LG's WirelessHD LH80 LCD TVs released in Korea


With its 2009 LED-backlit LH90 LCDs already announced, LG has decided its LH80 line should be next up, its first of many -- following Panasonic's lead -- packing a Wireless HD media box to stream any HDMI, USB, or OTA content to the TV. Available in Korea is just this 55-inch model for about 5.1 million South Korean won ($4,008) but you can check out our CES '09 Wireless HD demo for a better look at the box and display while we wait for its LH85 branded U.S. cousin to make an appearance later on this year.

Panasonic, Samsung step up SiBeam WirelessHD investment

The WirelessHD group has been making noise all year in what looks like run up to big things in 2009, so two of its biggest supporters, Panasonic and Samsung, are putting their money where their mouth is, with a "strategic investment" in developer SiBEAM. No word on exactly how much cash was laid out by the two, but the 60Ghz band chip maker is spinning it as a clear show of confidence from two of the world's biggest consumer electronics manufacturers that will help it roll out product in the future. With more than a few variants of cable-free technology on shelves or on the way we'll need to see actual hardware for sale before lining up as true believers.
