1277532 2012-05-28 09:41:00 Will WiDi use my broadband? And if so how much? stratex5 (16685)
1277533 2012-05-28 09:51:00 WiDi only uses your local network so it wouldn't affect monthly allowance. But it could affect other simultaneous uses of the local network

I don't have any personal experience of WiDi. I was hoping somebody else would take the plunge!

(Our daughter bought a 11.6" netbook in Jan - HP Pavilion DM1_4015TU - and to my surprise it has WiDi. She could make use of this, but I want to know about the quality before recommending it)

1277534 2012-05-28 09:57:00 It will require a special monitor wont it?Or does it just need the reciever stratex5 (16685)
1277535 2012-05-28 11:07:00 Special receiving hardware, the hardware will output standard video signals to the monitor. I'm guessing it will support VGA/HDMI off the block, maybe Composite?


Google for more info

imo easier to get CAT5/VGA. Will work with current and new hardware and is cheaper.

Don't bother with VGA unless your TV or computer doesn't have HDMI. You can get powered adaptors to run HDMI over CAT5/6. I think Jaycar sells them.
