I wonder if it is even a compelling advertising point.  My various flat screen 
devices range from about 60 -125 mm thick, and I wouldn't pay to replace one 
with a 30 mm thick one (unless some other feature were compelling).

If they are on a stand, the stand is considerably deeper than the screen (or it 
would fall over), and the wall mounts are probably thicker than the advertised 
screen.  Now if the mass is reduced so you can hang it on a nail like a 
picture, maybe they are getting somewhere.

Subject: [USMA:47294] Give them an inch...

Given the fact that world allowed the US companies to ram inches down 
everyone's throats for diagonal screen measurements, now it will have to put up 
with more of the same nonsense.  As televisions are becoming thinner and 
thinner, worldwide players like Samsung are now advertising the thickness of 
their television sets in...inches.  I just saw an ad for a set that measures 
1.2".  You'd tink that this would be the natural place for millimeters or 
centimeters, but give them an inch...
