My situation is this: I have my 360 game setup in my room. For whatever reason, a good deal of time is spent in the adjacent room, no more than 20 feet away.
I'm getting a netbook (possibly a laptop, but probably not) to cover basic needs while I'm here, such as e-mail, web browsing, PDF reading, text and picture editing, programming, etc.
A few years ago, I had this cheapie little portable DVD player that had a composite port that supported both in AND out, so I was able to actually play my Xbox on this tiny little 6" screen. So, it got me thinking, maybe I could expand the functionality of my new portable PC by using the screen to play games.
Right now, I'd like the 360 to remain in the other room so I don't have to keep lugging it out and switching cables every time I want to play it outside unless I get another set of power, which could be a possibility.
So, I'm looking at a wireless solution. I've seen a wireless tuner-type card that connects a video source- VGA, composite, component, whatever- to a wireless transmitter which sends the signal to a USB receiver and decoded with software going on the laptop/netbook.
Has anyone had any experiences with this? I'm looking for hardware recommendations, if you have, or what went wrong. The main thing I'm worried about is the lag between the two. A little is acceptable but more than a second will limit my game selection a bit.
