I'm thinking one would also need a T.V. or monitor that will except the wifi signal and know what to do with the signal.

I am no expert, but the first thing I learned as to why I can't use WiDi on this particular computer is due to the fact that I am running an AMD processor and WiDi is an Intel product. That said it leaves me to think it is more processor specific than say a PCI add-on board. I currently stream to tv using a wireless multi-function box that is hooked up to my 47" Toshiba which is also my secondary monitor. That box connects to tv via HDMI and does apps like YouTube, Facebook, Netflix and many more for just $40 after rebate. Just fishin' there and I'm not wasting more time on that now and won't waste yours either.
I might have to break my old ways and get me one of those laptop thingies some day.
Found the original info for my laptop , i forgot to add, one of the biggest reasons i never used WiDi is i have to buy a Netgear receiver , no way lol.

Most TV's today have wifi and widi capabilities built in. My parents have a couple at there home and I have them set up so Mom can use the TV for her skype and other apps. It's actually pretty cool.
