Hello All,
I have been searching Google for a wireless monitor solution but can't
find anything...!
Surely this must exist?

I need a monitor 17" to 19" to stand on the big table in my studio in
central London.
I need to be able to quickly move it away since I sometimes use this
table for dinners with friends.
The PC (a Shuttle) is located 5 metres away (well within the range of
bluetooth). But I don't want cables running all over the place and I
don't want to move the PC since it is hooked up to my TV, and since I am
happy with where it is stored at the minute.

I would be very grateful for advice for a wireless monitor solution.
Regards
Johanna
 
Nope.........none are available at this time. Give it a couple years or so
and it will most likely come to be.........

Video bandwidth is way too high for a wireless monitor.

Not sure I agree! However, you might want to wait a while for the
price to fall and a UK version......

Interesting. Seems likely they're doing a periodic frame capture on one end
and then sending that frame to the other because, for example, just 256
color 8 bit 640x480 at 60hz non-interlaced is 640x480x8x60=147.456mbps and
IEEE 802.11a at 54mbps, never mind overhead and encryption, can't keep up
with even that low a resolution/color depth.

The don't say anything about frame rates but do mention setting it to 'DVD
mode," what ever that does, for multimedia.

Btw, I said "video bandwidth." There are, of course, ways to get display
data over even slower comm links and things like PCAnywhere have been doing
that for quite a while.
