Plus. who would want a high power electromagnetic field in their living room?
"Samsung Support. May I help you?"
"Yes...your new TV is great but um...I think it fried my PC, my stereo, my refrigerator and my coffee pot."
“Er, my wife isn’t getting pregnant. Might it be your TV wireless power system?”

Is this just a beefed up inductive coil?
Wouldn’t necessarily be harmful to humans, but might not play well with other wirelessly-charging devices. (iphone 8 and higher, for example...)
I heard about this concept a decade ago. They said that the way this sort of power transfer works is through sympathetic waves and harmonics. Kinda like how if you play a G on a guitar, the G string on other guitars in the room will vibrate. But the challenge is that past something like 50 feet, the electricity will be absorbed by “anything. Meaning if you were to give it a 50+ foot transmission range, a person standing next to the electricity broadcasting point would feel no ill effects, but if they walked away, at the 50 foot mark they would be electrocuted. So this sort of thing has to have a very short range, like the charging pads used by phones.
Good catch!
Tesla had high frequency power transmitting throughout his lab. At night, at the door, there was a basket of light bulbs there. You grabbed one by the base, and you had a light.
In Colorado, he actually planted a field of light bulbs outside his lab and was able to light them up wirelessly.
The choice of 60 or 50 Hz for power was stupid (and likely self serving). Tesla was the father of so many things, from the transistor to the torpedo, AC power to flourescent fixtures.
Einstein was once asked, “How does it feel to be the smartest man on planet Earth?”
His reply, “I have no idea, ask Nicola Tesla.”

Idiots would.
I’ll pass, until it’s thoroughly tested on rats, or prisoners, or Democrats. ;)
Would love to see the day when cable tv gets screwed.
still got the cable cords, tho.
if you cross the transmission path (microwave beam?), how do you avoid being zapped?
Chuckling because my father’s method of imposing a TV ban as punishment when we were kids was to remove the set’s power cord.
....and I now have two heads and three penises. Could this have anything to do with your TV?
Cancer anyone?
I’d like to know how they’re going to get one or more 18 Gbps HDMI feeds into it without cables. You know, like from your cable box, Android box, PC, UHD Blu-ray player, etc? There’s no current wireless networking standard that’s up to that kind of data rate.
You can cook your TV dinner with your TV.
Wow
There goes my AM radio reception.
Pay no attention to that high power ISM band RF transmitter in the corner...
And don’t forget your Faraday shielded jock if you plan to father children.
I'll keep my TV, as is, mounted on the LR wall.
Look as Tesla and many others like Rife and NASA have researched,
There are good emf fields, and there are bad emf fields, and it depends what frequency they are. Some frequencies harm the body, some help it.
Just what I need. A high power electromagnet in my home to erase my credit cards and my PC’s hard drives.
