TV tuners are in abundance at Computex, but Gigabyte has a take that we haven’t seen elsewhere – a wireless VGA box to connect a TV and PC.

Still in research and development, the idea behind the white, bland looking box is that if you have a flat screen TV (or TFT) in for instance another room, it can stream a signal from the PC.

In the case of an entertainment PC, that will mean you can watch your TV in a different room to where the PC sits.

The downside though, is that you can’t change channels – unless you walk into the other room. But it will also play games on a TV, although obviously in this case the PC needs to be in the same room. You can also hook games consoles to it, such as a Playstation or Xbox 360, allowing you to use a spare monitor for gaming rather than the TV.

At this stage there’s no indication of price, or when it is likely to come out, but Gigabytes hopes it will make an appearance by the back end of the year.

As a concept, we like the idea. It’s a niche product, but if launched, will interest buyers, although it will need to make it a little more attractive and offer a good range of connections.
