Sony Europe has announced a new 9.9mm-thick 40-inch HDTV, the Bravia ZX1.

"Boasting Wireless 1080 technology, which utilises a separate base station (a.k.a Media Receiver) to keep your lounge nice and tidy by letting you hide all your AV equipment out of sight and have the signals broadcast to the TV, Sony reckons the ZX1 is the world's slimmest LCD," writes Tech Digest's Gary Cutlack.

What's the technology behind that wireless connection? "We've got a tipster telling us that Sony's new 9.9-mm thin, wireless Bravia ZX1 is absolutely, without a doubt, based on Amimon's WHDI (pre-standard) wireless technology," writes Engadget's Thomas Ricker.

"Pricing has not yet been announced, but you can expect it to be astronomical," writes Wired's Brian X. Chen. "Sony announced the Bravia ZX1 in Europe, and there's no word on an international release yet."
