Anyway, you can already do what you want. Just use VNC. It's not good enough for gaming or video watching, but you can still do all your work on it, and over the internet too, no less.]]>Jan 15th 2007 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/
This was done about 5 years ago or more called "Smart Displays" based on WinCE. Philips had the DesXcape (ebay and tigerdirect had them for $700) that was exactly what you describe separate keyboard and monitor that could be used on a dock as a primary or secondary monitor (limitations were it was RDP dependent and couldn't stream video since RDP lacks decent video capabilities). Viewsonic still has them for sale. only keyboard is onscreen. It was a flop... too expensive. Reviewers said you could buy a laptop for a bit more that did more. But those that actually used it said that once it was setup it was a great experience of being able to not be tied to a desktop or laptop to surf the web, email, write documents (touchscreen). DesXcape was available only in 802.11B , however, viewsonics come in A/B/G models.

Definitely something that WILL make a comeback due to home automation in the future and hopefully with better specs.]]>Jan 16th 2007 8:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/
Wooo way to catch up to old technology!

1280 x 1024 x 32bits x 60Hz = 2516582400 bits/second or 2.4 Gbit/s

USB 2.0 are not only capable to transmit 400 Mbit/s???

Something is not clear on this technology...]]>Jan 15th 2007 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/
Surely electricity can't be transmitted wirelessly!]]>Jan 15th 2007 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/

It actually only says "Up to 32-bit color" on their website, although they do claim to support "2.0 megapixel" displays, which is 2Mpx x 8bits x 60Hz = 960 Mbps at the very least.

However, they do boast another feature, called "DisplayLink lossless decompression engine", which would indicate guaranteed lag as the system continuously compresses & decompresses the signal.

My guess, fwiw: No 32-bit colour support for higher resolutions, and the lag is clearly noticeable for gaming.]]>Jan 15th 2007 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/Jan 15th 2007 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/displaylink-cuts-your-monitors-cord-utilizes-wireless-usb/Jan 15th 2007 5:01PM
