Review: The World’s Thinnest LCD HDTVs

2:00AM Wilson Rothman | digg_skin = 'compact'; digg_bgcolor = '#f1f8fa'; digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Review_The_World_s_Thinnest_LCD_HDTVs'; It’s not every day that you get to check out the world’s thinnest LCD HDTV, let alone all three “ultrathins” currently in production, but that’s what’s going down. Sharp’s super insane new flagship, the Limited Edition Aquos LC-65XS1U-S, arrived at my door in a bulletproof shipping container, 138 pounds of metal and glass measuring 65 inches diagonal that you can barely see from the side. Yes, in spite of its full-frontal gravitas, it measures only an inch thick at its edge, and a slightly more flexed 2 inches in the middle. It’s gorgeous and ridiculous and designed to hang on a wall with no more protrusion than a dainty sketch in a frame—only it can blast Casino Royale at 1080p, 24 frames per second, while your face melts, and I’d have to sell my car twice over to buy it. I love you Giz readers too much to stop with something that none of us can actually afford—and if you can afford it, you’ll be decent enough to not let us know—so I called in the new slender 1080p models from Hitachi and JVC, too. As much lower-priced sets, I thought they’d just be the icing on Sharp’s Limited Edition cake, but they turned out to be, in their own right, fine specimens. Let’s review, shall we?

Samsung Ultrathin TV Looks Like Giant iPhone 3G

2:25AM Jesus Diaz | Scratch one more notch for Apple design influence, because next year’s top-of-the-range Samsung Ultrathin All-In-One looks like an oversized iPhone 3G, down to the finish in black or white. The 52-inch TV–which is 1-inch at its thickest point–includes all the circuitry and ports in its ultra-slim body, with no breakout boxes or hunchbacks. The result is the slickest TV we have seen in the whole of IFA 2008, beating the Sony ZX1. And the best looking so far this year. More »
