I poked around a few websites looking at Samsung models. Most give specs in Customary and metric. While the Cutomary is given as 1.2", the metric is given as 29.9 mm. Assuming it actually is, that converts to a bit less than 1.2", so 1.2" is a rounded value, and they actually have a "nicer" metric claim that they could use. I would expect them to emphasize "less than 30 mm" in metric countries.
(I still wouldn't pay a lot extra or settle for lesser performance on other criteria to have the thinness.) ________________________________ From: Remek Kocz <[email protected]> To: U.S. Metric Association <[email protected]> Cc: U.S. Metric Association <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, May 1, 2010 10:49:50 PM 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...
