LG announces 1080p DivX support, release windows for new TVs

LG's always done a good job supporting DivX in its players and TVs, so this morning's press release announcing that the company will offer 1080p DivX support in its latest gear isn't all that surprising -- we're mostly excited because it suggests that the latest round of LED-backlit LCDs will arrive in "late May and late April." That's, uh, real soon now, so those of you waiting on a little Scarlet action in your lives should look sharp.

1080p60? well, i guess the ability to do it on HD physical media standalones (and DXVA) would be a start, first, tho

Great, now I just need it to play .mkv files at 720p and 1080p that aren't encoded in divx. Like say H.264 ones. Accomplish this, plus allowing me to plug in my 2TB hard drive filled with these so called mkv files ["of home movies"]. Throw in automatic sorting by category, year, etc or I'd even settle for alphabetic sorting by title and we've got a deal!

Wes, you win! DivXHD = mkv + h.264!

Not joking...
