WiDi Latency Issue [View all]
Okay, I have Windows 8 and after a couple of hours downloading the necessary drivers and software for my already installed WiDi, I finally got it to connect to my HD TV to use as a second monitor.
Now, there's about a 4-5 second lag between actions on my laptop and what appears on my TV.
The reason I had to download all of the drivers and other software from Intel was because there is apparently a problem with Windows 8 and HD TVs.
I've been told to revert to Windows 7 drivers, but I'm afraid that will just make it not work again. I can live with the latency, but I don't want to lose a couple of hours work for nothing!
So, I'm just throwing it out there in case someone else had the same issue and has a different solution.
