I know there are lots of other "worlds smallest" things that are bigger, but am I the only on who found it cute/strange that the world's version of a piece of consumer electronics measures up to a size bigger than my arm? Or 0.0881657447 Double Decker Buses (5.8lg) to be precise.

it's hardly the words smallest. I remember seeing a Hitachi 32PD5200 in curries years ago (2004ish I think) which was a 32" HD ready plasma TV. 1024x1024 res, DVI (with HDCP) and component connectivity.
not the greatest specs in the world I grant you, but it's the same screen size, it's a plasma and it's 3 years older. I'm not saying that the LG screen isn't alright, but it's hardly the worlds smallest.

A quick search reveals some sites are quoting a resolution of 852x480 which isn't even SD PAL. There aren't many 1080 LCDs in that size but almost all claiming to be HD are 768p.

Hitachi had the 32PD3000 available since around 2003. I've had one in the bedroom for a couple of years.
