GefenTV Wireless HDMI extender beams 1080p up to 100 feet away

GefenTV Wireless HDMI extender beams 1080p up to 100 feet away

So let's get the bad news out of the way right up front: this puppy's a wallet-busting $900. That said, the GefenTV Wireless HDMI extender would make a fine addition to any home theater as it can beam a 1080p signal with Dolby 5.1 quality surround sound up to 100 feet away from the unit. For the wireless buffs: it's packing Amimon's 5GHz wireless technology under the hood, which our very own Charlie White reports is "squeaky-clean and lag-free."

The $900 system includes the transmitter and receiver. It's worth noting that this unit tops out at 1080/30 with its high def signal. If you're a stickler (read: have a TV warranting the wait), Gefen will no doubt come out with a Blu-Ray quality 1080/60 wireless device.

Are you serious? First of all, 1080/30??? Sounds like what the rest of us call 1080i. Definitely not 1080p. Second, for $900, you could have better quality and reliability by hiring an electrician to custom install an HDMI cable (or 2!).
