Hitachi Ultrathin TVs main

Hitachi slimmed today’s TVs from four inches to 1.5 by improving current technology. A new diffuser sits right against the backlight yet still spreads light evenly across the screen, and a specially developed power supply is one third as thick. From $1,500 (32-inch screen); hitachi.us/tv

Comments

It's about time we see these come into the consumer market. As someone pointed out, thinner tvs mean fewer resources are needed to make it, and therefore less energy consumption.
