wireless display under linux? hi, i am currently looking for an alternative for a tablet pc and i was wondering if there’s a way to set up a wireless display under linux? and if you could recommend a display and adapter or a manufacturer that’d be much appreciated too?! looking for a dumb display or monitor without any functionality besides being a wireless display. maybe 8” diagonal (16:9 or 16:10) and it doesn’t even need a battery (in fact i’d prefer if it was wall power only). thanks for reading!

    Not really a solution specifically for a tiny screen like 8’’ but you could search the web for point-to-point wireless HDMI extenders and see if that is something that could work for you. F.e. …digitus.com/…/Wireless-HDMI-extender-set-50-m-10…

    Not sure if it’s a good fit for your use case, but I’m using gnome-network-displays to stream to my TV. It does Miracast and Chromecast. There’s some lag, though. Not sure if that’s my old TV or the protocol, but it’s mainly good for streaming videos.

    There’s no dumb wireless display, that product category doesn’t exist. Not that it wouldn’t be possible; there’s also “dumb” wifi-connectors around (you “dial” the IP via it’s pins) but nobody built something like that for displays, they all run a whole OS.
