New Sharp AQUOS Cordless LCD TVs

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the easy-furniture-rearranging dept.

i4u writes "I4U reports about Sharp introducing AQUOS a new line of cordless LCD TV Sets. Sony introduced beginning of April the cordless Sony Vega TV series. Now Sharp introduces their line of cordless TV Sets. The Sharp AQUOS LC-15L1 is a 15" LCD TV set that has no wires. The display is powered by a built-in lithium battery. The AV signal is transmitted wirelessly from the base station that contains the tuner. The AV signal is transmitted over 2.4Ghz. The cordless Sony Vega TV series use 5GHz to avoid interference, so Sharp is a bit behind here. The AQUOS LC-15L1 will retail for about 175,000 yen starting May 1st in Japan." These look pretty cool, but of course the battery life and/or battery pricing could be an issue. I guess it depends on how important it is to be able to carry your TV from room to room.

    .5 seconds left in the NCAA final. UNC is up by one and Duke has the ball. God, I have to pee. It sure would be great if the TV was wireless.

  6. dupe? of the early 90's? by skydude_20 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I remember back in the day I with the likes of Sony or Casio, they all had handheld (and bigger if you wanted) portable tv's, we could take pretty much anywhere in the country and always get a decent amount of channels. So maybe there's a new market for this stuff? I better throw mines on ebay quick, make some good $$$.

  7. Stick my head in the microwave oven. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny
    Ok, I'm getting fried by a 5 GHz TV. I'm getting fried by my 2 GHz cordless phone. I'm getting fried by 400 MHz cordless headphones. I'm getting fried by my ATT Nokia cell phone. I'm getting fried by by 1.8 GHz Athlon. I'm getting zapped by my 803.11 ethernet. I'm getting broiled by my bluetooth. I'm being cooked by DirecTV satellite.

    Death by a thousand zaps. I think I'll stick my head in the microwave. It will be quicker.
