A display [tv, lcd, etc] is the most important piece of a media center and it's performance can make or break a setup. The problem I see with this is the more a device is asked to do, the more prone is to crashing and instability. Even though I've been asked 'Why are you rebooting the tv?' it was obviously the pc not the tv, yet now we will be exposing ourselves to problems on multiple machines that are multi tasking. This is a great concept but I think, I'll keep my POTV for now [plain ol' tv] :) While technology such as this is cool, it’s creeping into places it shouldn’t, no, isn’t ready for imho.
