The streaming Netflix capable HDTVs were first announced at CES ’09. The TVs provide immediate access to the Netflix library for as low as $8.99 a month. Netflix subscribers also get access to the entire Blu-ray Disc library.
At the same time, LG is offering two Blu-ray home-theater systems that are also ready to stream instantly. The LG LHB953 and LG LHB977 feature Netflix instant streaming as well as Pandora Internet Radio and BD-Live.
