What Sony's Walkman® and Discman® did for on-the-go music enjoyment, the wireless LocationFree TV does for portable viewing.
The 12" LF-X1 places Sony's famous crystal-clear picture at your fingertips without tying you down with a power cord or audio/video cables. Built-in speakers, an easel stand, and a handle let you pick up and move effortlessly from room to room, or head outdoors (reception range is approximately 50 feet). A high-capacity rechargeable battery is built into the TV display, so you can watch for up to 3 hours, unplugged. Wherever you roam, you'll always enjoy a noise-free, high-contrast picture.
The 2-piece design is a masterpiece of clever engineering, and setup is straightforward. First, connect your home entertainment gear to the LocationFree Base Station transmitter unit. You can connect two video sources in addition to the regular antenna/cable TV input — a DVD player and/or a TiVo® recorder, for example. The Base Station stays with your components, making for short, easy connections. Next, plug the Base Station into a broadband Internet connection, and you can surf the Web or send e-mail just like you would with a laptop PC. The controls are easy and intuitive, based on touchscreen menus you operate with a touch of the stylus.
When you take the LF-X1 TV on the road, the super-slim display unit is all you need to take advantage of the growing number of airports, hotels, and coffee shops that have a Wi-Fi "hotspot" for Internet access. Built-in software includes a Web browser, e-mail, and a PDF viewer. There's also a video input, so you can plug in a camcorder and review your day on a big, clear 12" screen. There's even a Memory Stick slot for go-anywhere viewing of digital photo slideshows. Back home, use the LF-X1's picture-in-picture (PIP) feature to simultaneously surf TV and the Web! Jump online to check scores while you watch a ballgame, or check your e-mail during commercial breaks without getting up!

Consumer Alert: This component has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after February 17, 2009, to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation's transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
