I thought the TV and the computer were merging?

I'm looking at the new LCD TVs. I asked the salesguy, are there any models where I can just hook it up to the cable modem and watch Hulu.com on the TV without also hooking up a computer?

No.

WTF? How hard can this be to implement?

You can... maybe just not that particular TV. It depends on whether or not it has HDMI connections. If your video card has HDMI output, then your good to go. The sales guy was either ignorant of that, or just lazy.

Here's a random article...

Some TV's are already built for it also via "PC-IN" jack... I think your sales guy might need a bit of training.

I think he's asking for a tv that'll do it with out an external computer.
Haven't seen one yet except for sony:
Sony VAIO LT Series PC/TV All-in-One - LT38E - 4 GB RAM - 2.1 GHz

But they aren't very big.

Yeah, I meant all-in-one. Wow, small and pricey still. Okay, so add a cheap laptop to the cost of the TV.
