Airplay Without The Arrogance

Apple users often carry a stigma with them that they are superior to the average computer user because they were smart enough to spend more money on a Mac. While I have no intentions of getting into that philosophical debate, AirPlay is now the gold standard for taking a display from a computer screen or mobile device and duplicating it on a projector or HDTV.

But what if you do not have a Mac? That is where the ConnectHD really becomes a shining star. Yes, you have to have a separate dongle and cannot use WiFi like AirPlay. Also, you cannot use the Warpia device to stream your Android tablet or iPad to your display, but being able to dump what you see on your computer screen onto the big screen is a nice feature that has applications beyond the typical "I want to play my computer games on my television" application.

Is it 100% perfect? No, for PowerPoint and business applications, the delay in the video is negligible and something you truly will not notice. If you start to play games with the device, you may notice some slowdown between what is on the computer display and what is on the television, which would be annoying in a fast-paced game that needs a lot of user interaction.
