LG's
LH-series wireless HDTVs just
made their debut in South Korea last month, and it looks like they're on their way to a Stateside launch soon -- there's the 55LH85, sitting pretty in Uncle Sam's FCC workshop. Of course, the real noise with these sets is the ASW1000 Media Box, which has three HDMI jacks, a pair of component inputs, antenna in, and VGA, all of which it can wirelessly send to your set from 10 meters (32.8 feet) away at
60GHz. Sadly, you can't just tuck it away, since it needs line of sight or close to it to work -- it'll bounce the signal off walls, but placing it right next to the TV won't work so great, according to the manual. Still, it's definitely cool tech -- let's hope ol' Sammy gets through with it soon so we can try it ourselves.

Seriously, who gives a crap about wireless? You still have to mount the thing and pull ac power through the wall to it, so what's the point of eliminating input cables?
We need that bandwidth for more important things, and not silly vanity/gimmick features that leaves us open to security and interference problems.

You're pulling power cables through the wall? You realize it's against fire code unless the cable is in-wall rated right? If a fire breaks out in your home and even if the cable is not responsible, your insurance can void your claim.
