Setting up Intel's Wireless Display
One of the CES announcements we were most excited about, at least in theory, was Intel's Wireless Display technology. This combination of hardware and software would allow you to wirelessly stream whatever was on your laptop display to a nearby plasma or LCD TV.
This is the Netgear Push2TV adaptor that comes bundled with the first wave of Intel WiDi laptops. It connects to your TV via HDMI or composite cables.
Turning on the set and selecting the appropriate input, the screen displayed a message that read, "Ready for connection. To get started, launch Intel Wireless Display on your computer."

There are just a handful of basic properties you can adjust.
The screen size adjustment makes the entire image larger or smaller, so if your desktop doesn't have the same exact aspect ratio as your laptop, it won't line up perfectly.

Here's a clip from a 720p movie trailer, streaming from the laptop to the TV.
