Wireless PC to TV

Anyone use either of these two products? (From the looks it appears they are the same device with two different names.)

Warpia:
Amazon.com: Warpia Wireless USB PC to TV/Projector Display Adapter Kit (Audio through Computer): Electronics

EZAIR:
Connect PC to TV wirelessly with EZAIR

Wondering if they do an ok job, and how the program would look on a 1080 screen since they both transmit in 720 mode only.

 

Ezair states: Crisp Audio/Video Streaming. I assumed it was via the HDMI or possibly through the audio post on the unit.

But that WD Live Hub sure looks interesting.

Looking to purchase a Sony EX710, with wireless internet connection so I can watch Netflix and some other programs via the internet.

However, would also like to view some video content from my HP Laptop to the TV also. One of those is Hulu, which does not seem to be available via the internet TV. Can get blockbuster and netflix, but some items appear to be only available via an actual computer (i.e., Hulu).

With my weird work schedule, which can change from day to night, and I'm on 24/7 emergency call, I can end up being gone for days. I currently rely on Hulu for TV programs, and when I can, Netflix for movies. I also have a Phillips HD DVD recorder for TV programs, but since I have to set that device to record onto the HD, that is not always possible; thus the reliance on Hulu for some programs. Hulu is good on my 17" LED laptop, but would prefer to watch on the new TV when I get it.

What I was looking to do was with the Sony TV get some internet viewing, but wanted to link programs like Hulu from the laptop to the TV.

Looking at the WD site, a bit confused on this Hub.
Can you program it to record TV programs and record to the HD?

I did note it can be connected via a wireless adapter (extra price) for internet connectivity; plus there is an optional power line setup to run internet via the power lines in the house (very interesting.)


The laptop does have an HDMI port, runs Windows 7-64.

Internet if via a D-link N-Router.

Another option to look at. Thanks....dancedroid

 

TV is pretty much decided. I have looked quite a bit at Samsung, Vizio, LG, Toshiba and a few others, and my biggest problem with all is fast moving sports; especially NASCAR. All have a slight blur; except for the Sony's I have reviewed. This is on the mid-range price TVs. The super high end are great in any manufacturer I looked at, but not paying that much for a TV.

I would consider a Plasma, but the room where the TV is going to be situated has a lot of sunlight and Plasma's are terrible with reflection vs. the newer LED LCD TVs.

I'll be getting one in the next week or so. I'll actually be working the Super Bowl so no time to do any shopping. But when I get home I want to watch it on a big screen.:icon_ banana:


If, as you say, Hulu starts to appear on the internet TV, then that changes everything. (Where did you hear that Hulu will be coming to Internet TV?) I won't need one of those boxes. Other than Hulu and on occasion a TV program not on Hulu, I really have no need to connect the TV to the computer. But as you say, if I did, I can always get a long HDMI cable for those once every few months I want to watch something from the computer.

What I really need is a nice quiet, 9-5 office job.

Thanks for all the info and suggestions....

 

Thanks for the link, very interesting.

As for the TVs, I pay no attention to what a store has, or what a salesman says. But I also pay no attention to reviews on Amazon or other sites.

I pay more attention to sites that actually test products with testing equipment designed for the product being tested.

It can get confusing and not all actual TV models are tested. So you have to hope in some cases that a 32" in a model will be at least close to the test done on a 42" of the same model. Usually, model to model is close if not the same.

You have to also look for the features you like the best, and then compromise. Most of the sites I have viewed the past month show Sony has excellent motion control with little artifacts, but it depends on the model. Which is true of any TV.

Have come across quite a few reviews that state the motion on the 710 is great (in the standard mode). The 710 is hit on the side angle viewing, but that won't affect me; just my guests. One review stated in the 55" TV there was some motion artifacts, but they pretty much start to disappear as the screen size reduces.

But thanks for the info on Hulu and for that WD hub. Have to admit it adds some more options, and I might decided to get the Hub and forget about getting a TV with internet connectivity. Had already thought about just getting a Blu Ray with the internet vs. a TV.

Just too many options and now there are more. Might have to wait another week to figure this all out.

Again, your info has been very helpful, if not adding more time and thought to my TV purchase.

 

I don't know whether to thank you or swear at you.:biggrin:

I actually went to Colorado yesterday and looked at some TVs. And I was impressed with the Vizio with the built in Wi-Fi and the price was not bad, compared to others. One thing I really liked was the front facing speakers vs. those side speakers on other TVs.

Even though I use a surround sound system for movies, for normal viewing such as the news, weather channel, History channel, etc., I use the TV speakers, and those side facing speakers are not as good as front facing.

So, back to the drawing boards to research this.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions. One problem I have noted is the technology is expanding so fast, I'm having a hard time keeping up.:icon_eek:
