It was called Google Q&A. Here's the announcement in the Official Google Blog back on April 7, 2005.

After checking bestbuy.ca and futureshop.ca I found 1 1080P HDTV and it was not 1000 bucks, it wasn't even close.. I've only seen a 1080p TV in a super high end audio/video store.

One 1080p TV from Outpost.com (Fry's Electronics) for under $1000 right here.

Too bad it won't take a 1080p signal. You've fallen for one of the great wonders of the video world, advertising scalled inputs resolutions while actual native input resolution being something different hidden amongst the fine print.

True 1080p does exist without needing to go to a super high end store. Westinghouse has a 37" 1080p LCD panel that takes 1080p input -- the LVM-37w3. It's not under $1k, but it's pretty close: $1299 from Crutchfield. I bought mine from BestBuy after having them match the price at my local store.
