Unfair or not, one of the most familiar matrimonial stereotypes of the communication age is the on-going battle between he who wants wires, and she who does not. It is a curious state of affairs, as women, in general, watch just as much television as men, yet the cliché would indicate that they are not willing to put up with the mess of black cables that having a HDTV, digi box, DVD player and/or games console tend to require in the corner of your lounge.
One way of hiding this unsightly menagerie is a tasteful entertainment cabinet or some other piece of similar shaped furniture that has learnt to improvise, but some screens are just MASSIVE, and buying nice new furniture to hide your tech toys can double the cost of the whole enterprise, and you could get an even bigger TV for that. So, some cause for celebration this week then, as Eminent announced the iTrio kit for wireless HDTV.
The iTrio consists of a sender unit, which can hide in the cupboard with all your other gizmos and bits of electric string, and a receiver, which plugs in to your TV. This arrangement means all you need to see is the TV and receiver box, with the DVD, digi box and console all hidden from view, beaming their magic pictures to the TV via the sender unit. The system supports full 1080p resolution, meaning it is future proofed and a perfect complimentary purchase for the many cheap plasma TVs currently on offer. It also features two HDMI ports so you can connect your PS3 along with your digi box rather than having to keep swapping cables.
So next time you’re under pressure to invest in expensive furniture just to hide the cables of your new cheap LG TV, think of iTrio.
