    Hello fellow m17x r2 owners! I was using my wife's HP Dv7 earlier and noticed it had the ability to transfer the desktop to a compatible monitor wirelessly. Now, i got to thinking and was wondering IF its possible to use my R2 screen as the wireless display. For instance, is there a program out there that can enable me to use my beautiful R G B LED as a wireless display? I just keep seeing the potential of this machine and thought it could go a step further :D

    I doubt it. I think you need those special chips that are optimized for wireless display. The reason is, your internet might be bottleneck to have smooth flow of signals. Think about remote desktop!

    But I can be wrong, but at the same time I highly doubt it can happen. sorry for the negative comment.
