LG has pulled the wraps off what it claims to be the world’s thinnest LED backlit high definition television. The LH95 is apparently a mere 24.8mm in depth, but manages to deliver a staggering 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio.
We tend to take contrast ratio claims with a pinch (nay, a fistful) of salt, but that figure matches the claims of Philips’ LED Lux television, the TV we recently spent a few days with and found to have the best black levels we’ve ever seen on an LCD screen. If LG can match that performance in a wafer-thin body, they’re on to a winner.
Annoyingly, AVING’s report on the television doesn’t tell us how big the screen actually is, although judging by the picture we’d say it’s probably around the 40-inch mark. We do know that it supports LG’s 240Hz TrueMotion Drive technology (which quadruples the frame rate to smooth out motion, so will probably be 200Hz in any PAL model that eventually launches in the UK), and that it has already bagged the 2009 CES Innovation Award in the Display category. CES is next week, so we’ll get up close and personal with this and much, much more then.
