Wireless Monitor

Do Wireless Monitors exist? I have wireless pc remote, but my main monitor is too far away to even use properly.

Haha, not yet sadly... You'll still need a way to get power to your monitor via a cable. Basically, we'll probably see wireless video game controllers or keyboards and mouses that are self charging before we see a wireless monitor.

There are products however, that will wirelessly send the video output via USB to a hub unit that has VGA and HDMI. The only restriction you'll have is your power cable.

Are you sure you want one? It'd make over-the-shoulder viewing of your desktop (and whatever pr0n you're watching) much easier. =)

Do NOT cross the streams, Venkam!  Crossing the streams would be Bad.

Somehow I just have visions of walking between my PC and 95" 2160p display and my coffee would start to boil and my gonads begin to itch.

Yeah, you can wirelessly transfer data and such... but transferring electrons through the air? Something tells me that MUST give you cancer... or at least melt you.

Visions of Intel’s world domination plans, datora? ;x

Before anyone asks, there has been a ‘working demonstration’ already. Apparently, the marketing name for it is WiDi :S

I use my iPad as a wireless monitor. Either through DisplayPad which allows me to use it as an extra monitor or mirror the screen, or through Remoter which is a great VNC-client.

(Oh, and it goes through WiFi, which is quick enough.)

Wireless HDMi is an option, you could input the HDMI to it.

Ever heard of induction?

aint gonna be efficient, and only little power will be transmitted, for example, your appliance will consume only 50watts but the power transmitter you're using is actually using about 500watts more or less =D makes it inconvenient right? its called losses, magnetic field isnt concentrated on one spot only, it spreads like the light from a flashlight, those parts that doesnt get received are lost as mere magnetic radiation, this doesnt even include that nearby metals actually absorbs magnetic fields as eddy currents.

Intel's solution is cool, but it has some drawbacks ... one being that it's 720p max, the other is that it has that lossy compression to lower the necessary bandwidth (=> not crystal-perfect video quality).
Charging something via induction (electrostatic or magnetic), as previously stated, is something that has a very low efficiency due to the 3D nature of those fields, so you've got to keep the induction coil-thing as close as possible to the monitor, which sucks since if you wanted a fully wireless solution, you basically just moved the power wire from the monitor to the inductor. Oh, and you waste ≈5x times the energy.
Charging via a powerful LASER is also a possibility, and much more efficient (although this method has its drawbacks too).

Strapping a tractor battery to the monitor is also a possibility, my 23" screen uses about 30W max. A tractor battery is 24V and about 80Ah. Doing the math gives us a huge uptime, almost a week with a full charge for a normal PC user.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that induction is only really usable for like charging pads(Even though it "works" multiple meters away). I was just showing TMR that there is such a thing as induction.
