Leave it to Haier--a brand better known for its refrigerators--to design a TV with a feature we've always wanted: a printer port.

If this yet-to-be-released HDTV does what SlashGear says, the 47-inch L47A18 model will be able to grab screenshots of your favorite Battlestar Galactica scenes and print them out. It also has two USB ports and a memory card reader, so you can display photos and play your own movies and music on the set.

The downside, of course, is the price: $2,742. Even though it has full 1080p resolution, Haier isn't exactly known for its high-quality TVs. Maybe it can come up with a fridge combo that can automatically print out a photo when you're down to the last Bud Light.
