Lenovo to use TV as a PC monitors

Lenovo (the Chinese company that bought IBM's PC biz) is going to roll out a $199 PC that uses a TV as a display instead of a monitor. They're only releasing it in China for now, but I'm sure they will see the light sooner or later and go global with it. Sounds familiar to the MSNTV & MSNTV2 owners eh?

I bet they won't tie a subscription fee to it too. You bring your own internet connection and have a go at it. I do wonder how they actually plan to convince the rural Chinese that they need a computer, how they're going to handle Internet infrastructure deficiencies, and how they're going to teach people to use these things. Only time will tell...
