Pencil thin TVSexy girls and sexy gadgets. What more could you ask for? Samsung have just unveiled a TV that's about as thick as a pencil. The 'Needle Slim' is a 40" LED backlit TV with a 3.9mm thick full HD display.

This futuristic TV is a prototype and isn't released yet. It features a 5000:1 contrast ratio and is a 120Hz LCD panel. At the time of writing this, Samsung claim this is the thinnest LCD panel on the planet. The race for the thinnest TV continues.

Samsung haven't put a price on this TV yet, but the LED sets I've been looking at this year are still out of most buyer's price ranges. As we go into 2010, lets hope some cheaper LED TVs are released. The idea of a TV this thin, and as easy to hang on your wall as a picture, is very appealing.
