HP ships bevy of 720 / 1080p LCDs, MediaSmart TV to follow suit
We know January is but a distant memory in most minds, and if you can't recall HP's fairly stacked 2007 lineup of LCD HDTVs introduced during that time, you'll be getting a refresher course soon enough. Reportedly, the firm is now shipping a plethora of 720p sets including the 32-inch LC3272N ($899) and 37-inch LC3772N ($1,199) LCD HDTVs, which are launching alongside the 42-inch PL4272N ($1,399) and 50-inch PL5072N ($2,099) plasmas. More notable, however, is the shipment of HP's first 1080p displays, which consist of the 42-inch LC4276N ($1,899) and 47-inch LC4776N ($2,499). These sets will also include a trio of HDMI ports, PC inputs, concealed speakers, and "RS232C with WSD bridging capabilities for custom integrators." Furthermore, HP also announced that it hasn't forgotten about the forthcoming MediaSmart TV either, as those will be following suit "sometime this summer."[Via Hidefster]
HP leaves DLP out of 2007 CES lineup
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.
