ULTRA THIN DISPLAY

Five years ago, LCD displays were just becoming a popular choice for HDTVs. A decade ago, they were just beginning to replace CRTs as the computer monitor of choice. Those early models seemed impossibly thin, but the new products at CES have taken thin displays to another level.
LG, Samsung, Sony and others showed a variety of LCD HDTVs and/or monitors that seemed straight out of a sci-fi movie. LG’s new line of computer monitors, which are just .28″ thin, were among the most impressive new displays. But the HDTVs were no less entrancing, and Samsung’s models seemed particularly impressive, thanks to bezels no thicker than the width of a pencil.
These are still traditional LCD displays with LED backlighting, as well. More exotic technologies, such as OLED, were not used to achieve these razor-thin results. Paper-thin displays no longer feel like speculation, but rather an inevitability that will surely arrive within the next five years.
