One Step Closer: LG Ships LCD HDTVs with Netflix Built-In
LG has two new HDTV units that feature Netflix steaming capabilities. The units are the 47 inch LG 47LH50
LG Electronics said Thursday it has started shipping a pair of flat-panel TVs that are among the first with built-in capability to stream movies from the Netflix online service.
The 47-inch 47LH50 ($2,100 suggested retail) LCD TV and 50-inch plasma 50PS80 ($2,100), which were introduced at International CES, are FullHD 1080p models incorporating Netflix instant-streaming software. The software enables access to the Internet-based movie-rental content without the need of external devices, other than an in-home broadband network.
Two additional models with the feature — a 42-inch 42LH50 LCD TV ($1,700)and 60-inch 60PS80 plasma set ($3,200) — are slated to ship this summer, LG said.
The models include what LG calls NetCast Entertainment Access.
Now all we need is better broadband and access to all services, and we’re set for VOD take over. Thanks to Twice.
