$200ish - same thing. ]]>Jan 4th 2010 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/
Me too. I'm wondering if hooking one of these up to one of those Dell touchscreen monitors would get me what I'm after...]]>Jan 4th 2010 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/
A slingcatcher does this and more for $200.]]>Jan 4th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/Jan 5th 2010 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/Jan 4th 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/
That's probably better thinking if you think about it. Why beam the video when you can just beam the control of the computer. I guess it would have it's uses though to beam the video, especially for the business traveler I guess. I would think that the number of people who actually NEED this is far fewer than the number of people who would just want it because they want it.]]>Jan 4th 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/
This would end up working for me because I recently purchased a new tv and for some reason it does not have a VGA port. I have a tx2000z and if you dont know it has a crappy graphics card that only does vga out and s-video out so this would allow me to watch youtube on my tv again.

tl;dr - USB to HDMI will let me use a tv as a monitor again]]>Jan 4th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/I do the same. I use a Logitech bluetooth keyboard. While it is marketed for the PS3, it works fine with my laptop. (I've not had the need to use it with my PS3, but it's there if I need it.)

I think this device is nice though, as long as it allows the HDTV to go with it's native resolution and not match the PC, but unless it's cheaper than the $60 you can pick up the Logitech keyboard and go that route. In the end the desktop/laptop has to go somewhere.]]>Jan 4th 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/that's exactly the same stuff I use]]>Jan 4th 2010 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/So, I'm working with a Mac. How do you do that?]]>Mar 24th 2010 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/

Buy a real computer.

But then I've also got the input problem with needing a wireless mouse/keyboard that would cover that distance as well.]]>Jan 4th 2010 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/*Loves HDMI*]]>Jan 4th 2010 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/

As a clarification, the HDMI supports both audio and video, and the VGA+3.5mm audio is an optional way to connect a/v into the HDTV. The product does supports MAC platforms and we anticipate it will sell for under $200. As for performance, our audio/video synch is very good and there is no observed latency from our chipset. There may be other factors such as network traffic or the CPU that may affect the synchronization with the PC, but you can use it in extended mode instead if this bothers you.

Compared to the Atlona/Warpia, our solution is easier to install, has better audio/video support, supports the MAC and meets regulatory requirements so can be shipped Worldwide.]]>Jan 6th 2010 2:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/Is it on sale now and where can I get it?]]>Mar 24th 2010 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/alereon-announces-wireless-usb-nowire-laptop-to-hdtv-extender/Mar 24th 2010 5:38PM
