With digital televisions (DTVs) supplanting analog models in much of the world, manufacturers are adding new features such as Internet connectivity and wireless HD capability to broaden their appeal, reports In-Stat http://www.in-stat.com.
DTVs are competing with computers to be the entertainment hub of the home. Sets with Internet connectivity are already commercially available in the US, Europe, and Japan. Models from Hitachi, LG Electronics, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, and Sony can connect directly to the Internet without a home computer.

network-enabled, while 34% will be wireless network-enabled.

Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2008 to 2013, the fastest growth among the
major regions, except for Rest-of-World.

Western Europe, and Japan.
