LG has announced that it will start marketing new LCD and Plasma TV’s with streaming Netflix videos built in. This means you would not need an external device to use Netflix online. This comes as an extension of the agreement they have with each other since a few years ago.
“LG Electronics was first to embrace Netflix as a streaming partner a year ago, and was first in 2008 to introduce a Blu-ray disc player that streams movies from Netflix,” said Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO. “So it’s fitting that LG is the first to introduce Netflix instant streaming directly to the TV with these next-generation HDTVs.”
Netflix enabled set will be available in the Spring of 09′. Netflix will also have the service available in about 6-8 Blue-ray disc players and several other devices as well in 2009. The new LG devices will be unveiled at CES on Thursday.
