LCD stands should not be included in the measure

LCD is indeed much slimmer especially for those who consider mounting the device on the wall. The profile shown in the picture includes the TV stand in the measure, which may not make a fair comparison.

LCD depth

Your are not being fair to the LCD screen industry, as you are including the stand. Most, if not all LCD screens can remove the stand and the LCD can be hung on the wall.

Did any of you read the article?

You CAN remove the foot, but most consumers DON'T.

Considering the foot dimension is perfectly legitimate. If a consumer can't look at that picture and determine the LCD screen itself is much slimmer than 12 inches, they aren't intelligent enough to own an electronic device anyway.

This is a follow up story that refers to the same picture. The earlier comments were based on a story that did not mention the stat of how many people used the stand.
