    Hi All,

    Hopefully anyone with any experience with Intel Wireless Display can answer my questions. I am considering purchasing a Netgear WiDi kit, capable of displaying 1080P content. The main reason I want to buy this is so I can play my PC games using my HDTV, but I remember reading in these forums here a while back that it can't do this because it would use the Intel HD graphics and not the Radeon. I have been unable to get back to that original forum thread (darn search function), so I wanted to ask if anyone can confirm this? I was under the impression that the dv6t-6100 was capable of using both the integrated and discrete graphics at the same time - wouldn't this mean we could use the Intel WiDi while using the Radeon to run the PC games simultaneously?

    I hope someone has experience with this! Thanks all =)

    What kind of games are you playing? There's a lag between what is displayed on the laptop screen and what is displayed on the TV. Not a full second, but it would be enough to make playing a FPS game nearly impossible.

    I would be playing a little bit of everything. I guess it's not worth it then if there's a lag
