Hitachi To Sell 1.5-inch Ultra Thin Plasma Next Year
Posted by Mark Wilson at 1:59 AM on June 13, 2008
At CES, Hitachi showed off an impressive 1.5-inch-thin plasma display. Today at the CEA industry update the company has told us that the concept will become a reality when the televisions go on sale in the US sometime during 2009. They also hinted that LED-backlit LCDs could be available in as little as 6 months. As for OLED, that's still a ways off.
AU: Remember Australia, Hitachi doesn't care much for us anymore, so we won't be seeing this down here ever.

@RED_SIX:
Look at the guy's hand to the left. It means it is 1.5 inches thick (maybe at its thickest point?).

Lose the crowbar stand and now you're talkin. It just looks so awkward.

@Kaiser-Machead's got LindsayJoy's cookies on the SuperDrive: Oh, but the design, so evocative of the iMac - how can you denigrate something so Apple-esque?!?! You risk being pelted to death with first-generation iPhones.

Hitachi, take note... I need 65" no less.... start with the big ones, not the other way around.
Please? :)

Hitachi's are usually as much as Pioneer Elite's so I'm curious to see how much this would cost.
