HDMI is good.. but let’s face it.. wouldn’t it be awesome if we could just simply eradicate any wires at all in our home theater systems? Well that dream is pretty much a reality folks thanks to companies like AMIMON who are working on wireless high definition technologies. AMIMON’s technology is called WHDI and they recently partnered up with Sharp to include their technology in Sharp’s X-Series of LCD TVs.

AMIMON WHDI technology is capable of delivering wireless uncompressed HDTV at ranges of over 100 feet and through multiple walls. Sharp’s implementation of WHDI technology allows their X-Series to separate the tuner from the display. The tuner can now be connected to the display either via a traditional cable or via a wireless video transmitter. The new sets will go on sale first in Japan. The only downside thus far? The added expensive in having WHDI - about 800 dollars on top of the cost of the Sharp HDTV set. Ouch.

You just got yourself a beautiful new flat panel HDTV set and you want to put it up on your wall. One small problem - there’s no convenient way for you to hide those unsightly wires connecting your home theater system to your television set. That’s where the promise of Belkin’s upcoming FlyWire device comes in. It’s a 5GHz wireless transmitter/receiver solution designed to transmit uncompressed 1080p True Cinema signals from your video source straight to display. You can connect your HD source (whether it’s an HD DVD player, a Blu-ray player, an HD cable set top box - whatever) to your television set via a wireless transmission. The end result? No unsightly wires to deal with. The FlyWire includes both a transmitter and receiver and will be coming out this summer. The estimated MSRP is between $499 to $599.
