HP SL4282N, SL4782N connected HDTVs
*www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/01/mediasmart-hdtv-mce.jpg
Finally we're seeing some real devices leverage Microsoft's Extenders for Windows Media Center platform, and HP's first on the scene of the "new" platform with embedded hardware in its two new HDTVs, the 42-inch SL4282N, and 47-inch SL4782N.
- Native 1080p panel (with HP's Visual Fidelity Engine)
- 500cd/m² brightness, 2000:1 contrast ratio, 176° viewing angle, 6ms response, 3:2 pulldown
- (3) HDMI, (2) component, (2) composite / S-Video, (1) VGA
- Integrated 802.11a/b/g/n, Ethernet
- Front speakers now NXT
- Functions as a MCE, playing back DivX, XviD, H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV (also has HP's media interface)
- Built-in ATSC and clear-QAM tuners
But wait, there's more: current MediaSmart HDTV owners will receive a software update that adds the latest Media Center Extender software, giving them access to these new updates and codecs. Of course, now you can forego the buying of the integrated, connected TV if you just want to snag a MediaSmart Receiver (or a 360).

HP's new MediaSmart Receiver - Media Center Extender (and more)
*www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/01/mediasmart_digital_media_receiver-top.jpg
The MediaSmart Receiver does the usual MCE business (actually, it's an Extender for Windows Media Center, meaning it can do DivX and XviD), in addition to playing H.264, MPEG-2, AAC, having built-in 802.11a/b/g/n, a Pocket Media Drive bay, and all the outputs you'll need to get the thing up and running (component, HDMI with HDCP). And, of course, it'll stream you media via DLNA / UPnP servers, play it off the drive or USB ports, as well as switching modes o HP's own media interface, just in case you're not into the Extender experience (or don't rely on an XP or Vista box to deal with your media). No pricing and release intel yet, but it'll be at CES, no doubt.

HP's got your low-end NAS needs covered if you're not ready to step up to the Windows Home Server just yet.
