According to reports today, Hitachi’s range of ultra-thin LCD TVs are headed for a UK release. Comet has let slip that the UT32MH70 32-inch 1080p model will go on sale here soon, starting at £1,299. Although there’s been no word on the 37-inch and 42-inch displays in the UT range, all models are about a third of the width of other LCD screens, at 1.5 inches, and feature Hitachi’s External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp (EEFL), flexible colour accuracy and a longer lifespan, while the two larger screens include Hitachi’s Anti-Judder technique.

Live At Montreux is set to feature 13 storming live tracks with hits such as Freak On A Leash and Make Me Bad to make an appearance. Rocking out on 1 July, this Blu-ray release showcases the growing popularity of music features entering this format.
