I mean that device severely limits the quality. The evidence is in your video. It doesn't even support HDR for example. Is that fine for you?

Yes I believe LG would release it. It's to be the first. I work very closely with both LG and Samsung with their hospitality displays. I have weekly meetings with their display engineers. My evidence is from experience.

Dude the entire argument was that if you're using a HDMI device then you will have quality loss with this wireless solution opposed to using a standard non-wireless tv. You're pulling a classic strawman argument. Taking HDMI out of the equation is not an argument. I can't connect my Roku, computer, Xbox, PlayStation, or whatever other device I have to this tv without quality loss.

>So even if you used an other system what would happen is the box would stream the video from internet without decoding/decompressing and be sent directly over network to your TV.

It doesn't work like that. HDMI carries uncompressed video. Yes, it'd be great if it could do what you're talking about. But that's not possible with HDMI.

>HDMI supporting significant faster speed is irrelevant as you basically don't need it for video streaming. The only case it could make sense is realtime video streaming for gaming. That could be an issue but in reality I doubt it's much of an issue. It's not like encoding/compressing video is terribly hard to do as games could output an encoded stream without having to resize frames or anything "expensive".

Look at the bandwidth requirements for uncompressed video.

Not with HDMI. The HDMI spec uses uncompressed video data. The audio can be compressed though.

Regardless, the issue with this tv is there's likely a 2nd compression and decompression happening between the tv and wireless box. That increases latency and almost certainly has quality loss too. The article is light on details, so there's not really much to go on.

It has nothing to do with buffering or your internet speed. The video file you're streaming over the internet is compressed. If you're using a set top box (like a Roku) then that receives the video and decodes it. Then it sends the uncompressed video via the HDMI cable. That needs significantly more bandwidth than the compressed video. Hence why HDMI supports significantly faster speeds.
