All three options will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Shw (CES) next week, where LG will debut its 2009 products. LG's timing is exquisite, given that analysts said Tuesday that interest in connected devices is on the rise.

LG launched its Netflix-connected Blu-ray player, the LG BD300(shown left), in July. "Future LG Network Blu-ray Disc Players will also offer consumers a variety of ways to enjoy more than 12,000 choices of movies and TV episodes from Netflix," LG added.

"As millions of U.S. consumers view and download movies or TV shows through the Internet, they are demanding easier ways to access content and more home entertainment options," said Tim Alessi, director of product development for LG Electronics USA, said in a statement.

LG held its specific announcements close to the vest, noting only that the CinemaNow partnership would give consumers access to more than 14,000 titles from the major movie studios, broadcast and cable television shows, and more than 250 independent film titles and music videos from all major labels. The YouTube partnership, of course, offers access to everything from the evolution of dance and the inexplicably popular "Charlie bit me again" video.
