HTC Phone as a monitor

---

Hi,

Is there a piece of software that lets me use my phone as an LCD screen/monitor for my computer? Ideally, i'd like to stream movies from my pc to the screen of my HTC phone (trinity atm), bt would like to use the speakers of my main computer.

Thanks,
James

The closest things I can think of would be using a remote desktop/VPN app to get to your PC. Video over VPN is a problem though - it typically doesn't work very well for a number of reasons. Your other choice would be to use a media streaming app on your PC and stream to TCPMP or Windows Media Player on your phone.

Neither of these solutions is anything like "using my phone as an LCD monitor" though.

yeah i dont think therminal services support the overlays that video use
nor DX as in directmedia stuff

another problem with streaming it while playing it on pc to use it's speakers would be to make sure the audio and video was in sync

of cause to get around that one could use a htc audio to 3.5minijack and feed the sound from the pda back into the pc's line in and have it play like that
of cause that raise the problem with the cable having to be pretty long otherwise i guess one could just watch it on the pc :P

I think that this server was not supported.

I agree with you Stream the videos from your PC... And if you have bluetooth on your PC, you can use the A2DP-service(BT stereo) to stream the sound back... But this will most likely fail because the use of A2DP is a real CPU-killer on our trinity... (Which will cause the video to no be shown, or be very lagging...)

you can try http://www.innobec.com/en/index.php

but this only works at WinXP or lower.

and it seems the program is not longer updated.

Excellent!!!!! This is *exactly* what I was looking for!
Many thanks =)

Now that is cool!
I wonder if it works with WM6.

Would be great for putting a voice comms app (ventrilo / teamspeak) on the PDA screen when I am gaming on my PC - that way I can see who is speaking.
