GalleryPlayer, a self-described pioneer in lifestyle imagery, is adding Mitsubishi to its grouping of CE manufacturers whose HDTVs you can use to show off “full HD 1080p fine art and photographic images.” Panasonic is among the others already doing this.

GalleryPlayer said its technology will be embedded into 2008 Mitsubishi HDTV models launching this spring. This technology will allow for the playback of GalleryPlayer’s “rights-protected HD images.” The technology company and Mitsubishi are also developing a co-branded Web site which wil let Mitsubishi HDTV owners “access the GalleryPlayer online store and easily download, manage, and export images from such top partners as The Metropolitan Museum of Art and National Geographic.”

“At this year’s CES, we saw more and more TV manufacturers launching new models with features that either connect the TV to the Internet or feature USB interfaces to enable the playback of high value digital content,” said Paul Brownlow, President and Founder of GalleryPlayer. “We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Mitsubishi and today’s announcement further validates how the industry is seeing the revenue generating potential in digital content.”
