"Thinner is better," says Hollywood -- and now the tech industry. And Sony claims to have made the thinnest LCD television yet.

Sony's 40-inch Bravia ZX1 measures a mere 9.9 millimeters at its thinnest point. And even more interestingly, the TV utilizes a wireless base station to broadcast its signal, sparing you the jungle of AV
cables plugged into it. The base station is compatible with older digital TV boxes, and it even includes a built-in tuner.

Pricing has not yet been announced, but you can expect it to be astronomical. Sony announced the Bravia ZX1 in Europe, and there's no word on an international release yet.
