Re: wireless connection to a TV.

The OP didn't state the use case. A long cable would do in a pinch, but
certainly wouldn't serve as a long-term solution in most cases. Long cable
still have their use case, though. Think about using a long cable to get
from a PC to a ceiling-mounted projector.

BTW, while I'm a fan of the wall mounts, I'm not a fan of mounting the TV
up high (like in over the fireplace). Seems like even if you tilted the
screen down it would be uncomfortable to watch (neck strain) from a seated
position for very long.

Not that I'm into it, but I suppose people who have had their Interior

and had their electrician/carpenter carefully put cable and/or lan
connection to the monitor,
might cringe with some hdmi cable stringing down the wall to either
directly to the laptop or to some hdmi-to-wireless converter on a coffee
table shoved underneath it.

Is there a better solution?

Intel created a standard called WiDi. See

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-wireless-display.html
.
Some laptops already include it, but you'll almost certainly need a
receiver box on the TV.

For HD DVR-to-TV via wireless, I'm looking forward to Dish Network's

You can, BTW, get HDMI cables that length:

I want a large TV screen to be located remotely (say, 50 feet) from

the

laptop that is providing the video feed. This seems a common need,

and

probably easily done, but I can not figure out what is needed and how

to

do it.

Any suggestions, links, how-tos, and ideas are totally welcome.

Thank you.
