Is 720p still acceptable to you?

Please inform us how that goes. How laggy is it? Compared to Gamepad or Vita(TV)?

The Gamepad uses the 5GHz band to reduce the lag, and due to this it has a low range.
I'm assuming Remote Play is just streamed through your network? Even from outside?

FYI WiDi on my laptop and smartphone does lag noticeably.

I posted my findings in this thread
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=215495&page=2

It is laggy over wifi, neither my ps4 or laptop are wired. Direct wifi connection is not (yet?) supported.
Still playable, yet a bit blurry (max 10mbps) Definitely not WiiU gamepad quality.

Thanks for the heads up, already saw the great posts you made there.
Still not sure what protocol the Gamepad uses since Miracast/WiDi/etc all have an inherent lag.

Did a little research (I've tried before during launch but nothing came up) and there are little snippets:

• It uses a modified Wi-Fi protocol designed for low-latency transmission, establishing its connection with the console by using a variant of the WPS process, with proprietary transfer protocol and software co-developed with Broadcom [source]
• Controller inputs themselves are beamed back to the Wii U via the same WiFi channel (180 times per second) [source]
• And some actual unfiltered information [source]:

While some “journalists” reported that the Wii U gamepad is using the Miracast technology, a Wi-Fi standard, it turned out that this was never the case. Instead, Nintendo decided to reinvent four different protocols (video streaming, audio streaming, input streaming as well as a light request-reply RPC protocol), and embed them in a slightly obfuscated version of WPA2, sent over the air using 5GHz Wi-Fi 802.11n. A small ARM CPU is embedded in the Wii U Gamepad (codenamed DRC) and runs a realtime operating system to handle network communication. In the Wii U, another ARM CPU (codenamed DRH) does the same thing.

Sorry for going off-topic guys :)
