Sorry to spoil it for the Russians, but South Africa has had it for months now.

[citation][nom]w4ffles[/nom]Boo, got me excited for a second. Wake me up when there's a bezel-less LCD HDTV.[/citation]
Isn't Samsung working on those?

I want a 50" 3840x2040 bezelless monitor (Samsung's doing the bezeless LCD's, and if I remember correctly, LG is working on the 3840x2040 resolution LCD's).
Then put 9 of them together (replacing a wall).
Then get as many ATI 5970's (or the next gen, or Nvidia 3xx) as you use a Lucid Hydra 200 (or 300 if it comes out) to link all the cards together for better scaling (as compared to SLI/CF, which don't go past 4 GPU's anyways).
Then play Crysis.

This TV only has 200Hz motion compensation? What a piece of garbage considering other brands have 240Hz motion compensation. A TV that can play film based content natively without 3:2 pulldown detection would be a lot better. It would cost about the same as a TV with 240Hz motion compensation and have a much better picture.

It's been available in Finland since October. Sizes from 37" to 47" are available immediately.

Zoom in on the picture. I see a border or at least a frame. sooo, not really borderless, just much less of a border with a frame. I'm sure its necessary but annoying and not truly borderless.

The only things borderless is the glass that cover the screen(screen with border), the greed of marketing people and their need to rip you off!

No thanks, I can get 42" LCD HDTV with xbox 360 elite and a game for $700 ($800 after tax etc). So no thanks. I don't need borderless.

Guys, it's NOT 200 GHz. In Russian language, most of the words beginning with letter "H" are written (and pronounced) with "G", so "hertz" is written as "Gerz" in Russian, and abbreviation is "Gz" (in Cyrillic alphabet).

And according to the press release (in Russian), it's not borderless. Third paragraph (next to the picture) says, "..the new LS SL8000 has a design where LCD panel is on the same level with all-around tiny frame".

Search around for LG SL8000, you'll be disappointed. It's not truly 'borderless'. There's a youtube video depicting that.
