Edge-lit LED backlighting has allowed LCDs to get thinner than ever, but at some point you run into physical limitation; you can’t make a TV thinner than the actual inputs. That is, unless you move the inputs somewhere else, which is precisely what Sony has done with its new KDL-XBR10 line of LCDs.

Key features of the Sony KDL-XBR10 series:
- 1,920×1,080 (1080p) native resolution
- Four HDMI inputs
