JVC has ‘pre-announced’ a strikingly thin LCD panel that is such a lightweight at 5kg that its ideal for ceiling mountings or less substantial wall fixings. The 32mm thin display will be shown in a private booth at CES 2009 in Las Vegas in three days and released before the end of the year.
The panel incorporates a new optical system into the modular structure of JVC’s existing 7mm-thick 32-inch LCD display and it is this technology that makes the new display the lightest in the world (or so it is claimed). The new system brings with it high colour gamut and high contrast along with low energy consumption and environmental impact thanks to the lower mercury requirement of the new LED backlighting.
The lightness of this device allows it to be mounted in places never before considered for a large panel such mounting directly onto shop windows. Expect even lighter displays to emerge at CES and over the coming year.

That looks really awesome. A hanging TV looks more good than wall mount.
