Netflix streaming hits VIZIO Connected HDTV [UPDATED]
VIZIO is launching a new platform that they’re calling “Conneced HDTV,” and with it comes confirmation of the second Netflix direct-to-TV partnership. VIZIO’s Connected HDTV platform is designed to compliment traditional television viewing. You just connect the television to your home network, and if there’s nothing good on, you can go into Netflix, and I am sure there will be other services (YouTube? Hulu?) that you’ll be able to pull up as well. This is a trend we are definitely liking, let’s eliminate set-top boxes while providing more viewing options for the consumer.
EDIT: Okay, we just got more details on this. Aside from Netflix, the VIZIO Connected HDTV platform also brings Amazon Video on Demand, Pandora, Flickr, Blockbuster OnDemand, Rhapsody, Adobe Flash content, games from Accedo Broadband, and the Yahoo! widget engine. Very, very interesting!

I can’t wait to see how this works. Been wanting to upgrade to a Vizio for awhile, now I just gotta wait for this.

Hey guys, if you want to watch movies online, I would check out MoviesEgg.com. They offer all the latest films for free, you just need to complete a survey. Pretty cool, eh? Heh.

This is really a great HDTV from Vizio. I especially love its built-in WiFi feature, so I can get it connected to the internet wirelessly via a wireless router at home. And speaking of wireless routers, if you’re looking for a good one, I recommend you check out the Netgear Wireless Router for Video and Gaming. You can use this device to connect computers, gaming consoles, notebooks, or wireless printers, and also your networked home theater devices. You can also use this to stream video and music from a USB drive to media players and DLNA TV’s, even without using a computer. Now that’s one powerful wireless router for you.
