    wireless slide show from computer to TV?

    Hope it is OK to ask this question here. Tried search and did not find.

    I would like to start slide show on computer and have it show on TV in another room.

    I found an X-10 page that seems to describe a "system" that will accomplish the task, BUT: I wonder about quality of pictures.
    I have an x-10 wireless camera system that shows an image that would not be acceptable for "in house" slide shows.

    Thanks to all who can offer suggestions and/or reviews.

    You have to have a video card in your computer which will out put a Video Signal (composite or S-Video). Form there you can run the wires (stereo audio from the sound card and the video from the video card) to the TV, or run it to a TV modulator and turn to the modulated channel or run a 75 ohm coaxial cable to the TV. Please note that TV is only 640x480 pixels unless you have an HD TV. There are DVI to HDMI converters but going farther than 6-10 feet will get very costly. The cat 5 video transmitter/receiver boxes will convert computer monitor (VGA and DVI signals) up to 300 feet and more($$$$$) start about $300.00. Check Black Box, or Extron examples: http://www.extron.com/product/product.aspx?id=dvi201dl http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Result...4294964208/p-0
