Hi-Fi technology has already come a long way, but now new technologies are emerging which will make what we think is high-tech now, old. These upcoming technologies are some that will change the way your hi-fi set will entertain you.


HDMI: This single cable is capable of carrying HD Video AND Sound all into one firewire-looking cable. Because this is digital, it does however mean that no CRT TV's will be compatible with this product, but upcoming LCD and Plasma panels will.

CRP: (Cathode Ray Panel) is a Samsung CRT TV that measures 71cm wide but only 41cm thick! This is a new general type of CRT, and it is capable of displaying high definition video as well. It is still twice as thick as a plasma TV however, but priced at $1200USD, it's something worth considering when you're going to buy a new TV.

801.11n: This new type of wireless technology is now perfectly capable of replacing your wired network! Featuring 100Mb/s, it matches up to the usual LAN connection, but now you can experience it being transmitted through your house; no cables needed!

This could well be the answer to home-theatre video streaming, but don't expect it on the market until mid 2006.

UWB: Ultra Wide Band technology allows users to eliminate all wires needed by your hi-fi system. Capable of transmitting speeds of up to 500Mb/s in short distances, it's goodbye to all your cables.

Next generation DVD players: DVD players have already come a far way, but people who watch HDTV will find it low quality. Next generation DVD's will feature HD-Video, bringing a whole new world of crisp images to your TV.
