CES 2010: Here come the internet TVs

Posted by Steve Safran on January 6, 2010

Toshiba's Web-Ready TV

We’re starting to see a theme around the introduction of new televisions at CES 2010. Many of the new TVs are web-ready. The Toshiba ZX 900 series, according to Engadget, has “…Net TV applications, which include Netflix, VUDU, CinemaNow and Pandora, and there’s 802.11n WiFi and 1TB of HDD for streaming and storage.” It also has a processor that can turn standard 2-D video into 3-D. Meantime, Vudu, the HD-On-Demand movie service, has announced it is partnering with six major TV manufacturers and two DVD manufacturers to have its service built right in.

This continues an important theme we’ve stressed over the years, and that is how crucial it is for locals to create original content. There needs to be a draw to what you’re creating. With so many ways of getting living room entertainment without you, you need to make a case for why your content is worthy of the audience’s time.

  • The Unknown Known

    I've got nearly 40 year old Trinitrons and ditto a 9″ Panasonic and '63 RCA Victor with tubes and thre CRT projectors I can convert. I'd rather fix a 4 channel Teac and make a small studio. That is actually cheaper.

    Between me and my husband we’ve had over 20,000 in debt and had to use a company to get out of it. We made sure it was legitimate through use of the BBB lookup.

    The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.
