HDTV with Netflix built in

I don't even remember the last time I went to a brick-and-mortar movie rental store. Sorry Blockbuster, but Netflix has been my date for movie night for years. I'm glad I haven't upgraded to HDTV yet, because David Katzmaier just reviewed the set I've been waiting for: the LG 47LH50. The first TV with built-in Netflix streaming,  the LG 47LH50 comes loaded with lots of other interactive features and for around $1,500 it. I know what's going on my wish list next.
