Cool......if youtube had HD content. Otherwise it would be a pixelated mess on those size screens. The other specs are nice though.

Sounds to me like they just did it for the marketing, other than the nice contrast ratio its basically a really expensive computer monitor.

interesting, still a long way to go but interesting on more devices getting towards convergence. i think that a tv made for you tube was just a catch they used it seems to be more of an internet enabled t.v. than just a you tube t.v. some old exec that dosent understand technology & these generations insisted to title it that i bet! ye prolly just uses you tube for soft porn!

The point is, that it can be done. like a sling box already attached to your tv. Now if i could stream from the other websites such as NBC and be able to load shoutcast or icecast, it would be cool.

This could be intresting technology, or just another fad in the way of true technological advancement. time has the yeilded true answer's to everthing, only it comes with time itself.

for 250 bucks you could buy a wii, connect it to your tv and watch as much youtube as you want, plus it plays games and you can go on the rest of the net. i agree with the dude who said it would look like hot garbage. it looks like steaming hot garbage on my 42" aquos.

i wish so hard that they would step their resolution game up, they probably already have the plan but are just waiting for everyone else to catch up before they try to one up them. the longer they wait the cheaper the equipment and the bandwidth gets. youtube has no reason to start paying normal contributers or increase resolution right now, they are the kings of the internet video world.

Meh. I hate how YouTube's become this one well-know social place. I mean with a big screen TV and good ol' jolly low-quality YouTube, there's not much to watch other than video blogs from people you hope you never meet, poorly made parody videos, boring homemade commercials, unfunny comedic videos and more. I mean clips from shows and enjoying the moments you get from watching a full movie or episode through YouTube before someone removes it would be great on the big screen, but that's it.
