Wireless Monitors?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the step-in-the-right-direction dept.

antiopus writes "I didn't think it was possible anytime soon due to bandwidth considerations, but ViewSonic has announced a wireless monitor. At only 10 inches and 800x600, I don't know if it'll be replacing my CRT anytime soon, but I can certainly foresee some interesting applications for wearable/portable computing."

    Now I can pump even MORE radiation into my brain. My cell phone, pager, laptop, computer, wireless mouse/keyboard and CB radio aren't enough... Must... have... cancer...

    Sorry, I prefer to be a slut and have relationships with lots of PCs.

  3. Odd, I've seen this before someplace. by Pyrosz · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why is having a wireless monitor so hard to fathom? I'm watching a wireless "monitor" now in fact. Its called my television. Seems to get channels fine from "thin" air. These images are transmitted by a remote "base station".... they even have a high resolution model available in some places. I think that we have the tech but its not being looked at correctly. Just my thoughts.

    All I need to have is a few of these on my desk: "Damn it! Where did I put that desktop!?!?!?"
