No. "Wireless" is for networking.
You could use wireless to connect to another computer that has a display attached to it and use that computers display, but you'll be seeing that computer, not your own.

Yeah, like wireless video?
Nope, sorry. I agree that it would / will be nice when we can do that. Choose which display device to project onto, but we're not there yet I'm afraid.
Cheers.
when i was ordering my macbook the salesman mentioned that it's possible to connect it to a stereo wirelessly and control music etc from anywhere around the house. Firstly how do i do this and secondly is it poss to do the same with video or as to OP asked the entire screen output?
ask a question?
When I bought my Macbook, way last year (2008), then when I bought the N router and a bunch of cables, then when I called various support people, eveyone said OH SURE, you can set up your Macbook to display on your LCD TV! Hey, no problem!
THEY LIED. There is no nicer way of saying it, they did lie. You cannot use your TV as a wireless monitor. You don't allow cursing on here or I'd use a few choice words.
I love you because you are fallible human beings, but you are a pack of ******* liars!

Well... I'm not sure if it'd work but...
Wireless hub with a USB port. Samsung USB monitor. I mean it'd kinda be the same as wireless printing, but with a monitor. Though it'd be a hog for bandwidth, and probably lag and break up every time you switched on the kettle, but I suppose it would, technically speaking, be possible.

Pretty sure the connecting to the TV would have fallen in the "bunch of cables" catagory more so than the "wireless N" catagory

your funny, do you do any research on your own; cannt believe your blaming this on someone else, not cool..
Do a google search - there's a lot of technology coming out to connect your computer to a display wirelessly, at least as a secondary display, but it won't plug into your airport, you'd have to drop about $150 for the special adaptors.
