We are all familiar with thin flat panel TVs but our perception of thin is about to change. In an industry that continually makes more by giving us less AUO has outdone themselves in the ultra department. I predict that the AUO 42-inch ultra slim LCD TV will draw a lot of attention from both buyers and other industry leaders.

How slim is ultra slim? Imagine the size of an ordinary marble (10mm). How bright is bright? Measured in Nits the 450 is far brighter than the ordinary 250 to 280 Nits found on most LCD TVs. Taking advantage of this increased brightness AUO uses a new technology called “High Dynamic Contrast”. This technology not only provides a contrast ratio of 200,000:1 but it also improves on luminance and uniformity (which simply means that the 16x8 Led blocks do not contrast differently from on the other.)

Decreased power consumption rounds out the impressive features of this ultra TV. Not only does the weight (44% lighter than most LCD TVs) reduce the need for heavy lifting but the energy costs are reduced as well by the white LED used by AUO (white LED produces more light and less heat than other forms of backlighting LCD displays).

If you are lucky enough to posses one of these beauties you have the option of hanging in on the wall or placing it in a stand. Either way it could not help looking ultra stylish.
