Wireless Monitor
There are so many new things coming out which are really great but the consumer doesn’t recognize them. One of them is the Wireless Monitor. They are really the next step to clear up your office and enjoy a complete new way of office management. Here you will find everything you have to know about them. The pros and the cons of a Wireless Monitor. So let’s jump right into the content below.
Wireless Monitor? I have never heard of it
Well, the wireless technology is nothing new and almost everybody uses it so far. There are many things like keyboards, mouses, headsets, microphones, and many many more … But monitors are quite new in this sector. Why?
To understand this you have to know how the wireless technology works.
Wireless is not a technology. It is just a word to describe. There are radio waves which transmit the signal of the sender to the receiver. The signal contains the information the sender wants to send. Nothing really special. It is based on the same technology your radio uses.
So why are Wireless Monitors so new when we use the technology for years?
A radio, keyboard or even a mouse just have to send a small amount of information. What does a keyboard send? There is only a button and it just sends if the button got hit or not. A mouse sends only her position. So what does a Wireless Monitor receive? It receives a graphical information. The signal has to be transmitted constantly because you won’t be happy when your screen would be dark for a second. So the mass of information is what made it hard to develop a receiver and a sender which can generate and receive this mass of information. Finally a few years ago the first Wireless Monitor Adapter was on the market. But it was not so good. You could only use a resolution of 640×480. Today it can be used like a normal monitor.
What are the pros of a Wireless Monitor?
Well. What are the pros of all wireless devices? Of course they are wireless. You can clean up your office. OK, you may think that your monitor’s cable isn’t right on your desk so you don’t see it at all. Yeah that’s true. This is more for people who like it extravagant and want to be one step ahead of all the others. Imagine your pc is inside your office and after a hard day you would like to surf through the internet but you want to sit on your comfortable couch. What are the possibilities? Maybe you have a notebook. But what to do when you haven’t? With a Wireless Monitor you can have your screen wherever you want. Just pick it up and place it somewhere else. You would like to watch your favorite show on a stream website like youtube while cooking? No problem. Just place your screen in the kitchen. It doesn’t matter where you computer is.
If you are a notebook user here is another pro
Notebooks are quite cool and almost everybody has one. But what is it that you miss? A big wide screen with beautiful colors. You can have it when you get a Wireless Monitor Adapter. It is easy as it sounds. Just come home, connect the transmitter to you USB port and enjoy surfing through the net on your big screen instead on the small notebook one.
What do I need if I want to get one?
That’s the funny point. Actually you can choose between 2 different systems:
- A wireless adapter built into your new Wireless Monitor
- An external Wireless Adapter Set
A Wireless Monitor has an implemented receiver. And there is another part, the transmitter. It looks like an USB stick. Just connect it with either the VGA port or the USB port. This depends on the transmitter type. And then the auto-plug-in part will do the rest and you can enjoy.
Another way is to upgrade your current screen with an external Wireless Monitor Adapter Set. This is compatible with almost all screens that have a VGA port (this is the standard port for a computer monitor). The transmitter is connected the same way as above. The second part of this set is the receiver. It gets connected to the VGA port of the monitor. Right where your old cable was in. And again the auto-plug-in will do it to enjoy.
Use multiple screens with only one pc and without cables
Are you a hard core gamer that prefers multiboxing or are you a business men who needs to work at several projects at the same time? The solution for you is a Wireless Monitor. You can place it wherever you want to. You can mount it to your wall one monitor to the left one above the other. Build your own multiple screen office. And the best is you won’t need any cables for all the screens. The new Wireless Monitor technology can handle up to 6 monitors at the same time.
Connect your HDTV without even one cable
Do you use your computer as a media player to play the latest Blue-Rays? But you can’t watch them on your big wide screen HDTV because your computer is in another room? That’s not a big deal when you got a Wireless Monitor Adapter. Connect your HDTV in your living room with the pc in the office and enjoy a new entertainment program.
But there is still a little con
Well, what do you think when you hear about a Wireless Monitor? Yeah the point is there is no cable. But you forgot one thing. How about the energy? Does the screen have an battery? In fact there is no battery and what is the conclusion? You still need a power cable to you monitor. Well this not a big con but Wireless Monitors aren’t full wireless.
