This news made me an LG fan.
LG Electronics just recently announced that they have come up with a 5.9 mm thick LCD to beat the 7 mm previous record by JVC with a 32″ LCD TV. These things are getting thinner and thinner!
How do they do it? Well, they incorporate LED lighting into the design. Instead of the usual CCFL backlighting, these sexy things utilize light-emitting diodes or commonly known as LEDs as backlight.
LG is not releasing these things out to the market yet though. The LED types still has a long way to go in the wallet-friendliness department and they will be very expensive if they come out right now.
How is the picture quality in these thin LCD TVs? It seems no one has any ideas yet. This news site is putting a little doubt on the picture quality side as no one has really seen actual working samples of these TVs.
I predict that they would probably be really good but I will have to see a real sample to come up with a final verdict.
Wow. A couple of score of years ago or so, televisions were like huge house furniture. Now we can literally hang them on walls! This thin lg lcd tv is just about 13.4 lbs which is way lighter than my dog (i could probably play catch with my dog with this tv).
Oh. Did I mention that this thin LG LCD TV is HD? 
The Girl and the New Flat Screen TV (This always works). The TV's so thin I didn't even see it's there!
