Cords usually are an eye sore. The good news is, wireless systems has turned your home into eye candy. The cordless phone, the Bluetooth dongle, the wireless home theater system, they have all done wonders to free your living area of the cable mess. Now another electronic marvel has come out -- Wireless HDMI -- so you can easily shift that large-screen LCD TV from your desk to your wall devoid of having the ugly sight of dangling HDMI cable connections.

With Wireless HDMI technology, you do not have to drill holes and run wires from your DVR, Blu-ray player, cable box, or game console to enjoy high-definition audio and video broadcasts in full 1080p on your TV. Wireless HDMI devices are created to make it much quicker for you to mount and connect all your digital components even more so if they are placed plenty of feet apart from each other.

Functioning from a distance of up to 30 feet, Wireless HDMI is the most effective option to tucking in those thick cables and wires around the place, all the way through the divider or up the ceiling, and into a different room in your home. This is fantastic for configurations where you can't stock all your HD devices in the same place.

Just how does Wireless HDMI do the job? A Wireless HDMI machine employs ultra-wideband radio frequencies to collect massive quantities of audio and video information from an HD source such as a HD DVD player and transmit 1080 progressive HD video to your HDTV or projector.

Still in its infancy, Wireless HDMI technology as expected suffered from a few challenges with early devices that generated unstable video signals and was restricted to short-range coverage. And without an official Wireless HDMI standard in place, consumer electronic manufacturers have resorted to using their own proprietary technology; the ASUS Wireless Display Connectivity, LG Wireless 1080p, Philips Wireless HDTV Link, and Sony Bravia Wireless Link are a handful of of the more famous varieties.

As improvements to Wireless HDMI technology are being created, it is anticipated that upcoming HD devices will normally include wireless connectivity options as well. The Gefen EXT-WHDMI Wireless HDMI Extender is at least one of the spanking new models which have displayed real promise.
