LG HDTV 1080p Netflix-Streaming TV’s Debut in U.S.

lg 1080p hdtv with netflixThe LG LH series of HDTV’s are nearly paper-thin (see photo) HDTVs that are completely wireless: they come with an ASW1000 Media Box, which has three HDMI jacks, a pair of component inputs, antenna in, and VGA, all of which it can send wirelessly to your HDTV from up to 10 meters (32.8 feet) away at 60GHz. Due to the fact that it’s operating at


such a high frequency in the radio spectrum, the set has to be within visible range (known as “line of sight”) of the transmitter (the Media Box), though I don’t imagine that’d be too difficult to work with. Also, as a nice added bonus, LG has teamed up with

Netflix to offer streaming straight to your LG HDTV: so you can order, download to, and then immediately watch any movie on Netflix straight from your TV. Brilliant!

If you’re looking to buy one, the models that are now available in the United States are the 47-inch 47LH50 LCD HDTV and the 50-inch 50PS80 plasma, and LG says that the 42-inch 42LH50 LCD and 60-inch 60PS80 plasma should be available later this summer. Right now, both the 47LH50 and 50PS80 are $1,999.
