GE-branded TVs to return in 2009: One model with built-in Blu-ray?

GE-branded TVs are back, thanks to a partnership with Tatung, a Taiwanese company. The next joint venture will produce LCD HDTVs that are slated for a spring, 2009 release.

The last GE-branded TVs to see the light of day came out in 1987.

The TVs will come in sizes between 19 and 65 inches, so it looks like they’ve got a nice little spread there.

There’s also reports that at least one of the upcoming models will include a built-in Blu-ray player. Might that be the thing needed for Blu-ray to hit critical mass? (Will it ever?)
