Gonna be buying a new one, I guess

According to an al-Reuters report, "JVC on Sunday unveiled an LCD TV less than 3 inches thick, calling it the world's thinnest flat-screen television."
"JVC, formally called Victor Co of Japan Ltd, said it would unveil four new LCD models that each sport a built-in dock for the iPod, Apple Inc's market leading portable digital media players."

Rico says there goes his Apple stock, upward. Also, knowing that it's the "Japan Victor Company" is interesting for a history junkie.

But the Sharp announcement is even better: "Japanese electronics maker Sharp Corp will begin selling a 108-inch LCD television later this year, executives told the Consumer Electronics Show on Sunday. Executives also said at a news conference that Sharp had developed a prototype 65-inch liquid crystal display TV that was just over 1 inch thick and weighed 23 percent less than previous models."

Rico says he guesses he'll be buying another television soon, though the change to all HD-programming would have made that a requirement in any case.
