LONDON: Electronic giant Sony has launched the world's thinnest television, which has a screen as slim as a CD case.

The ultra thin TV, called the Sony Bravia ZX1, will hit the market in the coming January. The extraordinary creation was unveiled at the NEC's Grand Designs show.

"It really has a beautiful look to it. It's hard to believe that something so slim can produce such crystal clear picture," The Telegraph quoted Craig Bolton, from West Bromwich, West Midlands, who visited the show, as saying.

"It's amazing and I would love to see it hanging on my bedroom wall," he added.

The exceptional product is priced at a whopping 3,500 pounds. Christian Brown, senior product manager at Bravia LCD, Sony UK, said, "There is nothing else like this. It was conceived as a unique product, a true step forward, something that the most discerning consumer would instantly recognise as exclusive and desirable. Once you have seen it, other televisions no longer look the same."

used to work for sony... I educated best buy and CCity about tv technology so that they could go out and tell people what's what.

sony doesn't know where they want to be... i am sure their engineers just got high and decided they are going to make something no one really needs so they came up with this instead of trying to push LCD technology forward or coming up with something new altogether

Yeah they announced this a while ago if it's the same model I saw earlier. Not sure I'm keen on the inputs being located in an external wireless box but, to me it just seems like a bit of a reliability concern with the amount of data you'd want to be passing over that wireless connection to the TV. I'm sure it's fine but.

Heres some more and better images:http://www.gizmag.com/sony-bravia-zx1--ult...r/9883/gallery/

Note the external box used for inputs

I'm currently considering the Z4500 as my next TV (as it's named in Australia) along with the samsung ones but. Can't dream of affording this and the 200Hz of the Z4500 could turn out to be handy to have. Have to wait and see what they are like on release anyway. They also have the new XBR's using LED displays I believe in a more conventional form factor.

Actually, that's not too far from the truth. You missed the part where Apple came over supplying them with the stuff and getting high beyond all imagination with them. :laugh:

well, it looks good for schools (when the price drops of course)

much better than changing projector bulbs and filters

<edit> I posted this in the completly wrong topic sorry, I was talking about the 82" LCD)

Dont most schools now have interactive Whiteboards? So it isnt that good for schools at all, considering a Touch-Screen Whiteboard does so much more :p

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By Nas · Posted

      The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
