Samsung reveals world’s thinnest LCD TV

Samsung has reclaimed the thinnest LCD TV title with its ‘Needle Slim’ model which is based on LED technology and measures just 3.9mm thick, although it is still a prototype at the moment.

The Full HD model is 2mm thinner than LG’s previous title holder, yet still offers a 5000:1 contrast ratio and 120Hz refresh rate.

The 40-inch Needle Slim features LED based edge-lighting, and a new optical film manufacturing process ensures that light is spread evenly behind the screen.

Samsung’s thriving TV business helped the company triple its net income to 3.72 trillion won for the last quarter.

Sales of LED and 240Hz TV panels increased during the quarter.
