HDTV as external monitor using ethernet connection

Question

Hello,

I want to connect my HDTV to my iMac and use it as an external monitor.

My HDTV is about 25 ft away from my iMac.

A HDMI cable of that length cost over 200 $.

So, its not an option to me.

I just bought a smart rooter but my HDTV Panasonic Viera P50GT30 is not a smart TV.

It needs a DLNA server and I can't find one.

Question : Is there a way to use my HDTV as an external monitor using the Ethernet or Wifi connection?

Thank's,

Pierre.

You want a monitor that is 25 feet from your eyes?

If your machine supports it, Mountain Lion allows "mirroring" your display over a Wi-Fi network to an Apple TV ($99).

I tried Airparrot.

It works but I was not able to run full screen streaming.
