Story link: Sony announces 9.9mm LCD HDTV by Jan Harris
Sony has announced the world’s thinnest LCD HDTV, the KDL-40ZX1 which measures just 9.9mm at its thinnest point, and weighs in at 26 pounds.
The previous title-holder, a Hitachi HDTV, was nearly twice as thick.
The 40-inch KDL-40ZX1 display features LED backlighting, 3,000:1 contrast ratio, 120Hz MotionFlow tech, x.v.Color and BRAVIA Engine 2 image processing.
There is only one HDMI port in the screen, but an external port box provides 3 HDMI, 2 component, s-video, VGA, USB, mouse, and LAN connections.
The set is retailing in Japan for 490,000 yen ($4,474 U.S.).

Sonys KDL-40ZX1 has only recently been released in the UK, but its well worth the wait. Its thinness is down to Sony’s revolutionary LED edge lighting system which are much smaller than CCFL backlights as used in ordinary LCD tvs. But despite its small size is still a very competent Full HD television with a versaile range of connection possibilities.
