Slick network media-player-in-TV design; can stream music, movies, and photos to TV; can produce deep black for an LCD flat panel; clean video processing; Rhapsody support; excellent remote.
Expensive; only one usable HDMI input; spotty HD over wireless streaming; no QuickTime or AAC support; noncustomizable menus for media; cant change aspect-ratio modes with HD sources; no PC input or picture-in-picture.
You can get the streaming media functionality of the HP SLC3760N for less money by connecting an outboard box, but its a fine choice if you dont mind paying more for all-in-one simplicity.
