Ok, I'm not up on all the very latest technology, but we got two HDTV's
for the holiday.

One is a LN52B750 and the other a LN46B650.

Both have awesome pictures, even though our HDTV install isnt until Monday
( tomorrow ).

But here's what I'm wondering. They're both set up to be used as monitors
too, and the screens of course are huge.

Is there a way I can link them to a wireless keyboard that I can use in
bed, and then to the main pc in another room, so I can have full PC use in
bed?

Isn't the wife of any interest in the bedroom?

That all depends on what video card you have and whether it has a
matching connector to the monitor. You will have to have a cable long
enough as well. The computer and the mouse will have to be in the same
room as you. Otherwise the wireless keyboard will be beyond it's range.
Kind of pointless really when you consider the point is to be able to
take the keyboard somewhere else. You *could* display what you see on your
screen in a different room than you are, but of course they would have no
control of the computer.

I dont care if it's internal to the TV, I just need to figure how to make
it happen using the TV as a monitor and a wireless keyboard for the bed.

Seems like I just need a wifi of some kind to send the monitor signals
from my PC to the HDTV.

Then I need a wifi USB keyboard? ( not sure how that fits with the
existing DT keyboard?

Hmm, I'm looking around and Asus was supposed to launch a EEE Keyboard PC
with Wireless HDMI. THAT sounds interesting, but apparently isnt out yet.

That would handle the keyboard in bed and use of the HDTV for monitor.

Then I'd just need wireless to get into my Actiontec in the next room, for
email and the web.

But it's an expensive solution, no?

Don't bother even reading Chuckcar's advice, he's coco crackers and has loused
up more computers than Carter has liver pills.
