LG announces “world’s thinnest” 42-inch LCD panel. Again.

LG has set a new record for thin LCD televisions, with a new 42-inch LCD panel with LED backlights and optical film that’s an impressive 2.6mm thick.

The 42-inch panel weighs less than 4 kilograms – making it ideal for wall mounted TVs. Moreover, the new product offers 120Hz refresh rate technology with full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution for clear and sharp image.

Not many details right now, but it’s to be on display at CES in Vegas.
