The wireless LF-X1 system consists of a 7-inch LCD TV with a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, 800 x 480 native pixel resolution, and an accompanying base station.

Enjoy your favorite programming in your favorite spot with the 7-inch LocationFree TV.

The base station houses most connection terminals, an NTSC broadcast tuner, and a wireless transmitter. The monitor runs on either of 2 supplied rechargeable lithium batteries (1 standard, 1 long-life), while the battery charger works on universal power (AC 100 to 240V) for use in most countries.

Using Sony's first dual-band wireless system (2.4 and 5 GHz), the base station transmits video content to the touch-panel screen--there's no mouse required. The set delivers stable video and audio signals without interference from other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwave ovens and cordless phones. Internet and TV content arrives from the base station by way of secured device authentication and encryption technology, making the system perfect for Internet surfing in WiFi hotspots and via Ethernet ports found in hotels, airports, and other locations.

The innovative system employs the IEEE 802.11a/11g protocol for a wide selection of transmission channels, and it switches the channel automatically to minimize monitor interference across a range of up to 100 feet from the base station. The 802.11a/g standards support a higher bit rate than the conventional 802.11b standard, helping the set maintain stable, high-quality video images. The LocationFree TV also uses advanced QoS (Quality of Service) technology, which delivers extra bandwidth security for reliable audio/video transmissions, even in high-traffic wireless environments.

The LocationFree TV autoselects the strongest wireless signal so you get the best transmission wherever you are.

When the base station and the wireless monitor are each connected to the Internet through your existing ISP, you can easily and quickly access the Web, exchange e-mail, and shop online using the onscreen keyboard. It can also morph into a digital photo album, displaying custom slide shows from its built-in memory or from a CompactFlash card, which plugs into a dedicated flash-memory port. You may also play MPEG-1 video files from a CF card.

Filling the role of an intuitive graphical use interface (GUI), the onscreen universal remote and onscreen keyboard heighten the LocationFree TV's uniqueness and versatility. Sony's GUI simplifies navigation of all aspects of the set. You can even use the screen itself as a remote to switch from channel to channel or from function to function.

The base station houses an Ethernet port for broadband compatibility and 2 video inputs for audio/video components and other peripherals (S-video, composite-video). There's also IR blaster for added control and convenience. The set comes with 2 rechargeable batteries: 1 standard, 1 long-life.
