You don’t usually hear many people complaining that their TV is too big. Unless they’re talking about how thick it is, then the people still using old CRTs are usually the only ones complaining. However, if your LCD TV is just too thick for your taste, Samsung has the perfect one for you.
Samsung’s latest LCD TV is literally flat as a pancake. It has a thickness of just 0.39 inches, or for those using the Metric system, that’s 10 millimeters. Not only is it thin, but it only consumes a measly 90 watts of power. The great thing about low-power products is that you can tell yourself (and your spouse) that you’re saving the environment by upgrading.
There aren’t a lot of details other than the thickness and screen size (40 inches if you’re curious). Samsung will be showing it off at FPD International in Japan, so I’m sure we’ll have more details soon.

Why not just say it is 10 millimeters? The “preferred” system of measurement is actually the Metric System anyway. And honestly, if you provide fractions of an inch in decimal form, most people don’t know what that means anyway. It’s time to dump the inch, foot, pound and gallon…

Unfortunately, here in the US, it is not the “preferred” system of measurement. Many people have no frame of reference for 10 millimeters. at least with it being a fraction of an inch, they get the idea. However, I included both so that everyone would understand.
Believe me, I wish that we could all use the same system of measurement, but that would only be in a perfect world…
