Video Daily: Skype HD headed to LG, Panasonic HDTVs

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 05 Jan 2010 11:11 User comments (1)

Skype has announced today the addition of 720p HD webcam and software support for their service, but perhaps more notably, deals with both LG and Panasonic for Skype-enabled HDTVs.

Current Skype users can upgrade to the new 4.2 beta which can achieve 1280x720 HD resolution at 30fps. The company will begin selling HD webcams, through faceVision, for $100 which included video encoding and on-board processing.

The HDTVs will have integrated Skype software, built-in 720p webcams and mics, for voicemail, landline and mobile calls.

Pricing should be made available at CES.
