Yup, <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/05/lg-to-release-first-hdtvs-that-instantly-stream-movies-from-netf/">it's official</a>. LG will be showcasing the world's first Netflix-enabled HDTVs at CES this week. The so-called Broadband HDTVs will arrive in plasma and LCD flavors, though exact screen sizes and model names have yet to be disclosed. They'll arrive with <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/Netflix/">Netflix</a> streaming software baked right in, meaning that no external set-top-box will be required to suck down Watch Instantly material. Best of all, it sounds like HD Netflix content will also be supported, and with the accompanying remote, viewers will be able to "read synopses, rate movies and fast-forward / rewind the video stream." No word on pricing, but the family of sets should be shipping this Spring. Hop on past the break for a look at the full release.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/lg-gets-official-with-netflix-enabled-broadband-hdtvs/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>LG gets official with Netflix-enabled Broadband HDTVs</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/displays/" rel="tag">Displays</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/hdtv/" rel="tag">HDTV</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/homeentertainment/" rel="tag">Home Entertainment</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/lg-gets-official-with-netflix-enabled-broadband-hdtvs/">LG gets official with Netflix-enabled Broadband HDTVs</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:01:00 EST.
