Hi
Planning to set up a mini theater - I have a laptop with HDMI Port. I am planning to get a 22-28 inch LCD Monitor (not TV), and also a wireless/bluetooth mouse so that there are no hassle of any cables. Team, can you suggest: -- A good LCD monitor (having HDMI/RCA/VGA connectors); 22 - 28" screen size, with efficient power consumption -- A good wireless mouse, preferably bluetooth since the laptop has bluetooth built-in. I am of the understanding that a wireless mouse communicates to the laptop through a usb dongle. I dont want to use a dongle. Regards Ed. |

Mouse is really up to you. I recommend folks go down to a local big box store like BestBuy and trying out the mice on display. Get whichever one feels comfortable to you.
As for the monitor, I'd recommend a Dell . The Dell 2408WFP is a solid choice. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=320-6272

Instead of bluetooth keyboard and mouse, check out this product from Adesso which uses RF. I have one and lot it.

My choice for a wireless/bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo for a HTPC set up would be the Rocketfish RF-BTCMB0. It is easy to set up, easy to use (I have two in my house), and you can connect other Bluetooth devices to it to run through your computer. The biggest advantage is the range....you can use it up to 20-30 yards away from the dongle that plugs into your USB port. They are hard to find, but well worth the price (about $40-$50 for a "new" set on eBay--when available). Folks I know that have these swear by them, not at them.
