Shanghai- The first 32-inch high-definition TVs which can be connected to PCs, enabling users to upload video and audio files to TVs, have hit stores in China. The first 200 units are available in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, priced at RMB 9,999 ($1295). “This is the first phase of mass production of IGRS-standardized home appliances in China,” Zhang Deqian, an official with China’s Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing (IGRS) Working Group told Interfax. He noted the updated TVs are expected to support more interconnected services between home appliances. “When users pick up a call on a mobile phone in the future, they will be able to connect their mobile handsets to ERGS TVs and view the caller on the TV. We are also thinking of connecting TVs with fixed phones and DVD players in the next one or two years,” Zhang said. The IGRS standard was approved by the Ministry of Information Industry last year as China’s national 3C convergence industry standard.
