Wireless Monitors?

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."

I always find myself needed a wireless monitor by automatic_jack · 2002-04-09 04:35 · Score: 4, Insightful

I'm an MIS Manager at a small company, and I very often find myself wishing that I had a portable wireless monitor. We run a lot of machines headless, and when they have problems, dragging a monitor over to them can be a real pain. What if all I had to do was get within range, turn on my display, and diagnose the problem? Man, that'd be sweet.

- my monitor hung up on my wall
- my mouse in my hand
- my keyboard in my lap
- my Internet connection in the kitchen
- my DivX movies on my television
- my MP3 receiver in my entertainment center
- all controlled by my PC in the bedroom
...of course, in a house where we can't even keep the cordless phone on its recharger for more than five minutes and stash the remote control in a new location every day, this will probably be less of a boon than some people think.
