Ace Computers’ new LHD Viva is an all-in-one Media Center PC/LCD TV, similar to many Soney and HP offerings. It is an iMac competitor with features the iMac cannpt touch right now, namely Digital Cable Tuners.
The unit, which costs less than $2,000 is a HD Media Center with a built-in 22-inch TV. It has two built-in ASTC TV tuners with an option for external CableCard tuners. It is unclear whether the external tuners are part of that $2,000 figure. This seems like another option for the “Media Center computer as a second TV” market.
