    Does anyone know if the AW14 supports wireless display? And if so, does anyone know of a good adapter that works on windows 8? I kind of want to just buy one and try it, but I don't really have the 8 hours to spend trying to figure out if it is compatible or not. I have heard some epic horror stories about WiDi but it would be soooooo nice to have

    It isn't supported. We are currently offering only DELL, Broadcom and Killer wireless cards (WIDI needs Intel Wireless Cards). To have a feature like that you would need to get an external WiHD kit from an external source.
