Belkin ScreenCast TV Adapter streaming from a WiDi laptop near you in July
We've already seen Belkin's ScreenCast TV Adapter at its most unflattering, stripped naked for all the FCC to see, so it was a welcome change spotting the streaming media device in a more flattering light on the floor of gdgt's New York meetup. The set top box can stream 1080p video and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound from any WiDi-enabled laptop to your HDTV. It's also got dual-band wireless technology (at 2.4 and 5GHz) and can also handle your Blu-ray collection. The ScreenCast will start hitting living rooms in mid-July for $130, including a bundled HDMI cable. Stream some press releasey goodness after the break.

Wirelessly Stream Content From Laptop To TV With ScreenCast WiDi From Belkin
(Playa Vista, CA) - June 21, 2011 - Belkin today announced the launch of its ScreenCast TV Adapter for Intel® Wireless Display (WiDi) laptops. Belkin's ScreenCast wirelessly transfers personal or online content from any WiDi-enabled laptop to any HDTV with an available HDMI® port.
ScreenCast delivers full-HD 1080p resolution and Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound for a true home theater experience directly from your laptop. ScreenCast eliminates the need to crowd around a small laptop screen to share photos, stream HD videos, or watch Blu-ray movies with friends and family.
Belkin's ScreenCast connects to your HDTV via an included HDMI cable and projects content to the television with the simple push of a button on the laptop. ScreenCast uses dual-band wireless and HDMI technology, guaranteeing the best picture and sound quality for streaming your HD movies. WiDi technology also enables a second display for Intel® Wireless Display-ready computers, so you can work or surf the Internet on your laptop and your TV at the same time.
