TV Tube Makers Fight LCDs with Thinner Tubes

LG.Philips has begun selling their previously announced slim-CRT TV, a 32-inch model with a roughly 14-inch tube. Currently available only in Korea, the TV goes for about $1,400, a hefty premium over even a high-end “flat tube” TV, but still much cheaper than a comparable plasma display. More - and thinner - models are expected later this year from both LG and Samsung. [Reuters]
