    Is there any good way to use a TV as a remote monitor to PC wirelessly? My PC is in another room, about 50-60 feet away from my HDTV. All i want to do is be able to surf the internet, and watch tv shows from network sites on my TV.

    I already have a Wii for Netflix, but for the shows not on netflix that I can access through a particular network's site, it would be nice to not have to run a 50-60' HDMI lol.

    I was looking at this: http://www.veebeam.com/

    Anyone have any experience with that, or something else that would be better?

    By the time you buy more equipment to run more wireless you could have dont it right and build or buy a PC for your TV monitor.

    Dam. I know my friend has one set up to read media from an external HD and display to TV, but that's still not a full up desktop that I'm looking for :(

    Well, just got my wife a new laptop (thank you black friday), that'll be easy to just HDMI up to the TV and use for now I guess :D
