The two Korean chaebols are locked in a bitter competition to show off the world's sleekest LCD panel. It had been barely five months since LG announced its 5.9mm-thin 42-inch prototype, and now, Samsung is challenging the record with a 3mm equivalent (albeit in a smaller 40-inch screen size). While the latter is far from being a finished product, this is not stopping the company showcasing this LED-edgelit LCD panel at FPD International 2009 taking place in Yokohama from November 28 to 30. Hailed as the Needle Slim-series by Samsung, the screen is rated with a 5,000:1 contrast ratio and offers a 120Hz refresh rate according to Japanese tech blog Akihabara News. We're currently awaiting more information from Samsung and will update this Crave accordingly.
