KFA2 Announces Cable-Free Graphics Card (http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2011/01/12/kfa2-announces-cable-free-graphics-card/1)

Basically they're selling you the card with the transmitter built-in.
I'd like to see maybe a stand-along transmitter that plugs into an HDMI output and a small, portable receiver.

Finally!!

THIS RIGHT HERE!

I have been talking about how this should exist for about 3 or 4 years now. I might have to build a desktop specifically so that I can use this (I said I would never own a desktop again).

.... That is, unless I can use some other tech with a laptop to get this done.

Edit: Nevermind, this is what WiDi does.

Does anyone know how bad the compression will be with the OP's tech and how bad it is with WiDi?

According to Wikipedia:

WHDI enables uncompressed delivery of high-definition video over a wireless radio channel, allowing consumers to connect any source in the home to any display device.

it doesn't support multiple monitors though does it?

Wow. Yes I've been wishing for this for a long time. Now just give it time for the price to go down and hackers to crack the copyright protection. Oh, happy day.

I don't know. I can't find many details. It would be cool if you could buy multiple receivers for the same signal. Then again, it might not be feasible. I think the HDMI/HDCP handshake protocol is two way, and it would be tough to make that work with multiple screens.
