Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) enables a user to project a notebook PC’s display to a TV wirelessly. The full desktop, including media and productivity applications, are captured and sent to the TV in full HD resolution, using a dedicated WiFi (802.11n) connection.
This is great for watching movies or sharing documents or web pages with lots of people. You no longer have to crowd around a small screen!
The Intel WiDi Widget is an app for your Intel WiDi-enabled PC that allows you to place any Windows program on the HDTV, with a single click. With the Intel WiDi Widget, you can easily watch a movie on Netflix or Youtube on the HDTV while you browse the web or check your email on your laptop.
