Samsung’s 40-inch LCD is world’s thinnest at 3.9-mm, attracts magic pencils

What measures 3.9-mm thin by 40 inches? If you answered the standard Korean product waif you’d be close. This time, however, we’re talking about Samsung’s LED backlit LCD featuring a 120Hz refresh and 5,000:1 reported contrast. Yup, that makes it the world’s thinnest — easily besting cross-town rival LG’s 5.9-mm thick LCDs — even if you can’t buy it as a complete television package… yet.

AT&T sues LG, Samsung, others alleging LCD price-fixing ‘conspiracy’

A cellphone without an LCD isn’t much of a cellphone. Alright, yes, there are exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking, LCDs still rule the industry which makes it a ripe target for nefarious price-fixing schemes to take root — something that LG and Sharp are well-acquainted with coming off a stinging half-billion dollar verdict last year. All the talk of artificially inflated display pricing recently must’ve spooked AT&T, because they’ve gone ahead and filed a lawsuit in San Francisco today alleging that LG, Samsung, Chunghua, AU Optronics, and others all conspired to boost component prices during a period in which the carrier bought some 300 million handsets. That’s a boatload of phones — several times AT&T’s total subscriber base — and we’re guessing the result could be a significant cash outlay if they’re successful with the suit. Does this mean free Mythics for everyone?

Just when you thought it was safe above 60-inches, Samsung’s showing off a new LCD at CEDIA with the best old-school CCFL tech has to offer. It may not have the sexy side profile of its edge lit-LED brethren or the cachet of certain plasmas but with the sheer size of the LN65B650, even shrouded by foliage in Samsung’s booth setup, we’re more than ready to catch a game on this baby.
