Thinnest television, LCD

LG Korea has created a fully hi-def (1,920 x 1,080 pixel) liquid-crystal display panel that is a mere 2.6 mm (0.10 in) thick ­ thinner than a UK £1 coin. The 106-cm (42-in) screen uses an ultraslim LED blacklighting system, and the entire unit weighs just 4.2 kg (9 lb 4 oz).
