Back in the early 2000s, the HDTV market was heating up, with one of the hottest items on the market being the Epson Livingstation — a rear projection television set that had a built-in photo printer that allowed you to print what you saw on your TV screen. The set was available in 47” and 57” models. The obvious advantage was that you could use screen captures, print photos from your camera’s memory card, or even print pictures that were stored on CD. With the printer being integrated into the LCD RPTV, users could view, print or select pictures using a high resolution "full size” display. Of course the screen wasn’t the only thing that was big………the set sold for a whopping $5,499. Released in 2004, it was discontinued shortly after, as consumer electronics moved away from clunky, combined appliances toward PC-based photo management and flat-screen displays.
