Stand your precious new HDTV on a simple, old-fashioned plank of wood? No, that’s way too low-tech… or at least you might think so after seeing Sony’s RHT-G500. It’s an “invisible home cinema” TV stand. “A TV stand with a product code?” you might ask. Yes. And an integrated 3.1-channel audio system with S-Force PRO Front Surround technology, HDMI inputs with pass-through, a special PMP connector, and both Bluetooth and wi-fi connectivity. And you can stand TVs on it: it’s designed for 32-inch to 40-inch sets. No word on pricing or availability. [Sony Europe via I4U]
This May Sony Japan is expected to release the RHT-G900 TV stand designed especially for its Bravia lineup. The rack features a built-in left, right, and center speaker channels along with a subwoofer in the rack which will deliver 5.1 channel virtual surround sound and 470W of power.
