It doesn’t ditch the wires entirely, but VIZIO’s slick little system can move your wire mess up to 30 feet from the TV.

Ho Ho Ho, It’s Magic
Not having to tether all of your AV equipment to the TV is certainly a nice bonus. It creates a cleaner setup — and can even save you time and money on adding additional outlets, web access, and other essentials. The XWH200 doesn’t put many limitations on what devices can be added into the wireless setup. If it’s got an HDMI jack, you can enjoy full 1080p HD, 7.1 surround sound, and all of the other features we demand from today’s AV systems. VIZIO absolutely nailed it with those options, as well as a $229 MSRP. Yes, it could use a better remote. Also, it may involve a frustrating setup, with the occasional need to unplug the unit to reset it.  But if you can live with these limitations, VIZIO’s XWH200 offers an interesting solution to those who want to live their lives without wires.
