Mitsubishi Launching WHDI-Enabled Wireless LCD TV, As Early As This Fall

First Sharp took on AMIMON's Wireless High Definition Interface (WHDI) technology in their X-Series LCD TV's, and now Mitsubishi has chosen AMIMOM to supply their integrated HD wireless link for a few upcoming sets in Japan. Embedded with a wireless chip, Mitsubishi's upcoming LCD lineup consists a two parts-an LCD panel and a separate HDTV receiver unit that streams uncompressed HD video.

So far no pricing or specific availability dates have been released, nor have any model numbers or specs for the new WHDI-enabled line. Mitsubishi has revealed though, that the wireless HDTV's could be available in Japan as early as this fall.

Samsung Bringing LED Backlighting To 40-Inch Model

Samsung has unleashed 8 new LCD TV's on Japan that we're already familiar with as Samsung's Series 7/8/9 models. Dubbed PAVV Bordeaux in Japan, Samsung has tweaked the feature set for the country, taking the InfoLink service we know and spinning it as Library TV (basically just YouTube access). Something North America and Europe didn't get in their PAVV Bordeaux iteration is a 40-inch set with LED backlighting, something the 40-inch Bordeaux 780 sports. Samsung says moving local dimming technology to smaller models is a direct attempt to spread LED's to all sizes of LCD HDTV's. We like that thinking Samsung.

Samsung 3D TV arriving in Ireland early April

The era of 3D television is upon us and the first 3D panels to be sold in Ireland will be through Samsung, who has confirmed that electronics stores will be getting shipments from the second week in April.

When will I be able to buy a 3D TV?

With 3D televisions arriving in Irish shops from the second week in April the first consumers can expect to be sitting down to a three-dimensional experience in their living room by the end of the month.

Samsung is the first TV manufacturer to bring 3D TV to Ireland and will be offering this new technology across its three offerings: LCD, plasma and the recently introduced LED screen.
