Sony unveils the world’s thinnest LCD TV; the 40-inch KDL-40ZX1

Sony KDL-40ZX1 LCD TV

We just have to trust Sony when it says that its new KDL-40ZX1 LCD TV is the world’s thinnest so far. Measuring a mere 9.9mm, this 40-inch LCD beauty weighs 12.2kg. Makes you wonder where it puts all that weight considering that it is so thin?

Anyway, the KDL-40ZX1 is said to feature wireless video reception which Sony has dubbed the Bravia 1080 Wireless. In addition, this LCD panel also features a 3000:1 contrast ratio, a full 1080p HD resolution, three HDMI ports, both a digital and analog tuner, as well as LAN and USB ports.

However perhaps the most exciting feature of the KDL-40ZX1 is its “Flow Motion 120 HZ” which displays video and still photos in either 60 fps or 24fps. Aside from this, it also features video blur correction technology.

The Sony KDL-40ZX1 LCD HDTV will be out in Japan on November 10 with an is expected to retail for around $4,500. No word yet on when, or if it will be released internationally.
