    1mmplasma
    Samsung just unleashed a few TVs that are only an inch thick, and back at CES we saw a prototype from Panasonic that was a third of an inch. But this display, a thin-film plasma from Shinoda, is all of one millimeter thick.

    It’s actually a composite display made from six smaller ones, and it’s super heavy, but the flexibility and abnormal thinness of the thing makes it sweet despite all that. No clue when you’ll actually be able to put one of these things in your living room — honestly you’re better off just getting a comparatively chubby Samsung.
