Google and LG are in Negotiations to Potentially Partner on a Nexus-style TV

As you can see from the picture above, LG has really stepped up their game on OLED technology. The company that used to be Goldstar has developed into a formidable tech giant over the years and actually comes out with some pretty good products nowadays. They are now pushing hard into the high-end markets and becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Apparently, Google sees this and further sees some potential there. A new report from Bloomberg suggests that Google and LG are in talks to potentially partner up on a Nexus-style TV. Basically they are considering developing a Google TV-powered HDTV together in order to compete directly with Apple if Apple does indeed come out with some type of Apple TV. This would also be a boon for Google's fledgling Google TV efforts, as it would provide a Nexus-style Google branded piece of hardware that consumers could identify with, like the Nexus phones for Android.

In fact, LG just showcased a brand new OLED 55-Inch TV at CES recently that features some Google software powering it. This is something to watch out for!

On a separate note... it's too bad the girl doesn't come with the TV. ;)

I don't see the appeal for a google/android or "smart" TV. With laptops, tablets and smartphones, do I really need my TV to do more than, you know, watching tv?
 
I just got a 55" Samsung but if the price is right on this I'm definitely gonna have to think about selling the Samsung.

I think the OLED will be in the price range of $5000-$8000 when they come out. That's probably like triple what you paid for your current TV.

Yay! A Nexus TV! I'm waiting for my Nexus microwave after Google partners with GE. :biggrin: From here on out, I'm not buying anything unless it's a nexus. (I might not be getting a toothbrush for a while then...) ;)
