WEP is Way outta date, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would try to secure anything with that. This, however, is only a followup to bluetooth. The monitor idea is just veryvery flawed.

a single PAL Standard Def signal, will have to be:
800*600(pixels)*24 (bit color) * 25 (fps) = 288mbps
add to that audio, encryption, synch, and overhead, and you’ll be close to 300mbps.

now, considering that only 802.11n, which isn’t yet certified can transmit 200-500mbps,
it must use 802.11g – a 54mbps solution.

so this means massive compression – 6 times at the MINIMUM, for standard def content. so it means lots of color loss and artifacts, and of course LAG.

now, for HD…
even the low end 720p is
1280*720*24*60 = 1327.1 mbps, or 1.33 gbps
and just for kicks
high end HDTV
1920*1080*24*60 = 2985.99 mbps or 2.99 gbps

so you see, for HDTV, it will be YEARS for it to be available.

beside that there is a law problem, transmitting television data (just for example) would be pirate transmitting and is against the law (at least in austria)

So there is Dual-DVI with 10Gbps. Now how the hell they want to fit it in USB2 with transfer rate way below 480Mbps ? DVI has 5Gbps transfer rate, and today its not enough.

If your ideas rock so hard why dont you submit em to a company rather than blowing your load of ideas on us? phishybongwaters, your ideas are gay.

Windows only supports 10 displays tho, but Vista could be different. Vista probably goes to 11. (eh hum spinaltap) VGA is dead tho peeps, buy a videocard that cost more than 10$ and you won't see a hint of a vga port, you get DVI or Dual DVI. Then a gay little DVI to VGA converter if you are a sucker like me with a CRT oldass monitor. worried about spying? Do you know anything about wireless technology? It would be as secure as any wireless connection can be. Anyways you can spy on other peoples monitors right now, alot of companies use software like vnc and others to actively monitor screens, you'd be amazed. Great idea but more than likely will suck. Screw usb. Make it a wireless receiver that plugs into your DVI (you can power monitors from DVIa - Macs) Transmitter on the monitor, new option in the onscreen display for setting up the wireless connection and putting an encryption key on it. Kickass.

The effect this has on refresh rates is not very pleasing. DVI has got 24 leads for a reason... I would be a royal pain to do anything else but office work on a video connection over 4 leads + gnd.

I like the idea of having a wireless monitor/TV (not for power mind you but for input). With this you could in theory stream your HDTV to your computer monitor or your computer to your plasma in the living room. Multiple monitors without multiple video cards. The possibilities... There will always be a power cord tho cause who the hell wants to recharge a monitor every 15minutes. XD Battery technology has a LOONG way to go. This is a great concept.
