One of the TVs in the mix is a 37-inch LCD TV with built-in wireless networking that HP announced at CES in January. HP has been selling flat-panel televisions for two years, as part of the PC industry's attempt to push into consumer electronics. Until now, HP's televisions have been available only through its Web site or regional retail stores, Blakborn said."</i><br /><br />I've seen HP TVs at trade shows, and they seem to be decent, but I'm not sure how their pricing is in relation to other brands such as Samsung and Toshiba. Anyone own an HP TV?

Less here than meets the eye; I think the LCDs are made by Sharp and the Plasmas by Panasonic. Not significantly different in features or price.

The really interesting HP HDTVs are the rear projectors and Best Buy isn't adding those.
