Good for presentations

2008-04-19
As far as a presentation device, it worked great. I could display IE, Media Player without any issues. As a presentation goes, the fact that it changes the sound output works well since it will keep your laptop from distracting as a small sound source.

I was hoping to use it as a Media Extender(which it isn't). There were two limitations in this goal. 1, Media Center 2005 is not supported to be displayed by this. 2, It requires the output of sound to be it instead of your host PC's speakers. Both of these should not be a problem for you if you are looking for something to make it possible to hook into a projector you cannot stand next to.

Wireless Monitor - Works Great!

Works just as advertised. The only drawback is the screen resolution limitation. I have this connected to a 52" Plasma and is works great.

Not recommended

2008-03-03
There is setup required on the adapter and every laptop trying to connect to it. The adapter becomes an access point on the network and a laptop connects to it. Unfortunately, it takes precedent over any other access point in the vicinity (setting it to a different channel made no difference.) This becomes problematic when used with our mobile lab which has thirty laptops connecting to the network through one access point. I also could not get it to work with encryption.

Affordable wireless presentation adaptor

2008-01-26
This is a great product. I bought one to test. The set up included: projector, laptop, computer speakers with a subwoofer. Verdict: Worked flawlessly. So easy to set up. You can get running in under a minute. It is small and portable. It can even sync with the 52" TV monitor. I'm going to order another two more. Highly recommended.

Good for presentation but not as add'l screen

2007-11-30
This product works well, although it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. It will hook up to a video monitor wirelessly, but:
It needs a power supply for the unit.
It needs a wireless network card on the broadcasting pc/laptop.
It shuts down any other network access wireless or wired which means no network or internet access.(you can get around this by connecting the unit to the network, but the reason I wanted it was to avoid running cables in the first place)
