Hi guys,

I've been looking for a good solution to stream video and audio wirelessly (through USB interface or HDMI) from a laptop to a living room TV, ideally at 1080P resolution (which is the native res of the TV), which would likely require something that can handle a lot of banswidth.
Just basically reflect what is on the laptop's screen and sound.
Anyone here done this with good results? I know of some HDMI wireless transmitters, but I was looking for something that is less bulky / with less wiring on the laptop end (dongle?).

I've done multiple installs of PS3's and Popcorn Hours and both have difficulties with wireless 720p/1080p streaming. Bandwidth is not an issue, it's the consistency/latency of the transmission which causes problems. Other threads in this forum say the same thing.

If your laptop has an HDMI port, you could buy a wireless HDMI transmitter that would do what you want. These operate on a very high frequency and can even do 1080p without dropping frames.

(Edit: helps if I read the first post fully - sadly I think that's about the only way to wirelessly transmit a laptop's display to your TV.

I was considering something like this: http://promos.asus.com/US/Newsletter2010/System_Aug10/Stories/Lead_Story.html but wanted to know if there was something less bulky with a dongle instead of having to connect to an HDMI transmitter

I have a 50" Samsung Plasma TV to which I have attached the Samsung wireless USB Device(dongle) With the Wiselink Pro software on my laptop I can get video, audio and photos wirelessly to the TV from the laptop.......not HD though although tv is 1080p..............I need no other media device!

OK that's nice for you Rob but the TV I'm talking about is a Sony, and HD res is a must to run windows effectively from a seating distance.
