A Samsung Electronics exec said this week that his company will intro a plasma display later this year that uses 802.11(n) technology to transmit data wirelessly between the TV and the set-top box or PC. The company also is looking at incorporating wireless HDMI into the plasma, technology that was shown off at CES by Amimon and others.
Some of you may remember that Sharp came out with an LCD display a couple of years back that was cordless, using a rechargeable battery for power. I don't recall exactly how it received an HDTV signal (I believe via a regular digital tuner with an over-the-air antenna) but reviews were pretty mixed on its performance. This wireless plasma from Samsung definitely ups the ante for everyone who's sick of the rat's nest of wires behind their TV, and even though it will still need to be plugged into the wall for power, should represent a promising development.
