Sony shows off 10mm thick LCD TV - Sony KDL-40ZX1

Sony showed off its 40-inch ZX1 Bravia LCD this week. The TV screen is only 9.9mm thanks to a clever bit of engineering that places the LED backlights around the screen edge, rather than behind it.

The ZX1 is due to be released some time next year.
