Wireless goes your HDTV, thanks Sharp’s tuner

By Andrew | April 30, 2008

This is one wireless technology that I’m actually faling in love with. Thanks to Sharp, and the new device that they have created, there will be a little less web of wires behind your high-end TVs, particularly Sharp’s recently launched ultra slim X-series LCD displays.

They call this wireless technology as WHDI (Wireless High Definition Interface). This allows HDMI signals to be transmitted in full 1080p, without loosing upon quality. All of your TV inputs and bulky tunings will get routed to your TV via the tiny set top box you see on top.

The box is supposed to be placed 100 feet away and can work across 4-5 walls, allowing you to keep all of your home theater equipments lie at a safe place out of the way.

The technology seems smart and nothing smart comes without a price and the WHDi is no exception. This device is priced at $800. I don’t think, it’s much of a price to give an extra kick of style to your already stylish HDTV from Sharp.
