Hitachi going to show off their 1.5-inch thick plasma,.75-inch thick LCD prototypes at CES Las Vegas

Hitachi will demo a 1.5-inch thick plasma HDTV at CES. Cutting more than a third of the thickness from previous displays, it ensures your screen will look as incredible from the side as it does the front. Also on display, but without concrete plans for release, are the “super” Ultra Thin LCD that’s just .75-inches thick, a search technology for visual images, TV video sharing over the internet without a PC, a wireless video gateway and a prototype IPTV interface. Let’s see how other LCD manufacture can beat Hitachi.
