While this is an excellent idea, after a quick use of the free trial I found the service impractical for watching streaming video. Now I don't have the best internet connection, nor the best router (Belkin wireless N), but I'm only about 10 feet from the router and my PS3 is wired to it directly. I suppose it might be significant to note that my laptop's wireless adapter is only a wireless-g, you might get better results with a wireless-n adapter. In using Display Share to watch an episode of "Family Guy" on Hulu, and a couple random videos from Youtube, I experienced consistent lag which made videos unwatchable. Additionally, when the video from Display Share lagged too far behind, it would skip ahead forwarding through parts of the video to catch up, that is completely unacceptable when trying to watch a video. Also the options available for the software are very limited. The only available options are to turn off the picture or audio independently, or to adjust the aspect ratio. An excellent idea in theory, but didn't work so well in practice. At least for me. One good side, the software was very easy to start using. Just open the program, turn on the PS3, and it should immediately recognize Display Share as a media server.

just a note, the last paragraph of the article implies that Sharp is giving away 43 TVs, while the first line says that they're giving away 26 TVs. 26 is the height of the tree that those 43 TVs make in feet.
