How to Connect a Laptop to a Television

True Gadgets — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 01:09:39 +0000

There are several ways to connect your laptop to a television. And we know that you want it wireless! How far do you need it to reach? Well then quality is next question. Mac or PC device, and finally what type of television connection?

Lets start at the top. Wireless HDMI is very available. Starting with the Gefen EXT-WHDMI adapter which allows real time visually lossless HD compression. You won’t even notice quality degradation with this guy at around 30 feet. The downside? Expensive at around 750.00. But for a universal HDMI signal sender this thing has done the job and gained a solid reputation for removing wires.

The “Cables To Go TruLink Wireless USB to HDMI Kit” is another great and much more affordable option. At around 180.00 bucks this model receives the signal from a small USB device attached to your laptop or computer. It then gives your television via HDMI input your signal for display. Simple quick and correct. It also has an amazing reputation for wireless HD video.

Apple has already done its job as usual . The miniport equipped on most Macbooks allows for easy output via device. Several adapters for miniport to television, including the miniport to HDMI, VGA, DVI and DVI-I are available for under 5 dollars through Chiiper.com.

Chiiper stays true to their tag line “Really cool stuff cheaper” and offers “how to’s” as well as promotion of cheap products like this. An entire product page is dedicated to laptop to television wireless.

Centrios Wireless Optical Mouse

True Gadgets — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:49:23 +0000

I just picked up one of these over the weekend from The Source. It was on sale for $20, not a bad deal for a wireless optical mouse. My thoughts, it's nice and small and the usb stick and mouse connect with one another with no problems at all. The mouse is working perfect on the three tables we are using our laptop on so it's nice and smooth with no problems at all. We are not using a mouse pad. If you look at the front that black shiny part is where the USB stick goes when not using it so you have no fear of losing it. It just pops out when you push the silver button on top. The only draw is that it takes two AAA batteries so I am not sure how long they will last, we have rechargeables so it's not an issue. For $20, you can beat it.

MSI Wind U100

True Gadgets — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 08:12:06 +0000

It’s been almost a year since the original Asus Eee 701 appeared stateside, making traditional ultra-portables look fat with its size and weight, sending prices plunging with its $400 price tag, and triggering a landslide of imitators. In that time, many have tried, but few have succeeded in one upping Asus at its own game. The Wind is MSI’s freshman effort in the emerging subnotebook genre, but the company has managed to run with the best of them by offering a 10-inch display, a fast and efficient Intel Atom processor, and loads of storage.
