00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:12,639
remember what a big deal cordless phones were in the 80s and 90s

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:20,480
well it wasn't too long before engineers expanded this untethering idea to other

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:25,600
gadgets so nowadays we've got 2.4 gigahertz gaming headsets bluetooth

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:29,199
christmas lights and enough lte signals flying through the air to make any

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:33,760
passing extraterrestrials think that we communicate solely through some kind of

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:38,960
primitive form of hieroglyphics but one modern device has lagged behind

9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:44,079
the others in this era of wireless keyboards wireless mice and wireless

10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:47,520
networking our monitors seem to be the

11
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:49,760
one thing that still needs a long clunky

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,079
cable running across the desk so what gives

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:58,559
well for starters this observation isn't completely true there are wireless

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:04,000
display standards that have been around for quite some time and i'm not talking

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,159
about features like casting where your

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,119
phone or your device just sends an instruction over wi-fi for your tv to

17
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:15,760
access a youtube video or whatever i'm talking about real ways to connect a

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,360
display and have it show anything you'd like just as you would with the wired

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,560
monitor that might be sitting on your desk right now

20
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:27,040
one currently popular option is miracast

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:32,000
this is essentially an HDMI connection over wi-fi that works if you're using a

22
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,040
computer or other device that has wi-fi built in

23
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,680
the nice thing about miracast is that it doesn't need to go through a router

24
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:44,240
rather it forms a direct connection from your computer to your display so you can

25
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:49,600
use it even if your wireless network is slow or if there isn't one available at

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:53,280
all in Windows 10 simply click connect in the action center and that will cause

27
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:58,640
your system to scan for available miracast displays click the one you'd

28
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,000
like to connect to and you are all set

29
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,240
in theory although there are displays with

30
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:09,200
miracast baked in as well as HDMI adapters that enable it miracast isn't

31
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:14,080
compatible with everything Android devices dropped support for it some time

32
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:19,200
ago mac and iOS users instead have to use airplay which by the way does

33
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:23,280
require a proper wi-fi network and for devices without wi-fi at all like a

34
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,879
desktop pc well no luck there either

35
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,800
so if you want some more flexibility you might want to look at a standalone

36
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:35,760
wireless display kit that lets you plug an HDMI connected transmitter into your

37
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:40,319
pc or your source device even a camera for example and an HDMI receiver to your

38
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,879
display these devices often use standards that

39
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:49,360
transmit data quickly enough to avoid the huge loss NVIDIA quality through

40
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,560
compression that can be a big problem with wi-fi based solutions

41
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:59,920
so then with all those benefits and both miracast and standalone kits even

42
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,480
supporting 5.1 surround audio just like

43
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:07,440
a physical HDMI cable why aren't we all using them right now well it turns out

44
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,360
you're gonna run into issues no matter which wireless display implementation

45
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:16,720
you choose even if you go for a low compression non-wi-fi solution because

46
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,599
wireless connections are nearly always slower than their wired counterparts and

47
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:26,480
wireless display tech is no exception it's more difficult for these signals to

48
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:32,959
carry the higher amounts of data needed for a high-res picture so want 4k well

49
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,040
get ready to spend a lot of money if you can find something at all

50
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,720
and of course we haven't even gotten to the elephant in the room the slow

51
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:46,480
elephant in the room lag because these compressed wireless

52
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:51,440
signals require extra processing at both ends you'll probably experience more

53
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:56,159
latency with a wireless display this means that you'll have small delays when

54
00:03:53,519 --> 00:04:01,040
you do anything like move your mouse or type a sentence which might be fine for

55
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:07,200
writing an email or giving a powerpoint presentation but it can be so bad as to

56
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:11,760
cause desync issues with video playback and it's almost guaranteed to be a

57
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,799
killer for gaming making matters worse many wireless HDMI

58
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:21,680
kits perform best over very short distances and with a direct line of

59
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:26,400
sight between your source device and your display making them once you factor

60
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,160
in that you have to run a power cord to them anyway so you're not going full

61
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,960
wireless actually a lot more work to set up than

62
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:40,800
you might have initially imagined so then unless you really need a display

63
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,280
in a spot where you just can't run accord to it i wouldn't bother investing

64
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:48,240
money in extra equipment to make your setup wireless

65
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,720
for now besides this gives you an opportunity to

66
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:58,000
practice good cable management which i know is everyone's favorite part of

67
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:02,400
setting up their battle station do you find yourself racing against the

68
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,919
clock as a freelancer it's challenging but thanks to the internet there's never

69
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:11,520
been more opportunities for the self-employed i heard that there are

70
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:13,919
even people out there who make videos

71
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,479
upload them online and they get paid for it

72
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,160
