A company called Warpia on Tuesday unveiled a device intended to let you watch media from your laptop on your living room HDTV in full 1080p glory. It's called the StreamHD and it wirelessly transmits pretty much anything you want, including movies, pictures, Facebook, Hulu, and so forth.
"Our improved technology gives customers the all-access viewing they've come to expect from Warpia, along with stunning HD quality," says Marc Levaggi, VP of Marketing for Warpia. "StreamHD makes wireless home entertainment seem effortless."
All a user has to do is hook up the receiver base to their television using the included HDMI cable, and then plug the USB dongle into their notebook. Warpia says the device has a line-of-site wireless range of 30 feet, and if you have optical inputs, you can shuttle 5.1 channel surround sound as well.
The StreamHD is available now for $170.

Think this device or one like it has been covered here before. Problem is the whole line of sight. Most people don't have a computer in sight of their TV. And if they do, it's probably right next to it. No reason to use it on a laptop, as it would make more sense to save your money and hook the laptop directly up to the TV.

Even if a desktop is across the room, as in my case, it's still more for the wow factor. Why go pricey when I can spend ~$20 for an HDMI cable and get audio as well.
About the only time I could see this truly useful is some sort of conference or large event where running cables would be hazardous to the public.
