New York - P&F USA plans to
offer Philips Media Connect wireless technology to turn a TV screen into a PC screen
without a physical cable connection between the two, P&F marketing director
Keith Michael announced.
The company used a laptop to demonstrate
the technology publicly for the first time for reporters here. "This is the
first public showing of [Media Connect]," he said.
In September, the technology will
come to the currently available $229.99-suggested DLNA-certified BDP7320
Blu-ray player, which comes with included 802.11b/g/n dongle. Also in
September, 7705 series LED TVs and 7505 240Hz CCFL LCD TVs, all with DLNA
certification, will also get the upgrade, Michael said.
Current owners of the Philips Blu-ray
player and TVs will also get the upgrade, he said.
With the upgrade, PC software supplied
by P&F will enable a PC -- including a PC without DLNA certification -- to
transmit exact images of its screen to the Philips TVs or, via the Blu-ray
player, to other TVs. The TV screen will duplicate exactly what appears on the
PC screen, including Web browsing sessions, PowerPoint presentations and the
like, Michael said.
