Nvidia has announced that they are working a wireless display technology. Something that Intel has been doing for some time as well. Unlike Intel there is nothing specific yet or a working sample shown to the press, but considering the ambition I am sure that one thing they will push for is 1080p transfers. AFAIK Intel can only push 720p. In the end, once it hits the 1080p the fight will start on price and latency in high end. The mainstream market should be OK with a small lag, where as gamers will want lower lag. If this is done right small nettops might have a serious competition, as the Wireless Dispaly should be cheaper and should allow more options as the machine powering it will be more capable. This is really exciting technology.
Given a second thought, I think the fight will be won not necessarily by the best tech, but the best salesman where it counts, the TV manufacturers. If the TVs start coming out supporting one standard, that will be huge boost. Why would you buy another box if you really can be wires free!
