Eventually, we will have our Over the Top TV solutions right into the TV. It was only a matter of time before a company like Boxee would start to do this. ViewSonic answered that call with the new DT.

Boxee will be integrated in the TV, plug in Ethernet and go. It also frees up your HDMI 1 port. The ViewSonic TV already has 4 HDMI1 ports, so you can connect up multiple devices.

The TV is expected to be out by June.
