Toshiba: PS3 chip too hot for tellies  From Cell to Cevo  By

Toshiba has been rather quiet about the Cell processor of late -
last year it was very keen to tell World+Dog it would be putting
the PlayStation 3 chip into high-end sets - it's because it has
realised it can't put the thing into televisions.  Last year's
Cell TVs all shoved the CPU into a separate box - a not uncommon
feature of top-end tellies, particularly the very thin ones,
which can be so thin because all the circuity not directly
related to displaying a picture are taken off the back of the
display panel.  There's another benefit: a set-top box gives you
room to add all the cooling the Cell requires.  Toshiba Regza

identically specced but black in look  And that's the problem,
