Looks like the demo has some overscan problems to deal with before it's ready for prime time. Not exactly what I would call "flawless". Also, is WiDi yet capable of 1080p? Seems to me like Intel should be leveraging WirelessHD here rather than try to reinvent the wheel. I don't want to have 4 different adapters for WirelessHD, WiDi, WDMI, and WiGig in my house - kinda defeats the purpose.
In understand that WiDi is supposed to clone the desktop of the device, but there's not much point in try to play back 1080p content over WiDi if it's not native. WiDi is worthless in the HTPC realm, even if it is fun to show off for your friends.
"Computing Solutions provider, not just Chipmaker"
Haha... not just Chipmaker... they are a Chipmaker and the biggest at that... What other computing solutions besides x86 chips does Intel provide? They cannot even make a descent GPU... XD

Intel is a "Computing Solutions provider" and not a chipmaker as much as Shell is an "Energy company" and not just an oil company.therealnickdanger - Monday, September 13, 2010 - link

That's probably just the guy who setup the demo not putting the TV in the correct mode. By default almost all TVs overscan like that.strikeback03 - Monday, September 13, 2010 - link
Running only "known good" applications sounds like a bad idea to me, albeit something Apple would probably like.jasperjones - Monday, September 13, 2010 - link
I hope we won't see anything resembling TPM ever again!Zingam - Monday, September 13, 2010 - link
