The first flat panel slim tv was invented in 1964 and it was a Plasma Display.
Flat Panel televisions have been around longer than most people think. But they have gotten better over the years.
When I first switched to an lcd television from my old crt television I hated the picture quality. But when I upgraded to a better quality lcd led television the picture was improved and I loved it more than my old crt.
I now love the slim panel televisions since I can have a bigger tv and hang it on the wall easily and leave more space for a tv cabinet below it and space to put other things on the tv stand instead of the tv.
