“What might an Apple HDTV look like? Akin to the Bose VideoWave integrated home entertainment system, against which it is reportedly being benchmarked, says Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry,” John Paczkowski reports for AllThibgsD.
“‘Apple HDTV is directionally similar to Bose VideoWave TV, in terms of simplicity, image and sound quality, and reducing clutter,’ Chowdhry theorized in a summer research note republished Monday, adding that Apple, in typical fashion, will take it quite a few steps beyond as well, using its spartan-but-elegant design sensibility to virtually eliminate the more cumbersome aspects of current TVs,” Paczkowski reports.
“Whereas the VideoWave requires three cables, says Chowdhry, Apple HDTV will likely need just one. It may also be significantly thinner, though he expects it to have an equal number of built-in speakers,” Paczkowski reports. “‘Bose VideoWave HDTV is 6 inches thick and has 16 speakers,’ Chowdhry writes. ‘Apple HDTV will be one third of that thickness and will also have 16 speakers -– these 16 built-in speakers give a complete surround sound experience, without the need for any external speakers.’ [Also] while there is but one VideoWave (a $5,200 unit with a 46” screen), Apple will likely produce three models of its television across a range of price points.”
