    Monday, July 19 @ 12:15:00 PDT

    With CRT televisions ever die? Not with innovations like the Samsung 'Vixlim' which is touted by Samsung as the world's slimmest CRT television.

    " The new CRT display, dubbed 'Vixlim' for 32-inch (81-centimeter) digital TVs, is only 35 centimeters thick, nearly halving the 50 to 60 centimeters seen on traditional CRTs.

    "The new product is as slim as LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs but better quality, making itself a good fit for digital TV," the company said. "

    Samsung plans to start product in early 2005 and hopes to make these new televisions available at the end of the year. Samsung seems to think that CRT televisions could be making a come back as the CRT technology evolves.

    Samsung SDI develops world's slimmest CRT digital TV display

    Mon Jul 19, 4:18 AM ET Add Technology - AFP to My Yahoo!

    SEOUL (AFP) - Samsung SDI, South Korea (news - web sites)'s largest display screen maker, said it had developed the world's slimmest cathode-ray tube (CRT) display for digital televisions.

    The new CRT display, dubbed 'Vixlim' for 32-inch (81-centimeter) digital TVs, is only 35 centimeters thick, nearly halving the 50 to 60 centimeters seen on traditional CRTs.

    "The new product is as slim as LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs but better quality, making itself a good fit for digital TV," the company said.

    The company will start mass production early next year, with a plan to introduce the technology on all present large-sized CRT products by end-2005.

    Samsung SDI has also actively expanded its business to making LCDs, now widely used for mobile phone and computer screen monitors, and PDPs (plasma display panels), flat screens for thin TVs.

    In recent years, traditionally thick CRT displays have given way to slim LCDs or PDPs in the fast-growing digital television screen markets.

    Samsung SDI said, however, that it expects to see a new "boom period" for CRT displays with the development of the new product, which will be thinner and much cheaper than LCDs or PDPs.

    It said the new CRT product could lower the prices of digital television by nearly one third.

      Not meaning to throw any stones - but 35 cm is very big compared to an LCD display. The new philips generation LCD screens are 9 cm - so 1/3 of that..
      Also 32 inch is becomming quite small theese days, so I am not so exicted..

      In terms of technology I am guessing it is a variant of the short neck monitors that the computer industry created some years ago, but look where crt sales are now..
      They had space as the main selling point, but fact was that they were visibly inferior to normal crt screens.

        I think they may be referring to LCD based RPTV's....? Just a guess.
