I've seen that on a big (and I think expensive) Samsung TV at a friend's parent's house. Weirdly enough the TV came with an external HDMI source switcher box. Really weird design choice on Samsung's part.

    I have one of those, I get the feeling they did it mostly so they could show off how thin they can make a TV. Actually makes good sense for another reason IMO: modularity. Power supply and control stuff is separated from the panel, so it's easy to swap it out if the power supply or something else dies.
