LG LH95 will be the world’s thinnest LED LCD TV, possibly sexiest as well
Yeah we’ll take seven, thanks. LG is all set to unveil its latest creation at CES next week and we have to say, it looks like a doozy. The LH95 is poised to be announced as the world’s slimmest LED-lit LCD television and slender it is. With a profile of just 24.8mm, the LH95 is liable to snap in half in a light breeze. No worries though, we’ll keep ours inside and away from the elements. Beyond the slender form, the LH95 is no slouch when it comes to specs – 240Hz TrueMotion Drive technology and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio fill out the package nicely. We’re still in the dark as far as pricing and availability are concerned but here are our educated guesses: 1H 2009, and too much.
2M:1? *cough* bullpoo *cough*
You’ve gotta be modulating the backlight level to claim something like that, which means you’ll never get 2M:1 in a single frame, plus you’ll see colors pump up and down in brightness as the content of the scene changes. Publish the real, same-frame stat, please, LG, because no-lamp-dimming is the mode I’d use it in.
This is definitely the sexiest HDTV I’ve seen thus far but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be a great performer. Hopefully it lives ups to it’s great stats. But contrast ratio doesn’t really mean much because it almost always the dynamic contrast ratio that is advertised by the manufacturer instead of the real or “native” contrast ratio. So on a set that claims a 2M:1 contrast ratio, my guess is that it is only 20,000:1 native contrast ratio at best.
The 240Hz does sound nice in theory, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be that great. When reading about the new Sony HDTV that is coming out with 240Hz, I found that 240Hz (on the Sony HDTV) wasn’t even that much of a step up from 120Hz. And for doubling the refresh rate, I’d expect better results than that.
I’m sure LG isn’t the only HDTV manufacturer that we will see have a 2M:1 contrast ratio or a 240Hz set though, so we will just have to wait for CES to see what the other manufacturers come up with too.

Completely. All of those contrast ratios aren’t actually valid — bullshit.
So is this a 42″? It would look nice on the wall. Like a giant version of one of those digital picture frames.
Contrast is not bullshit. It has modulating backlight unit. Backlight consist of group of leds . Single led can be individually turned down or up in intensity. This way not whole image intensity goes down if only some part of the image is more dark. It is not a perfect solution, but it is still the best available at the moment.
I love how technology keeps marching forward.
This TV makes my 3 year old Sammy look like a boat anchor. Man, that was fast!
That’s a sexy ass b**%$ right there
It’s pretty, to be sure.
But keep the kids away from it, hide the Wii, mount it higher than the dog can jump, etc etc.
That looks nice, but fragile.
No bull just read up on your OLED technology millions to 1 ratios with no sweat..
Bottom line-Is it really worth the extra dough?
looks sick
