Amimon's Full 1080P Wireless HDMI Confirmed as Ready and Shipping

I am calling BS on Amimon. Ask them for a copy of their patent and read it very carefully. What's laughable is that the video is compressed while their entire website just pumps up how its uncompressed. The truth is, compression means absolutely nothing. Your HD signal from DirecTV is compressed. So is the one from your cable company. Ever look at that picture and say, "Hmm, that's compressed. That's why it's so lousy!"

Hey, if this does what they say it does, then great. But pumping compression is a load of crap, and pumping up a lack of compression and then doing it is just complete garbage. Surprised Motorola didn't do better DD.

Wireless HDMI. The phrase itself resounds like a chorus of angels, accompanied by a full orchestra, their voices washing the soiled Earth clean with the breath of Heaven. Demonstrated by Amimon at CES, the chipset that allows it is now shipping to TV manufacturers and other conelect firms.

@CubFan81:
I expect to hear from Monster's lawyers anytime now.
Naturally they only use Monster Premium Patents. Ordinary patents have impurities and anomalies that attract litigation. By using only the finest quality gold-plated legal language and descriptions, Monster Patents actually resist litigation and reduce patent trolls by 68%.
It may cost more, but if you want to think you have the best, it's worth it.

All the Monster jokes have been made because they are so obvious its not even funny anymore. Someone should patent the idea of a wireless HDMI signal air purifer cleaner thing like those patent vultures. This would either keep Monster from being able to make it or when they do, atleast you can steal the money right back from them and buy millions of Monoprice cables.

It would be great if Sanyo offered this technology in their new 1080p projector. Right now it's at the top of my list to upgrade from my 4-year-old Z2. Even an external dongle would be ok as long as it's not too bulky. It will be great to have the freedom to move my source equipment and receiver around without having to worry about whether I have enough HDMI cable to reach the projector.

This would be awesome for my projector which is mounted on the ceiling, as long as the receiver is pretty small.

@DeadPlasmaCell: Yeah, but will that really give you 45% better signal?

I mean, if Monster says it's so, then they must be right. They only have my best interests in mind, right?

@Lorne:

Hah, you'd probably get one of those Sharper Image IONIC Breeze machines for cheaper!

@atomriot:
Monster will sell a premium brand "Home Theater Air Filter" which will remove magnetic impurities from the air between your components and TV to ensure a clean WHDI transmission and 45% signal improvement over your cheap ordinary dirty household air.

does this mean that Monster is going to release a wireless solution and charge a really high price for it so other companies will do the same to make a quick and easy buck from suckers?
