HP 47 inch MediaSmart 1080p LCD HDTV "Out of the box" digital media platform. Enjoy videos, pictures and music from home network + digital media delivered over your broadband Internet connection + 3 x HDMI

Popular Science’s Best of What’s New 07 feature review of the Pioneer Kuro does not hold back praise.
