Wireless monitor?

I'm not sure it exists. It would be nice though. Only if you had a resolution of 1024x768 and a refresh rate of 75Hz, you'd need a whopping 170MB/s transfer speed for 24-bit colour.

Surely you'd need wires for the power supply anyway??

Jesus, it does exist! You've just converted me John - something to put on my shopping list!

If you do get one, let us know what it's like, yeah?

Be cautious here.

Yes, it'll work, but remember 802.11b is only 11Mb/s so it all depends on what you expect out of it [display].
In practice, you'll get a realistic 2.5 to 4Mb throughput.

Therefore, using it as a display for applications is no problemo, but if you expect it to keep up .. say .. playing DVDs .. forget it, 802.11g *almost* will do here, 802.11b will be very juddery (horrid).

In other words, don't expect it to "show exactly what would be on the screen if it was plugged into the VGA port normally" for all uses.
For general PC use, I reckon you'll like it.
