LG Electronics to launch TV sets with Netflix Movie Viewing
By: Peter Chubb | January 5, 2009
LG Electronics and Netflix have announced that LG will be launching a new range of TV sets that will feature Netflix movie viewing direct from the Internet, which means that you will not need a set top box. It seems that more devices are now going this way, like the Xbox 360.
It was only last year when LG launched external boxes to allow you to download Netflix movies, but having this system built-in to a TV is a much better idea. This means less clutter and less wires, that should keep the wife happy then.
The new HD TV’s from LG will be on show at CES 2009, which is in Las Vegas this week. 2009 looks all set to be a great year for Netflix, as they are working on partnerships with other consumer electronics makers, so expect to see more TV brands with the same kind of technology.

He,
You mean this TV will show all the programs and movies by directly receiving from internet? Will it just allow the movies to be seen from Internet or we can browse sites as well?
Thanks
