LG LH-series wireless HDTVs hit the FCC

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.

When you say "Sammy", it sounds like you're referring to Samsung, not "Uncle Sam".

Is the power wireless as well?

[djmattyb Posted Jun 11th 2009 7:45PM]

Dear manufacturers: please use RF for your wireless boxes so we can put them in the closet next to the NAS. Thank you.

60 GHZ is rf, its just at those frequencies needed for the bandwidth the waves tend to be absorbed by everything

Unfortunately its not the 60ghz signal thats the problem, its the "content providers" bitching that they don't want your neighbor in the apartment next door watching your premium channels, movies whatever. For this we get a signal so weak its nearly useless.
How long before someone makes a real unit with the range of regular wifi?

Pah, nothing new here, my old CRT tv is also wireless. I can watch tv on it at a distance of up to 20 meters.
