LG + NetFlix = Broadband HDTV Goodness!

LG has tied up with NetFlix to provide the first range of braodband HDTVs with built-in support for NetFlix. Along with their new line of Blu-Ray players named the LG BD300 Network Blu-ray Disc Player, the first Blu-ray disc player to stream movies instantly from Netflix, these products will allow the existing Netflix users to watch media from the huge library of movies and TV episodes on Netflix. People having anyone of the above mentioned devices can watch unlimited content for as little as $8.99 per month.

There have been no mentions as to the exact way the TVs will function or whether they will support wireless or not. Although, the good part here is that you can view synopses and even give rating to the movies after watching from your remote itself. When you have chosen the movie you want to see, it will start playing within 30 seconds. You can also rewind and forward the videos while watching.
