    Hello,

    I would like to purchase HDMI wireless adapter which allows me to stream video content in Full HD 1080P quality from my notebook to LCD wirelessly (distance about 20 feet).

    I found couple devices but it seems like some of them cannot stream withourt artifacts at this distance (15-20 feet). Can you please suggest me such devices available up to ~$250 range?

    Thanks!

    What wireless card and CPU in your computer? Did you already look at those Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) things?

    Where were you able to find out that some devices had artifacts from a certain distance?

    Alternative Option: Wireless Keyboard & Mouse and hook the notebook up directly.

    This will cost less and net you less problems (and quality loss) 1080P is hard to stream. Even a wireless N network may not keep up without issue depending on the bitrate of the content.

    I am not sure if dedicated hdmi wireless devices fare much better, considering you already found reports of issues in quality and range limitations I am thinking that they do not.
