From what I read,

it's not that much fun but first you must make sure your computer is WiDi certified. If not then don't waste your time is what my reading tells me.

I don't have one of those, so I really can't tell you how in detail. But I gather if the softwares are working properly then it seem pretty simple. Have fun.

I see pauses as the link is only so many Mbps.

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Mar 4, 2015 2:21AM PST

Since the link is many factors slower than a HDMI cable, it should lag as you move a window (you may call them boxes) around the screen. To reduce that lag you might have to move to wireless HDMI which it's data rate is far higher but still far too slow for say "gaming."

Wireless HDMI has distance limitations and here we don't go over 10 feet. But with HDMI cables we've done 36 feet day in and day out. 50 foot HDMI cables seem fine too.

I'm going with no wireless off the shelf solution is going to cure this lag.
