Flat TVs - which have internal power supply?

RumRat

Just stick it to the wall with sticky Velcro. it will even stick to the back of the TV or the bracket, with Velcro.
As for not knowing that it has an external PSU, no excuse since the advent of Google...;)

I think there are Samsung and LG models that have internal supplies but not all. They are a bit pricey too than the typical flat screens out there.

Im looking at just a handful of 43” models, the slimmer the better. As mentioned in my initial post, it will conceal a readymade power socket. That power brick is going to look pretty daft velcro’ed to an otherwise empty wall with cables coming out from and then returning behind the TV!

Google itself doesn’t help directly as this seems a rarely discussed point. I’ve found the only ways to be sure is watch unboxing videos in the hope they show this detail, or even better find the models ‘Setup’ PDF which (finally) shows both the power brick and a rear view of the TV with an ‘AC in’ socket.

Weird that both retailers and manufacturers can rabbit on for paragraphs about the amazing 4K processing (for nonexistent 4K TV channels) while not mentioning the existence of an external power brick - not even under ‘what’s in the box’.

So you are trying to get the whole thing as flat to the wall as possible? Apologies, thought you would put it on a bracket which would leave enough room behind the TV.
Which models are you looking at?
It looks like Google did help....:)

The trend seems to move the power supply outside the TV now because they've become so slim, its the only way to do it.

It's not just the power supply, it is the entire internals of the TV so all the boards that would normally be in the TV are contained in these external bricks leaving just the display panel. All the HDMI ports will be in these bricks with a single cable to connect to the display.

I’d be interested to know which 40” + LGs model numbers are 4cm thick. The minimum LG I’ve seen recently is over 7cm.

My LG OLED55B7V is 48mm thick.

Do you mean 4.8mm? I think near 5cm is a bit chunky
