I am supposed to get a new replacement M14X,I had quite a few issues that dell couldn't repair and the last time out the tech broke a few things. I am curious If any one has or knows about the m14x with the built in wihd tech.I tried searching the forums and we all know how that turns out.Lol. Any info or recommendation will be Rep +.I didn't ask for this dell gave it to me along with a few upgrades so I am hoping all work out.I see I need a reciever for the signal from the laptop.And I know it's basic functionality from google and doing some research.But I never rely soley on places where any body with internet can give a misguided review.On here I trust NBR since we have model specific experience and much appreciated owners who help each other.Thanks all.![]()

I have the SiBeam WiHD. I like it. It works really well. I've used it to show YouTube videos to the whole family, and full length movies. I've played Left 4 Dead on it without any issues or delay at all. I know the Intel wireless HD has some delay in it that causes issues when gaming. It works like adding a second monitor. You can clone or span the display, and make it the primary or secondary display.
It did go out one day because I had the footrest up on the couch and the dog jumped up and laid down on my legs, blocking the transmitter. It doesn't go out when people walk between the transmitter and receiver though.
I have the Vizio receiver. I don't think that's the one Dell is offering anymore, though you can get it on Amazon's site. -
ther than that it looks good and according to a few different sites one saying "the best WI-HD Box We've ever used.I wanted to hear from NBR people like you first.Overall Iv'e read good and bad on the vizio and tbh I don,t like their tv's.That's another reason I was looking at dells site at the zyxel aero beam,I think,it's early.Lol.What do you think of my setup with the vizio?The pic quality is good you said,that's a plus and lag is from intel's reciever you say on games,that is an issue since I love seeing games playing while laying in bed on a 50.It's awesome but the hdmi cable is a slight inconvenience,and I have a big Dog that thinks he's a lap dog.Alway's on my bed, stepping on the wire etc.Stepped on my control wire while I was gunnin down a few guys that killed me 3 times in a row in BF3! They had their backs turned in the office,on the rail map, and I had just opened up on them and boom my dog pulls the cord out.Lmfao.So I think this is a great tech. Thank you again.I Gave you a rep Kynlore,Thank you.

I have a LG 47" TV. The Vizio works fine with mine. It can accept 3 or 4 device (it isn't in front of me right now), and is auto-switching. I can't see any issue with the receiver, with your set-up. If anything there may need to be some fine-tuning between the laptop and TV for contrast or color, or something like that. I don't really think that has anything to do with the WiHD though. -
No edd yet.

I have it too on my M14x. It works fine. Easy to setup and use. I just wish there were more TVs with a built in reciever.
Have you checked out this discussion thread:

I know what your talking about. I spent hours searching for information on WiHD (WirelessHD) once I made the desicion to buy a M14x. The web site for the WirelessHD consortium seems out of date. I talked to a Sony rep about WiHD but they didn't understand what I was asking and kept refering to WiFi.
I got the Aerobeam that Dell/Alienware sent me. Took me about 5 minutes to setup and use for the first time. But I haven't used it since. Eventually I'll use it regularly. -
Built in Wi HD Sibeam?
