Google Chrome OS unveiled, released to open source community

When we examined the recently-announced LG LH95 LCD HDTV at the Consumer Electronics Show, we could tell there wouldn't be much to say about it besides its specs. It had no revolutionary new features that would change the way you watch television, but as far as normalcy goes, this was one of the finer TVs we've seen at the show this week. If you want the most extreme quality (and, we imagine, aren't concerned about the price) this should be one to consider. At only 0.98 inches, it's extremely thin for a 55-inch LCD; this is accomplished thanks to LED backlighting technology.

The other draws are a 240 Hz refresh rate, 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, DivX video file playback over USB or Bluetooth, and wireless HD signals. We thought it looked great, but not groundbreaking. Newer technologies like Samsung's edge-lit LED Luxia models were more impressive, but as far as LCDs go the LH95 is near the top of the heap. There's no pricing or release information yet, though. You'll probably have to wait at least a few months to upgrade your viewing experience with this thing, and we're absolutely sure it won't be cheap. We took a side-view snapshot, and you can click below to take a look at the thinness. Enjoy!
