Wireless HD is still little more than a carrot dangled in front of rich noses at CES, but Amimon’s WHDI standard is one of the least vaporous, and their new chips improve on the spec.
While there have been several other ultra-thin TVs to cheat on size by moving some of the set’s guts into an external box, we’re starting to see a few of the biggies taking advantage of the newly-codified WHDI spec to beam the signal from the external box to the screen wirelessly. Details are somewhat thin on these new concept Mitsubushi panels, which are 40mm (a hair over 1.5 inches) thick and should reach manufacturing before the year is up. But their use of WHDI (like these Sharp sets before them) to link the panel to the external tuner box adds an interesting twist to this trend.
