Cheer up, because the folks out at LG want to help you get your old television on line with their LG ST600 smart TV upgrader.
Doubtless this is freaking out all the bandwidth providers out there–at least, if you believe what they’re saying–but what the LG ST600 will do is take your “dumb” display and turn it into a smart one. You don’t need an LG television, either; the LG ST600 will work with, apparently, most any television out there (oddly, I can’t quite pin down just what port you’ll need, so take that last with a grain of salt as you may need an HDMI input in order to make it work) and allow you access to, not surprisingly, the LG Smart TV apps system. You’ll get special content, an internet browser, and even DNLA streaming, all for what LG describes as “an affordable price”.

It makes some sense that LG isn’t pegging a price point just yet to give them something to show at CES next week. I’m actually impressed by the sheer amount of home theater options they’re offering up, and I’m honestly wondering if that LG ST600 might also be useful for home theater projectors
as well. Stop and wrap your head around that for a second, folks–YouTube videos fired onto a hundred or so inch screen? Are you ready, as a people, to watch a guy do a jump off a high dive in a kayak (warning: I am not making this up, this is an actual video) in almost lifelike dimensions in the comfort of your own home?
