Last night, LG showed off its fall consumer electronics and digital appliances line at the Morgan Library in Manhattan. Their big show stopper was the Network Blu-ray Disc Player, capable of playing Blu-ray movies, but also able to connect to Netflix's movie library for instant movie streaming.The concept and user interface is identical to the Roku Netflix box (minus the Blu-ray player) which we reviewed a few months ago. Pricing was not stated and availability was labeled "Fall 2008."
Pics after the jump.
The BD300 Network Blu-ray Disc Player is NetFlix Instant Streaming Ready.
The only other new product showcased was an HDTV with LED backlighting, which provided a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio.No pricing but said to be available in the Fall.
If you're into digital appliances, they showed off a kitchen oven that had a touch screen.We'll see if we can get one of those in test.
