How much more would you be willing to pay for a flat-screen TV with virtually unbreakable glass?

That's the question posed by an Associated Press report in early-August 2010 that says the scratch-proof, dent-proof, ultra-thin and lightweight "Gorilla Glass" may soon be available in flat-screen televisions. Gorilla Glass is already available in more than 100 different devices, including smartphones and notebook computers - but it may soon be coming to your living room television as well.

According to the AP report, Corning - Gorilla Glass's manufacturer - is ramping up production of its Gorilla Glass in anticipation of deals with TV manufacturers in coming months. Using Gorilla Glass in TVs could result in a frameless flat-screen that the AP says "could be mistaken for chic glass artwork on a living-room wall."

Gorilla Glass was first developed by Corning in the early-1960s, but it didn't gain popularity until around 2008 - when it surfaced as a lightweight, protective covering for cell phones and other mobile devices. Some analysts have said if Gorilla Glass is added to televisions, Corning could have a "multibillion-dollar bonanza" on its hands.

The addition of Gorilla Glass to TVs could be costly for consumers, adding between $30 and $60 to the price of a TV by some estimates.

  • i really, REALLY want some peanut butter now! :L

  • Between $30 and $60? If I'm paying $1800 for a TV I'd have no problem, what-so-ever paying an extra $60 to ensure that the fucker's hard to scratch or break. My cats knocked my Xmas tree into my 46" Samsung and scratched it.

    Give me Gorilla Glass TV's please.

  • between 30 and 60 dollars seems like a reasonable investment for absolute quality assurance.

  • Gorilla glass isn't "virtually unbreakable", many smart phones have their screens made out of Gorilla Glass, and we know those can break.

  • it is BOMB proof? or bullet proof?

  • No es tan resistente como lo muestra este video... comprobado
