Boxee HDTV from Viewsonic! – Internet TV with Wifi Built-In – CES 2011 – Tekzilla
Saturday, January 21st, 2012Get a Boxee Box BUILT-IN to your TV with Viewsonic’s new 46″ LED HDTV, just announced at CES 2011 Digital Experience. Stream music, movies and internet television (like Revision3!) straight to your screen without an additional box to set up. Set it up by wifi or ethernet. Cut your cable and save money! One of the best known and most popular over the top applications became a set top box this holiday season. But the upstart software company isn’t stopping there. This week at CES 2011 they announced a partnership with an HDTV vendor to embed the Boxee software into a TV! Why is this a big deal? Because even though the $200 Boxee box delivers a great experience, in the end consumers want to cut down on their set top boxes, not add new ones in. And by building it into the TV, it helps these manufacturers differentiate their flat screens from the competition. The surprising news at CES, though, was that Boxee was teaming up with Viewsonic, a decidedly third tier TV vendor. But it’s a start. I fully expect Boxee to be bundled into other TVs over the next year. Check out our video of the Boxee box for all the details of this groundbreaking announcement.
