LG's LH9500 is just 24.8mm thick

The LH9500 LCD, which has been spotted by several online sources, is a meagre 24.8mm thick, yet still boasts 1080p and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Its 240Hz TrueMotion Drive Technology is also 40Hz faster than the frame rate available on Sony’s Z4500 [1] TV.

Although LG hasn’t released the set’s full specifications yet, we do know that DivX HD support is integrated into the set.

It also features a pair of "invisible" speakers that are claimed to provide stunning sound without adding unnecessary bulk to the body.

Although a price hasn’t been released, don’t expect the screen to be cheap. LG’s expected to officially unveil the LH9500 this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. ®
