JVC shows off LED-backlit, 7mm-thin 1080p LT-32WX50 LCD HDTV

CEDIA's UK show is going on right now across the pond, and while things are rather quiet overall, JVC has definitely garnered a fair bit of attention with its 32-inch LT-32WX50. The 1080p set features 100Hz dejudder technology, a 4,000:1 contrast ratio, 90 percent of Adobe's RGB color space and -- here's the real kicker -- a thickness of just seven millimeters. The whole panel weighs just 11 pounds, meaning that even the weaklings should be able to transport, move and install this one sans any overpriced help from Geek Squad. Around back, there's a pair of HDMI inputs, a PC port, an SD card slot and a USB connector. If all goes well, it should start hitting retailers this fall, but there's no mention of when it'll ship stateside.

Why is the thinness "the real kicker"? Who cares. Performance, features, price, power consumption - those are the things that matter. This whole thinness race is so ridiculous. I'm continuously amazed at how much press thinness gets on EHD given that this is supposed to be a technically-oriented site.

I totally agree! Even for mounting, anything thinner than 1.5 inches is useless. Are picture frames too thick now? Who gives a damn?

Improve the tech, especially the panel itself. No more backlight issues, crappy viewing angles etc.

Same here, I couldn't care less for a 1 or 2 inch thinner screen. It's the picturequality that matters and the new edge lit leds don't impress me at all!

Pay attention to the very low 4000:1 contrast ratio! The Panasonic plasma's have a 40.000:1 native contrast and that is a very important part of picture quality and so are the details in black etc etc.
