The telly got its first European showing in Monaco last Thursday, having been initially unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January. Read on to find out why this one is going right to the top of your 'must-have' list.

Tell you what i'm going to do.Switch off MSN and move my ISP/search engine if you don't start taking control of these ridiculous posts which have absoloutly nothing to do with the subject matter.
Between that and continuous advertisements for absolute rubbish your role within Microsoft corporation has now become untenable. You are well able to filter all postings as you will with this one so please start doing your job as it was designed.Thank you

What is the point in such a tv when there isn't anything on worth watching?
24/05/2012 17:10
It is certainly a 'good-looking' television but at £7000's a 'bit' over my budget, by about £6800.
24/05/2012 20:55
Sounds great in principal but there is still nothing worth watching on it.
24/05/2012 15:55
I think its a great idea!
Everytime I order something from the internet it is often too large to fit through my letterbox! I mean this is also a little too wide to fit through my letterbox, but they could slide it under the garage door...

Roy t, couldn't agree more with you. Instead of giving them the thumbs down, report them as p' dos as many of their comments are aimed at young meeting old and visa versa. This will soon make MSN think about what they allow,and one day when a vulnerable person, not necessarily a child, is involved in a bad situation they can say that they were encouraged by MSN to contact these morons.

Iv been looking to buy a new tv for the last 5 years,yet everytime i look the new technology changes so i end up waiting.I just want a wireless tv i can put on the wall without wires and one which has a hd recorder built in without the need of buying a seperate recorder, and a fantastic sound system built in without buying extra speakers,i just cannot find one which does these simple tasks.

MSN. The spam and dumbing down centre of the Universe.
If you want your brain to turn to jelly then please read all the inane and asinine crap on the Msn website.

Looks like it can't be wall mounted - all connections are in the stand
24/05/2012 15:42
Wow! That's one thin TV.
24/05/2012 16:26
I have a 47" lg 3d led tv 2 months old and the sound has gone **** up not good

I suppose if one can afford a tv as super as this, one can also afford the best tv service provider and as such there is plenty of wonderful shows to watch, although for all the channels there are you would still think there'd be far more better shows to choose from. Channels like Discovery and National Geographic, Comedy Central, History, Bio, Fox, CBS and Sky which shares channels with other providers and many more channels have some really great shows but that 'XL' inclusive package is expensive at £49 a month!

The present finally catching up with later than the erliest science fiction; this beats the monitors on board a certain 1960's/70's "Star ship NCC Enterprise"? It looks so cool. People want everything in one these days, but is it all so reliable now? Are they not concerned that if the recorder breaks down they lose their tv too while it's away being repaired if replacment is no longer imdemnified? I can do without my DVD recorder / hard drive for a few days but the tv too? The more there is in it the more there is to go wrong! What should really get us all these days is how much money we throw away just because one tiny component costing pence has blown and we never get to know it as we just assume it costs too much in labour to repair. The more expensive the equipment, the more you are relying on that inbuilt reliability, unless you have a very unusual extended warranty which adds even more to the price tag.

More like whats the poing in haveing such a thin tv and the it having really deep pedestal.....which has all the connections on so you need it and cannot disgard to put the tv on a wall. Back to the drawing board LG

Next thing, if it hasn't already been perfected, is a film which can be applied to walls, vehicles, etc., which will transmit active visual effects. Imagine a car which changes colour/pattern or a form of 'invisibility' where the occluded scene is displayed on the object in the foreground (vehicles, etc). Mind you, security/military users may already be chasing the same effect!
And as for using it on car number plates......................................

No doubt a beautiful piece of engineering, price will be high until high levels or manufacturing can bring it down. But I have come to the point of opting out of keeping up with all this technology, I just don't have the money. Be it mobile phones, computer or TV's I am where I am at and will be staying there until the items I have stop working, then I will look for replacements.
It was fun at first keeping up with Betamax/VHS then disc based recorders also Pentium processors were all the rage in the computer field. PDA's became popular for a while, Palm anyone? But now mobiles and the new gadget of the age Pads, do all that and more. So I will still drool at the 'latest' thing, but that is as far as it will get. This TV will be superseded in time, hologram TV anyone?

maybe in another 10 years we'll have oled wallpaper. that would be truly awesome. thousands of options for your surroundings on a day to day change with an app and think of the gaming possibilities.

"boo hoo i want one"!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet this TV can increase a man's attractiveness to females by at least 300%. Nevermind a nice car, a date at the house and a nice movie will work. Beaufitul beautiful, did I say beautiful?
