Will this allow me to wirelesly stream content from my laptop to my HDTV? For example, can I play a video on my computer and have it play on my HDTV?

We tried and it worked. We were using a Dell E6410 and a Sharp 50inch HDTV on the other end. Audio was ok (just a very tiny bit of delay). However, we later switched to Giffen Technology and we can usethe Giffen for Mac and Windows without any drivers installation. If Windows is all you need then this is economical. If you dont want to deal with drivers and/or want to connect a mac at a later date, try Giffen.

Is right, you can play any FullHD video from your Laptop, even you can play too from Android phone if it supports Miracast or WIDI.

In most cases yes it will work. However it is not compatible with all graphics cards and would not display my image

I had many problem with this item which Actiontec COULD NOT help resolve it. I will tell you DO NOT buy it.

I actually returned mine because the videos were choppy. I had wanted to do the same thing. I watched one movie that worked smoothly, and I could never get it to work again. However, the firmware may have been updated since then and work better.

You can view the video over your local area network (thru a computer on your LAN) but if you were hoping to plug a VGA or HDMI cable into the box, it will not display the video feed. Also, if you get this device, make sure to look on ubiquiti's website and learn how to update the software. It's easy, you just need to SSH into the box and run some commands.

Yes, provided that your laptop has to hdmi port, you can hook it up to the hdmi port on your hdtv and have the luxury of having a larger screen to watch on.

I do not have the cable attached from PC to TV. I have my Cable set up to stream from modem to wifi to tv or modem to pc. I believe the use of HDMI cable from pc to tv would work and have done from a laptop. Hope this helps.

Don't know, never tried this. My understanding is that the HDMI port to computer or TV is for video playback only.

I hooked a HP Pavilion laptop up to my HDTV (HDMI input) as well as a Mac Mini computer... So, if your computer has a VGA output and you are going in to HDMI, you will be fine. Again, the audio cord is kinda short, so I had to buy a cheap extender to make it reach my headphone jack... but that wasn't a deal breaker for me.

Yes it can bitstream all HD audio formats over HDMI to a receiver (This was the main reason I bought it). I stream all my content from a NAS including BD rips and mkvs so there is no issue there.

You can plug a laptop into your HDTV to view the HD video. If you don't have an HDTV, why bother with taking 720p video?

The intent is to send a wireless message on your Laptop to the receiver (the larger photo) and that is hard wired to your TV, which has a soft switch for a choice between inputs. I sent it back. My recollection is (maybe wrong) but the socket is not HDMI on the receiver, but regardless I could not make it work. Another gadget will connect your laptop HDMI to your TV HDMI but (for me) that is a 20 foot cable across the floor and I do not want that, Good luck. If you find a solution please write again.

B. Fisher is correct. I mean, you can hook your laptop up to it via HDMI, but you will not be able to get any internet access.

If you have HDMI ports on both your laptop and TV it will work.It plays both video and audio with no problems.I always hook up my laptop to my TV to watch TV shows that I miss because of working nights.

TV HDMI are normally "input" not "output" so probably not. It will take a laptop HDMI out to TV's PC (VGA) in just fine.

Yes, If you hdtv have audio conector. Or other good option is buy hdmi cable and conect your pc or laptop to your hdtv.

It does have the ability if your computer does, I connect my laptop with the hdmi and tv shows what is on my computer. Does just fine.

My educated guess is that this unit might solve the problem, but my question is as follows: Will a hardwired HDMI cable connect your laptop to the TV complete with audio and video and without any other connections between the laptop and TV? If the hardwired HDMI will carry both audio and video, then this unit will probably function fine.
