveiling will take place at this weeks International Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas.  This new gem will be sporting an LED light LCD panel which more and more TV manufacturers are slowly transitioning over to.  LED’s last longer, give off better overall brightness, and have less power consumption than the typical fluorescent back-lights.  Without a doubt, this technology will bridge the gap between LCD and the upcoming OLED technology’s.  Sony was first to release a not-so-affordable 11″ OLED flat panel TV a while back for $2,499, we are waiting for the competition to step up to the plate to initiate price wars.  Then this will be followed up by a 2nd generation release of this technology which will hopefully be more affordable for the typical consumer.
