Jeff Matthews Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 One for the techies: What is a neat and cheap way to have my TV wirelessly be my laptop monitor? Windows 8.1. I am not talking about streaming videos; I am talking about having the TV be my monitor. Thanks for suggestions. Quote

Jeff Matthews Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks, Chris. Which one would you recommend? Quote
Chris A Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Too many choices that I haven't yet tried or read a review on. I did find this one, however: http://www.tested.com/tech/set-top-boxes/458922-best-wireless-hdmi-video-transmitter-today/ Quote

Chris A Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I'd recommend a lower cost device, but all the reviews that I've read on less expensive wireless HDMI devices seem to have issues with lack of power, which translates into the maximum distance that the two devices can be separated. Some less expensive ones apparently have issues starting at 5-6 feet (2 metres) separation distance. Note that there will be ~0.5 second delay using HDMI from the response that you can see from your laptop monitor. Edited July 30, 2014 by Chris A Quote
