Samsung HDTVs Sport Integrated Ethernet Port

Samsung, the U.S. market leader in HDTV (units sold and dollar revenue, per market research firm NPD), is joining the connected TV crowd. The company's new high-end flat-screen TVs--its Series 6 and 7 LCDs, and the Series 7 plasma sets shown here (due in April in 50-, 58- and 63-inch versions)--support a new InfoLink RSS service that will bring USA Today news, weather, sports and stock quotes to sets hooked up to the Internet via their integrated ethernet port. You don't even have to stop watching TV--simply tap a button on your remote and the text will display over the image. The following sides contain more highlights from Samsung's 2008 CES lineup. We do not yet have pricing. -- Yardena Arar
