LG has apparently been keeping busy as the company announced the world's thinnest 42 and 47-inch LCD TV panels.

Instead of the commonly used CCFL, LG opted on LED backlight system which coupled with LG's proprietary LGS (Light Guide Sheet) technology resulted in panels only 5.9mm thick.

The 42 and 47-inch LCD TV panels weigh 6.1kg and 7.3kg respectively, which is quite impressive, and feature a 120Hz refresh rate. The MPRT is 8ms and, of course, both panels have a resolution of 1920x1080.
