5-yr-old W7 desktop. Want to setup a mirror monitor on a standup desk six ft away. Will this allow me to do that wireless? Any limit to monitor type?

If you are worried about the distance.... there is no problem at all. I mirror with a laptop having W8 in a long range distance tan six ft. , I have dificulties trying to mirror with my 7-yr old desktop W7. It Works better with W8. Your monitor or TV must have a HDMI input, and better with a USB connector.

Making any desktop wireless is quite simple and cheap. Buy a usb wireless adapter they are not expensive and you pretty much plug them into a usb post and follow the instructions.

I'm pretty sure you can because we connect this same computer up to a projector. We set it to mirror so the computer and the projector sow the same thing.

I use a wireless mouse and suppose you could use wireless keyboard. Don't know about monitor.

no. this would produce wireless for the desktop. You will need this for the laptop as well as a wireless router. You would also need a internet connection the location the router is installed

Works great except I do not use it the way you're describing. It sits above the computer monitor facing the user maybe 3-4 feet away from user.

Agreed! We like out Dell as well! We use ours very portable and have not tried hooking it up to an external monitor. However, have you tried going to "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution" and adjusted the resolution settings? I've often used this at work to use various laptops with various viewing hardware in conference rooms including old 36" tube TV's and have generally found a resolution that works from the controls of the laptop operating system. Windows 7 has 15 different resolution settings. Older version do not have that many if I remember correctly. Anyway, good luck and I hope you find a solution. Agreed! We like out Dell as well!

I use this with 2 monitors on the Varidesk and my laptop docked on my stationary desk. I had to get one longer monitor cable to reach the monitor on the far side. I don't use the laptop monitor while standing. I really love this desk, fwiw..

This is only meant to mirror the picture between two displays. It will not create a second workspace or extension of your current monitor. This is meant for creating two monitors with the same picture. If you are looking to work with two monitors at the same time with different programs open on each of them. You will need either a video card with two outputs on it or two separate video cards. Does this make sense?

If the monitor is a desk setup, I would use an USB to DVI adapter. This works for conference room projection in my mind.

I set mine up in about 3 hours and have not experienced any problems. Running Windows 7 with heavy business programs and graphics, and no issues. I do use a wireless mouse.

You can use this device connected to a USB 3.0 hub. I use it with the Plugable 7 port USB 3.0 hub with two monitors and the Ethernet connected and it works great.

The Asus monitor seems to work just like any other second monitor. What you are asking is not how I use it with Windows 7 or know how to do. I don't think it works that way with any Windows 7 setup. But in any event, how I use the second monitor is to have it work as a part of a larger, single environment. Window 7 calls it "extend". I open up the window I want in the first monitor, make sure it isn't maximized, and then drag it to the Asus monitor. Once you do that any future windows you wish to open with that application will go there. It doesn't matter where your mouse is.

You need a 2.4Ghz Desktop for good range (around 30ft) The only ones by logitech are the DiNivo's which are very expensive and one called simply the Cordless desktop 2400( anround $55). I also was using this for a "Couch system" and it works well, but if you go for this get yourself a USB extension as the receiver is a little USB stick and being shielded by my metal computer gear reduced the range, the usb extension allowed me to find a good receiving spot.
