Sony unveils world’s slimmest 40-inch LCD TV

Sony Corp. said Thursday it will launch the world's thinnest and lightest 40-inch liquid crystal display television in November as part of the new fall and winter lineup of its popular Bravia series. The new ZX1 series has an ultraslim screen that is only 9.9 mm thick and weighs only 12.2 kg. The wireless-capable 40-inch model can also be hung on the wall, Sony said. No price has been fixed for the TV, which goes on sale in Japan on Nov. 10, and elsewhere around the world at about the same time, company officials said. Seven other new Bravia models have screen sizes ranging from 40 to 55 inches and will reach Japanese consumers as early as Oct. 10. Among the other features of the new lineup, the W1 series can better catch fast-moving images, and the XR1 series has an improved image quality with a contrast ratio of more than 1 million-to-1 that can clearly portray color differences.
