Atlona's Wireless USB to HDMI Video Adapter. FTW!

One of the key reasons why early adopters still believe in Wireless USB is the convenience of having a cordless LCD monitor. Earlier, IOGear first brought this to the market in the form of a dongle, Samsung has pushed this feature into mainstream with its wireless 19" LCD, and now Atlona tries to further improve the application by throwing in HDMI and dual monitor connectivity. Atlona's HDAiR WUSB to HDMI or VGA converter comprises of three parts: the host wire adapter, device wire adapter, and the video card cradle with two display outputs.

The setup is similar to Cables Unlimited Wireless USB Adapter Set because both products are basically reference design by by Wisair. Atlona WUSB video solution probably has a better chipset since it is capable of streaming at up to 720p or 1440x1050 (16:9) to a display up to 30 ft. away from the PC. Also unique to the Atlona is the ability to connect to two monitors simultaneously, but only expect this to be in mirrored mode. The company never mentions sound support, so don't assume the HDMI interface is going to carry audio in this case. If wireless video to two LCDs are what you want, and you are using either Vista or XP, the Atlona HDAiR is yours for $199.99.
