Sometimes in this industry you see products that ooze innovation. Now by any given standard that does not always mean brilliant ideas, but yeah ... innovation and differentiation is always downright interesting at the very least. One innovative product that dropped like a bomb into the market a couple of weeks ago is the KFA2/Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 WHDI with the card transmitting a wireless signal to your HDTV. An idea that originates from Intel actually, as they also have WHDI solutions these days.

But think about it ... a graphics card with no monitor connectors attached to it, yet when you look at the HDTV you see your desktop in 1920x1080P perfectly clear and fine, all transmitted through the air. Duuuude -- that's like Star Trek for real -- I mean 1920x1080 is 2 million pixels at 32-bit with 60 refreshes each second as well.

The concept surely is miraculous and even weirder, it works surprisingly well !

Amazing Wireless gfx cards, that too GTX 460!!!
Super amazing stuff is that it hardly shows any performance drops:hap2:
 
Still no updates on pricing :(....

One interesting point...

One concern does come to mind, security. You have no influence over how secure data is transmitted, and while the box and the card make a handshake and that signal is 128-bit AES encrypted, we do wonder "what if" -- the neighbor had a similar receiver box as well. Can he or she activate it and get your monitor output ? Some might be hindered by that knowledge, others just do not care. Fact remains that the chances of someone else picking up your data-stream properly are what ... a million to one ?
