Philips Wireless HD Net Connect snips HDMI cables for $299.99

Philips Wireless HD Net Connect makes it simple to connect your laptop to your TV wireless with no lag, for about $300.


Everybody’s got a foot in the wireless HDMI game these days, and as of New York’s CE Week 2011, Philips is no different. The company used the event yesterday to unveil the Philips Wireless HD Net Connect, a $300 transmitter and receiver that you can connect to any notebook (or desktop, for that matter) with an HDMI port and instantly stream hi-def video to any TV an HDMI port.

At $300, it’s certainly not the cheapest option out there to pull the same trick, but zero latency and the promise of no Wi-Fi interference may place it a step above some competing solutions. Check out a hands-on demo of the the Philips Wireless HD Net Connect in action below.
