Samsung has upped the ante a whole two days before CES even starts; Samsung's super slim model is going to be potentially 3 times thinner than anything out there or even rumored about. Few more details were immediately available; it is between 6.5mm and 7mm across its width and has an LED (light emitting diode) backlight. The backlight sits behind the LCD panel and generates the light that shines through it to allow the image to be seen. Most LCD panels use thicker backlights that make use of fluorescent lights but LEDs are fast finding favor with TV makers for their thinness and better overall light.
