'World's Thinnest' TVs Debut at CES

LG and Samsung unveiled new 55" flatscreens using OLED technology at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas measuring just four millimeters in thickness. But as AP's Haven Daley reports, the new ultra-thin flatscreens won't be cheap. (Jan. 9)

isnt it ironic that the TV's are getting thinner, yet those who watch them are getting fatter.

Apparently you're wrong, else they wouldn't have made it if people didn't want it. Sorry, try again.

And the people don't want a TV that's going to blow over with the window open and the ceiling fan and then 'splode. Especially one that costs $5000.

You're comparing apples to oranges. We're not talking about cell phones. We're talking about television sets in your house. Durability wouldn't be a factor in televisions because you shouldn't be trying to carry around your television in your pocket.

And you missed my point: Manufactures are not going to make a product simply because a few people want a certain feature. They will make the product IF the masses demand it -- not the individual.

You get it now?

What about those magic yellow dots that printers put on your printouts so that they can be tracked forensically? you know the ones that print yellow with YOUR ink cartridge? Now that's whack. I still have SD tvs at my house. Some people think I'm poor or a douche or whatnot but I knew with little research that better TVs were on the horizon than those LED pieces of crap. lamps burn out in a few years and they cost almost as much at the TV, FAIL.Seen it happen 3 times to friends

Of course but then one day someone says hey I am going to make a smartphone and then a revolution is born. Sometimes an individual defines an era. Not only are smartphones useful they are also extremely durable. Just ask my old lady, she dropped her Galaxy Nexus within 1 hour of purchase. I can't keep track of how my times it has since bounced off the pavement. It still works (got insurance just in case). My point is that, at some point, form must not supersede function.
