A few years ago they were really slim and puny now they look like they have put on a bit of weight.

I can't remember the model number but a few years ago samsung had one tv that was super slim about 10-12mm thick.

Retailers were getting lots of customer returns on those super-slim Samsung edge LED TVs due to uneven backlight, so the Korean manufacturer had to do something.

They increased the chassis depth, and relocated the heat-generating components on the panel into as small a surface area as possible. And it worked - since last year, Samsung's midrange and high-end LED TVs consistently have better uniformity than the competition.
