News Hewlett-Packard eyeing TV market

From C|Net:

LAS VEGAS--Dell and Gateway have begun to sell televisions, and Hewlett-Packard is looking at doing the same.

The Palo Alto, Calif.-based computing giant is scrutinizing the market for liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions, plasma televisions and projection screen televisions, Jim McDonnell, vice president of marketing and sales for HP's Personal Systems Group, said in an interview at Comdex on Monday.

"For us, it is a market that is exciting," McDonnell said.

The move into fancy televisions is possible largely because HP currently sells products featuring the same basic underlying technology. LCD televisions are quite similar to LCD monitors, James Chu, CEO of ViewSonic, said in a separate interview. The video circuitry is a little different, and LCD TVs are generally more rectangular than monitors, but those are the main differences.
