LG's LH50 LCD line, PS80 plasma lines both get broadband streaming

We're already well aware of LG's intent to add internet video streaming directly into its TV's. The LG50 LCD series does exactly that. The 47-inch 47LH50 and the 42-inch 42LH50 will both be able to stream Netflix, YouTube, Yahoo Widgets, and a plethora of other broadband content through Ethernet or possibly a third-party wireless hub.

Both models feature a 120 Hz refresh rate with dejudder processing, a room lighting sensor, extensive picture controls, picture wizard, and 4 HDMI inputs. Shipping in late spring, prices haven't been announced.

LG's PS80 plasma series will consist of the 50-inch 50PS80 and the 60-inch 60PS80 and both will also feature the same streaming capabilities of the LH50 series. In addition both sets can connect to a computer or USB drive to display photos and play music. The sets are also THX certified like Panasonic's G10 series which should improve color accuracy. The PS80 series has all the pictures control and picture wizard found on most of its 2009 models. Slated to hit stores in June, we're still waiting on prices.
