The LG 50PC1DR reviewed at Consumer Reports
Got an extra $4000 lying around along with a hankering to get a new PVR / DVR? If so, LG has something just for you. The new LG 50PC1DR is a 50 inch high-definition plasma TV that comes with a built in 160 GB hard drive for recording shows, pausing TV and doing the rest of the things that PVRs / DVRs do so well. Consumer Reports has a nice 1 page write up on the model over at their website.
There are a few nice things about getting a TV with a built in PVR / DVR: you are not tied to a specific service provider, you don’t have to deal with monthly rental fees and setup can be as quick as just turning the TV on. With these high-def plasma TVs becoming more popular, it seems like a natural evolution to start incorporating PVR & DVR devices into them. Once they hit the market’s ‘sweet spot’ we’ll likely see a huge change in the way TV is watched in general.
