you might be able to test that by showing it at a much lower resolution. I would hypothesize that if the TV was not handling it would be more garbled looking than simply delayed--but I don't know.

Do you have any other wireless devices that may be causing issues? I don't know if there is a way to check the signal strength or not, but it might be worth checking.

I'd expect a little delay, but 5 seconds seems pretty high.

Do you run anything in the background that could be eating your CPU, GPU, or system resources. Your processor is pretty beefy compared to most mobile devices. The nVidia specs are nice as well. I don't know what could be eating through it, but it might be worth checking out your CPU, Memory, and network utilization while you have the WiDi link up. Compare that to the when it's not running, and that could give you a good indication of what changes.

In full disclosure, I haven't used WiDi. Does it go through a router, or direct to the TV? I would assume it's direct. If it goes through a router, you'd pick up some time by eliminating the extra hop with a direct wireless connection.

What does that do? Isn't Ivy Bridge my i7 processor? Fantastic Anarchist Aug 2013 #5
Ivy bridge provides video processing, but if you have an nVidia card, its GPU is better. Gore1FL Aug 2013 #6
