Stream to TV Wirelessly – using TV as an External Device (as a Second Monitor)

[Angelo Lorenzo]

You have latency issues because USB has a buffer latency of 20+ milliseconds and you also have to deal with processing and conversion latencies on the computer and receiver, respectively.

If you have an HDMI port on your laptop, I would suggest a wireless HDMI to HDMI solution… a little more expensive but lag is cut down quite a bit. $250-$400 is reasonable.

Can you recommend some lag-less real-time no-latency instant HDMI-HDMI wireless solution for 200-300$?

I spoke to my friend who use to do home A/V installations, and he recommends none of them. While he agrees that HDMI->HDMI over wireless is better than USB -> HDMI, he doesn’t feel the quality/price/convenience beats using an HDMI cable.

I’d wait for someone to speak with personal experience before recommending a brand/model.

Thanks for clarifying

I have googled for Wireless HDMI-HDMI latency compared to 20+ milliseconds on USB and have found a statement:
“Wireless HDMI technologies have finally come of age. Though there are two camps currently in the market (Intel’s WiDi and WHDI), the bottom line is lag-free full HD 1080p wireless HDMI video/audio transmission is now a reality. This demo of the Asus WiCast and the briteView HDelight wireless HDMI transmitter kits, shows the technology in action and its impressive actually. Both of these WHDI-based kits utilize the same family of Amimon WHDI transmitter and receiver chipsets. The technology is capable of full 1080p HD video and Dolby Digital surround sound audio transmissions, over distances of up to 30 feet with less than a millisecond of latency.”

so, “less than a millisecond of latency” with Intel’s WiDi and WHDI
How about brite-View Air SyncHD (BV-2322) Uncompressed 1080p Video/ Audio Wireless Transmission Kit with less than 1 ms latency for 190$? Peoples on Amazon report issues with Routers working on 5 Ghz.
