Sharp and Amimon, an emerging leader in semiconductor technology for wireless high-definition video, have combined their technology to bring wireless HDTV experience to users of Sharp’s LCD display units. Slated for a release in Japan soon, Sharp’s super-thin X-series LCD displays will be equipped with Amimon’s Wireless High Definition Interface (HDMI) 1080p wireless technology. For us users, this simply means that we would no longer have to connect any cables to our TVs since all the necessary wires and cables of the Sharp LCD displays will be tucked in a separate set-top box.

The LCD setup can support up to 100 feet of distance between the display and the set-top box, and could even pass through four or five walls. So, you can practically place your display anywhere within the 100 foot distance limit. Would the HDMI signal get affected by the distance? Sharp says no, the new X-series LCDs connected wirelessly on a set-top box will still give a high-quality signal.

The new Sharp X-series LCD models will come in 37-, 42- and 46-inch screen sizes. These LCDs are robustly designed and measure 3.44cm in thickness. And how much would you have to spend to snag of these LCD setups? They are prices at around $4,000 for the Sharp X-series LCD and an additional $800 for the set-top box.
