Reports: 'World's thinnest' LCD HDTVs to ship in July
According to reports by FarEastGizmos and Engadget, JVC’s pair of “world’s thinnest” LCD HDTVs — you know, the ones announced at CES — are due to hit stores in July.
As a quick refresher, the 42-inch LT-42SL89 and 46-inch LT-46SL89 are both proud members of the outfit’s Procision series and whose cabinet “across most of its width measures a mere 1.5-inches, with a maximum depth of just 2.9-inches at the panel’s center.” Each set also includes a built-in TV tuner, three HDMI inputs, two component jacks and one S-Video/VGA port; also included is a USB picture viewer, illuminated remote and touch-sensitive buttons on the front panel.
The svelte HDTVs will hit retail stores next month for $1,899.99 and $2,399.99, respectively.
