LG to launch Wi-Di 3-D TVs in 2012

Dec. 15, 2011—LG Electronics and Intel collaborated to create wireless display (Wi-Di) technology that will be featured in LG’s Cinema 3D TVs in 2012.

Wi-Di is an interface that allows high-definition video content to be streamed wirelessly to a TV from a notebook computer.

Some notebook computers have Wi-Di capability, but a Wi-Di TV adapter is needed to transfer HD video to a TV from a notebook computer.

LG’s Cinema 3D TVs will be the first TVs to have Wi-Di technology that’s embedded in the TV. LG will launch the technology at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show, which takes place Jan. 10–13 in Las Vegas.
