IFA 2008: Philips gets in on the thin scene with its 42" Essence LCD – only 38mm thick
This year’s “thing” at IFA 2008 is definitely thin TVs. Everyone’s at it. Spec sheets now list LCD thickness in millimetres, as companies fight – like children over a dropped sweet – to see who’s got the thinnest TV.
