    I got my dv7tse last week and discovered it had Intel Wireless display capability. Went to Best Buy and bought the Netgear Push2tv adapter on sale for $29.99 (normally $99.99).

    Installation was quick and it works like a champ. Anything on my laptop screen is displayed on my TV @ 720P.

    I have one question........I've read where some people use Intel Wireless Display in an "extended desptop" mode. They can stream a movie on the TV while they're using the laptop screen for something else.

    How do they do this?

    I would imagine you do it the same way as if the monitor was connected physically? So wither Fn F4 or from Windows Mobility Center.

    Well, went back and tried again doing it the standard way like you suggested and what do you know, IT WORKED! Guess I missed a step the first time.

    This WIDI is great, especially if you can get the TV adapter on sale for $29.99 like I did.
