HP has revealed some of its display plans for this year's CES, and the biggest surprise isn't what the company is showing, but what it's not. Crave has a list of TVs to be displayed, and it conspicuously lacks HP's
award winning wobulating DLP HDTVs, which were being shown as recently as
last year. According to the posting, HP is no longer manufacturing the sets, and what is on
store shelves now is the last of them. While DLP might no longer have a future with HP, there's still a full slate of flat panel TVs planned for next week's event, highlighted by two 1080p
MediaSmart LCDs (the 42-inch SL4278N and 47-inch SL4778N) with WiFi-enabled Windows Media Connect for streaming media directly to the HDTV. For those not into any newfangled wireless streaming, the LC4276N and LC4776N bring the
1080p sans MediaSmart, along with three new 720p (
they still make those?) models in 32-, 37- and 42-inch sizes. Two plasma TVs of unspecified resolution and parentage (42-inch HP PL4272N and 50-inch HP PL5072N) will also make an appearance.
This could be the start of an interesting trend. We
thought we needed an Xbox 360 or other computer-based media extender to get HD programming from a Windows Media Center
PC to an HDTV. ED Digital gave us a big "boo on you" today with the announcement of integrated Windows Media
connect functionality
