Your TV has been called many things, from "boob tube" to "idiot box." But not anymore. Because today, there's a TV that's actually smart enough to talk to all of your PCs and other devices: The HP SLC376ON MediaSmart High-Definition LCD TV. And without even being in the same room!
Now, PCs on your home network can connect to your home entertainment system remotely. So, you can stream movies, photos, music and more across your high-speed wired or wireless network from all the PCs in your home to your HP MediaSmart TV — with a few clicks of a single remote control.
And, you can view that content on a big 37" diagonal LCD TV with stunning high-definition (1) (hi-def) resolution and remarkable sound — for an experience that's more satisfying than a Thanksgiving dinner.
Because the HP MediaSmart TV has an integrated digital media receiver, there's no need for add-on digital media adapters to start the conversation between devices.
So, there's less congestion in your viewing area and less "stuff" to buy and learn about — simplifying your whole hi-def entertainment experience.
By opening up the lines of communication between your PC and HP MediaSmart TV, you'll no longer be limited to displaying just what the major networks or cable companies are broadcasting.

You can create your own personal entertainment pipeline — drawing content from your PCs or other online services(2) that offer oodles of audio and visual content from concerts to your favorite TV classics.
For example, within just minutes, you can select, buy and download a full-length movie to your PC(2) from hundreds of licensed providers, then watch it on your MediaSmart TV — without waiting for the mailman.(2)
You can see your photos like you've never seen them before: Up on the big screen in hi-def. (Is that really a gray hair?)
Experience the incredible sound quality of hi-def as you listen to your own music collection or tune into Internet radio(2) with virtually hundreds of stations within earshot. Crank the party up or turn the TV screen off to mellow out as your music keeps playing.
Don't forget that the MediaSmart TV is a great TV, too. That means outstanding, life-like picture clarity, thanks to a state-of-the-art contrast ratio of up to 1,200:1,(3) 3-D color enrichment and automatic ambient light control that adapts to your room. With a refresh rate as fast as 6 ms(3) in hi-def, the MediaSmart TV can deliver the exceptionally crisp visual quality you need for sports and movies.
It all adds up to an astonishing entertainment experience that's truly your own.
Digital content gobbles up a lot of disk space. There's no need to worry, because the HP Media Vault has a healthy appetite for music, videos, photos and more.
With storage capacity that expands up to a staggering 1.2 TB, the HP Media Vault can store up to 500,000 photos, 16,000 hours of music or 340 hours of video. (4)
That means it can become your home network's central storage hub. With an integrated media server, the HP Media Vault can stream hours of entertainment content to different computers or networked TVs throughout your home faster than you can stuff a turkey. And, it can beam your pictures and videos directly to your MediaSmart TV or your PC monitor. The choice is yours.
