They may not be Eee PCs, but rest assured, Asus [TPE:2357] has once again created a good product with an incredibly stupid ancillary trait. This time it's not the name, but the... smell.

Taipei-based Asus [TPE: 2357] is expanding its consumer electronics line so quickly that it almost doesn't do justice to the impressiveness of each device's individual specs.

The "Eee" moniker was never a great one, but now Asus [TPE: 2357] seems to be applying it beyond its logical limits with something new they quietly brought to Computex 2008: a widescreen LCD television. Sure enough, Engadget China has the pics to prove it. No word yet on the exact size, but it looks to be at least 32 inches. It was exhibited playing a Blu-Ray movie off of a PS3, but other than that, little is known about its functionality or its price point.
