WiDi, Wireless Display. This is the hassle free sharing of laptop content to your TV, wirelessly! This technology is being served by Intel for their latest processors, the Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7.
New laptops for 2010 which feature these processors from Intel and the Intel Wireless Display, one can stream the contents of the laptop to the TV. You can stream video, music, and photos clearly. You can also stream contents from network drives, or direct from any browsers. The set up is an adapter to the TV with HDMI or A/V out and a compatible laptop with Wireless Display, viola, laptop now streams to the TV. This is way easier than setting up DLNA servers, see my previous post.
