The 240Hz TV isn’t the only thing coming to home cinema in 2009. Onboard Internet looks set to be the next big trend in flat screens with Toshiba and Samsung jumping onboard.
Remember Intel’s Internet TV demo we raved about? Turns out, it wasn’t a passing fad.

While we were gearing up to hear Sony, Samsung, and Panasonic up the ante with 200+ Hz TVs here at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (there’s already several 240Hz model being talked about), turns out the bigger story is the push to wack in Ethernet ports and chips that might have you reaching for the TV remote instead of the keyboard to go online.

And if you though the Blu-Ray vs HD DVD battle was a big deal, it seems the big players in HD TV think this new trend will be bigger, with Samsung’s Executive Vice President calling it the “future of TV”.
