Westinghouse Takes HD Wireless

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Jan 6th 2008 at 2:47AM

We all love our HD and our home theater set ups, but all of the wires are certainly a pain, and plenty unsightly. But Westinghouse is hoping to "cut the cord" and usher in the era of wireless HD. The company, known for its quality budget TVs, will be showing off an LCD HDTV with wireless HDMI technology that will allow the television to be mounted anywhere in your house -- without running cable from your set top box. So now you can hide your ugly cable box in a cabinet or in another piece of furniture, and then mount the television across the room. It also means you can wall-mount your TV without unsightly wires.

Of course, no home theater system would be complete with out a surround sound system. And what would a fancy wireless TV be without a fancy wireless audio system? Westinghouse will also be showing a wireless receiver and speakers that have a range of 65-feet and introduce no latency (which can be an issue with wireless) so that the image and audio are always perfectly in sync.

We're looking forward to seeing these wire-free Westies in action to see if they live up to the hype -- check back over the next few days for our hands-on impressions.
