Manufacturers: TCL and Hisense

From PCMag -- "Roku currently offers over 1,500 different content channels, with new channels released daily. Most major content providers are already supported by Roku, including YouTube, Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, and HBO GO. Roku OS integrates content search across many of these services, letting users see if and how a title is available through multiple channels.

TCL's Roku TVs include four models in its FS4610R series ranging from 32 to 55 inches and featuring 120Hz panels. The 32-inch 32FS4610R is a 720p display and will retail for $229, while the 40FS4610R, 48FS4610R, and 55FS4610R are 1080p screens and will respectively retail for $329, $499, and $649. All four HDTVs are available for pre-order now, and are scheduled to ship in the next month.

Hisense's H4 series includes 40-, 48-, 50-, and 55-inch models. The 40- and 40-inch screens sport 60Hz panels, while the 50- and 55-inch screens feature 120Hz panels. Hisense has not specified suggested retail prices for any of the models, and will leave pricing completely up to retailers' discretion. All four Hisense H4 HDTVs are expected to ship in September."

I wonder when Amazon will integrate with Roku for their phones and tablets?

From Business Insider:

"Smart TVs And Streaming Devices Are Taking Over — And Completely Changing How We Watch TV"

"...Smart TVs are about to reach a tipping point next year, when they will overtake shipments of traditional TVs in the global market. In the U.S., connected TVs — including smart TVs and streaming devices — will be in 43% of households by 2016.

The adoption of connected TVs is having a huge impact on how and what we watch on TV and resulting in big changes to the pay TV industry. Big draws to pay TV, such as Major League Baseball and World Wrestling Entertainment have launched their own over-the-top video streaming services geared toward connected TV users, while major cable companies like Comcast and Time Warner Cable have reported frightening subscriber loss numbers in recent quarters."
