The Curious Bag
-
As wireless technology proliferates, consumers naturally want this tech to migrate to television sets to remove unsightly wires. HDTVs are a reality and well within the range of anyone already shopping for one.
Identification
HDTVs that receive regular or HD cable are now widely available at retailers. Most major TV manufacturers have a model out, or at least are close to completing a consumer-ready model.
History
In 2007, Samsung made the first major release of a wireless HDTV with its FP-T5894W model, according to CNet News. It initially sold for a suggested retail price of $5,799.
Function
Most Wireless HDTVs take advantage of the drastic improvements in wireless networking, notably the 802.11n standard. A typical HDTV has a receiver built in or attached, and all audio/visual hookups connect to the wireless router.
Benefits
A wireless HDTV setup performs the same function as a wired hookup, with very similar picture quality and none of the hassles of running cables behind walls and under floors.
Considerations
Wireless HDTVs cost anywhere from $200 to $700 extra compared to a model's wired counterpart but should retail for less in the coming years.
