Sony KDL-40ZX1 - The World’s Thinnest LCD HDTV

Published by admin at 5:55 am under Sony KDL-40ZX1

The title of world’s thinnest LCD HDTV seems to have changed hands once again. After Hitachi held on to it for almost half a year, along came Sony and launched the incredibly thin KDL-40ZX1, whose panel is just 9 mm thick (while the device itself reaches just… 28.8 mm) but still capable of displaying high-quality images at full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution.

First and foremost, let’s see what the most important features of the LCD panel are. Beside providing a total viewing area of 88.6 x 49.8 cm and a diagonal size of 101.6 cm (40 inches), the panel has some pretty OK viewing angles as well, namely 178 degrees on both horizontal and vertical directions.

The contrast ratio is of 3000:1, and the device also comes equipped with a LED backlighting system and 120Hz MotionFlow technology, as well as BRAVIA Engine 2 image processing. And just in case you were wondering, yes, this thing works with just about any type of video signals, whether we’re talking about 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p or 480i.
