Hitachi's Ultra Thin LCD lineup to boast Tzero's UWB technology

We knew Hitachi's Ultra Thin HDTV family would boast ultra-wideband technology, and while little was said about this aspect during CES, we've now learned that Tzero will be responsible for handling the aforementioned UWB duties. As expected, the UT HDTVs will "be able to receive high-definition video wirelessly from any HDMI equipped audio / video component," as Tzero promises that users will see transmission speeds of up to 480Mbps. Interestingly, we're told that the UWB-equipped sets are available in Japan right now, but only time will tell if those luscious wireless abilities will make the trip stateside in Q2.

who actually gives a crap about thin panels? IMHO, PQ and CR are all and everything for a TV.

Unfortunately - the vast majority of consumers.

As someone who sells these things, if a product can differentiate itself in some noticeable way (Pioneer Kuro blacks, Panasonic 77 series anti-glare screen, Samsung 81 series LED backlighting, etc.) - it will help sales.

Building a 6" recess in the wall beats ANY thin TV.
