It's an O-KWorld

The PC to TV can transform your television screen into a computer monitor. - Contributed

I never thought the day would come when so many of my dreams would come true, especially at the hands of one company, KWorld.

This week, Tech Savvy reviews three devices that will simplify home entertainment.

Wireless Media Sender

The wireless media sender sparks greatest interest. The device comes in pairs: one transmits the information and the other receives the information wirelessly. Both gadgets have an audio-video input and output, and power adapter.

The wireless media sender transmits video and audio wirelessly across large spaces. This gives you the flexibility to have your DVD player or Sony PlayStation 3 in one room and view movies and play games in the next wirelessly.

PC to TV

Most persons are trying to cut down on the number of appliances they use in their homes because of roller-coaster electricity bills. This device will definitely help to reduce costs by transforming your normal television set into a computer monitor. Never again will you need to have your monitor and television set separate. Compressing the functions should help you conserve on energy and make more space.

TVBOX 1680ex

If your monitor is a top-of-the-line LCD, you may forego the PC to TV strategy. Simply get a TV Box. The TVBox will give your computer the flexibility to display TV and cable programmes. But the KWorld TVBox 1680ex has added features, such as the ability to display HD TV programmes. The gadget also comes with a built-in speaker.

The Wrap

You can really get some crazy ideas by combining two or more of these KWorld gizmos. For example, the wireless media sender empowers you to control what is shown on every TV screen in your house, or using the TVBox 1680ex to get high-definition gaming from your Microsoft XBox 360 on your monitor. Trust me - the possibilities are endless.
