Philips Sets Flat-Panel TVs Free with U.S. Launch of Wireless HD
Shane,
This is a great announcement! No more Cables? This will be great for projectors....though it's not gonna make the Cable suppliers very happy! I had no idea that the wireless signal could carry so much information!
Is Technology great or what....I would think that someone like Philips would make a transmitter/receiver combo to work with everyone's equipment....yes?

Well unless it's built into the TV, you still have to have the receiver attached to the TV somehow via a cable. So having a completely integrated solution is ideal.
At CEDIA this year in September, Wireless sets were also being shown by Sony and LG ... so they're coming!

...and near lossless was a term used at a CEDIA press conference.
Take wireless with a grain of salt and know that still, to this date, they have not been able to fully duplicate the bandwidth of using a cable.
I would not recommend it for a performance user yet those are few and between, so, for how most people use a TV and the sizes they are buying - they will think it's great. Bear in mind distance and location play a huge role in how well the wireless system performs.

wireless: while we're on the subject
Any suggestions for a good wireless set-up for the "rear, behind-the-head" speakers. I live in a church parsonage and the Trustees don't approve of drilling holes, my wife doesn't approves of running wires, even under rugs, so I've got to find another way.
