On Monday, for example, the Korean television maker LG Electronics plans to announce a new line of high-definition televisions that connect directly to the Internet with no set-top box required. The televisions will be able to play movies and television shows from online video-on-demand services, including Netflix. |
Now that's interesting. I'm actually surprised we haven't seen something like this sooner. With so many people using the internet for so many things It seems like a natural move from a computer screen to a TV screen.
I've got an Uncle who uses a Wii constantly for just the web browser. (Much to his kids annoyance) I've also got an Aunt who bought one of Netflix's Roku boxes for their instant streaming.
