The recent trend in consumer technology over the past couple years has been towards wireless technology. A good wireless mouse can be purchased for under $ 20, wireless keyboards for under 30$ most of the newly released stand alone printers and Multi Function Devices have built in wireless capability. When buying new peripheral equipment for your computer it is almost expected for the device to have wireless capability built in. If you also consider the recent surge of bluetooth devices such as wireless headsets and the fact that many home internet users have a wireless network of their own the trend towards wireless becomes fairly clear.

The Benefits of wireless technology are fairly obvious, some examples are:

- Avoid cluttering up your desk with cables for your growing number of electronic devices - No need to spend the effort running wiring through walls, floors and around obstacles - Freedom to move around with your device as you please - Rechargable batteries mean that you don't need to keep purchasing new ones - Devices are competitively priced compared to wired counterparts

So with the growing popularity of wireless mice, keyboards, printers, phones, scanners, etc have you ever wondered why we dont yet have a wireless monitor on the market? There would almost certainly be a large consumer demand for such a product if it were to be released.

The answer is the sheer amount of information that needs to be transferred from computer to monitor in order to display properly, especially if that monitor is in high definition. The bandwidth required is much more than that of what a wireless keyboard requires or even a bluetooth headset. Right now the major manufactorers yet to create a computer monitor with built in wireless capability although transmission rates have started to approach the speed required for a wireless monitor.

In the meantime, if you are dead set on getting a wireless moni tor there are a few adaptors on the market that might do the job. There are several VGA to usb wireless adaptors that you can simple plug in to your devices in order to support wireless connectivity. They generally work fairly well but if viewing full screen video on the monitor sometimes the quality can deteriorate due to bandwidth issues. A wireless VGA to USB adaptor can be purchased through amazon or many other electronics stores.

Answer by Coralicious
There might be a way of making it work, but it sounds expensive. Sending video feed through the air might even require some sort of FCC license

Answer by danuitti
Nope, you can INVENT the thing. While you can access your computer through another computer, using VPN technology, you probably could not do this without a person on the other computer from knowing it. You might as well get a nanny-cam and watch. But you can also create a limited account, that has limited access to computer usage.

What you're talking about is often called a Tablet PC

Answer by Bart
First off you have to know that he data sent by your computer to your monitor is huge so it requires more bandwidth than say a mouse or a keyboard. That said, some wireless monitors exists; for instance those small monitors that get data from a camera (for security or just for parents to keep an eye on the baby's bedroom) but those don't have a high resolution/refresh rate. A wireless monitor for a real computer would require much more bandwidth to keep the same quality. I've searched around and saw a few wireless monitors but they were special (one that is only 7" for instance and decent quality but definitely not what you're looking for) You can see another wireless monitor here: http://www.intcomex.com/home.cfm?centralrecnoLOG=14057&levelLOG=public.products3 but its not what you seek either. I think you will have to wait to find the monitor you need because either its not avaible yet or it is but only in very specific fields (security, medical). If you have time you can browse the websites of the main company in that field. Good luck.

Answer by Nientech
Yes, there are wireless monitors out there . . . but for your purpose, I don't think it would be a feasable purchase for you. Normally there is a minimum refresh rate not only to give you your desktop you are used to seeing, but for other applications and games as well. There isn't a wireless monitor out there yet that can support the refresh rate that is needed just to operate your computer in the most basic fashion. Get a dumb terminal with network boot capability. This way you would have all the ability of the server giving the boot commands and all of the applications availible on it (if configured properly) yet still have the monitor refresh rate controlled by the terminal you are working on vice trying to get the rate you need transmitted wirelessly. Not a cheap solution, but a solution none the less.
