JVC Unveils World’s Thinnest TV … Or Not

You've probably seen the videos out there somewhere that show how impossibly thin an OLED screen can be. If you haven't check out our clip from PMA of OLED thinness; from the side it almost disappears. But I'm off topic. OLED is the definition of thin and would laugh at LCD's attempts to shed a centimeter or two ... until now. Samsung's 8.9 mm OLED was the king of thin, but JVC just trumped that record and drove Samsung into the dust with a 6.4 mm thick LCD SCREEN. Yeah pretty impressive ... but wait, there is a catch.



Sure they can technically say the GD-32X1 is 6.4 mm because it is ... at its thinnest point. The screen is only 6.4 mm, but they've bundled all the important stuff like circuitry, jacks, HDMI stuff and so forth in a box attached to the back of the screen. That would make it difficult to hang on the wall because this little add on measures a full 22.5 mm. Come on JVC, that's huge!

We're pretty certain we're not going to be giving JVC any awards for this. Congratulations on a really thin 32-inch LCD screen, we're proud. But let us know when the entire TV is actually 6.4 mm thick and then we'll be really impressed.
