1080p DivX Support Coming to LG HDTVs in May
LG has announced support for full 1080p DivX video in their new line of TVs, which begin shipping in May.

Similarly, this feature is great news for those of us who want a convenient way to playtorrented Blu-ray ripsour HD home video collection, but will mean absolutely nothing to the majority of people who buy the sets.
