Nyrius Aries Prime Wireless Video HDMI Transmitter & Receiver for Streaming HD 1080p 3D Video & Digital Audio from Laptop, PC, Cable, Netflix, YouTube, PS to HDTV/Projector (NPCS549)

I bought this wireless device for my parents to use with their new laptop. But before I took it to them, I tested it just to see how well it would work in my home in case I want one later. It did a very good job. My desktop PC that I connected the transmitter to is in one of the front bedrooms and the PC sits on a completely open spaced upper shelve (PC sits above my monitor) and the PC is also positioned in that room in such a way that if you stood in line of sight with it you would just barely be able to see out the bedroom door (at a sharp angle), down the very short hallway and into the open living room area where the TV is located just around the corner wall. So even tho the PC is sort of or barely in line of sight with the living room, the PC and TV itself is not in direct line of sight from each other. And I would say the approx. measurement distance between the two is about 25 feet or so. And the device was able to transmit the signal to that TV. I could tell though that I was stretching the signal very close to its limits, because when I would move the mouse around fast on the screen, the video would start getting choppy some. And if I placed the receiver very far at all inside the TV cabinet (which is an open front cabinet) then the signal would start getting very touchy, going in and out completely. So I figured if I bought one for me later then I would just place the receiver on the outside of the TV cabinet on the side of the hallway. And I think it would work out just fine. If I remember correctly I thought I remember seeing that the transmitted signal displayed a lower resolution tho, That far away I don't think it was transmitting full 1080p. But for the distance I had it and the fact that it wasn't directly in line of sight, I'd say it did pretty good. And to me the picture still look pretty good on the TV. It worked great on my parents setup because their laptop and big screen TV are used about 8 to 10 feet away from each other, so of course the signal was excellent. And I didn't experience any video lag on either my parents setup nor on my setup at home. So thats good. There was a point at my parents tho that for some reason the sound wasn't being transmitted to their TV. But after I investigated further it turn out to be an audio driver issue off their PC, which I fixed by re-installing their Intel Graphics HD audio driver from their PC manufacture. So overall I am very pleased with it and may later get one for myself.

Bought this to get rid of the laptop-in-front-of-the-TV setup we had for sending movies to the big screen. It works great, but it was a trial to get it to that point (though the fix was simple -- hopefully this review will help others avoid this particular issue.) When I first plugged everything in, I was very frustrated -- as others mentioned, there's pretty much zero documentation with it, just a basic picto-gram showing which piece plugs in where and where the cables go. (Small dongle into the laptop/sender, square box receiver into the TV.) When this yielded no results (TV screen staying dark, no indication of connection made), we looked online for the manual. This yielded no helpful information. After about 15 minutes of futzing around, plugging/unplugging and powering on-off and so on, I realized I had assumed that any HDMI cable would work. (Remember, we had a laptop setup we were already using via HDMI cable, so I'd just plugged the receiver into the TV using that same HDMI cable I already had.) As a last ditch option, I replaced that HDMI cable with the one that was shipped with the unit, thinking "Well, it shouldn't make any difference, but just in case..." Well, apparently it made ALL the difference in the world. As soon as that cable was in place, the picture popped up, the sound was there, and everything was perfect. Didn't have to change anything on the computer, etc. Had we used their cable initially, setup would have been less than 60 seconds. While I'm certain that the cable won't solve issues for everyone, it certainly solved it for me. As for the quality of picture and sound using the device, I have no complaints -- sounds just as great and picture quality is as good as when I was hard-connected to the laptop directly. The sending laptop is about 30 feet away across an open room (some furniture in the way, but no walls), and it has no trouble.

Needs work. USE: Transmitter is attached to a DirectTV GenieGo. Receiver is attached to a Sharp TV 60Ghz refresh rate. Receiver is about 10 to 12 feet away from transmitter. There are no walls in between. There are no nearby devices, of which I am aware, that could interrupt or degrade the signal. CONS: 1. The blue LED light on the transmitter blinks when the unit is off. Since I have to keep the Genie Go in a place where I can see it, the attached transmitter is also always viewable, as is the annoying, blinking LED light on the Nyrius Transmitter. 2. The picture is just OK. It is not clear, somewhat grainy. It might be the low 60 Ghz refresh rate on the TV. Perhaps the picture would be better if the TV was the normal 120 Ghz refresh rate, or the higher end 240 Ghz refresh rate? PROS: Well, it does work in the sense that it projects a TV signal to a remote TV that is not directly attached to my DirecTV service. Addendum: I have been using this product for over a year now. It has been a massive disappointment. Sometimes, it works OK, with the exception of the less than quality picture. Mostly though, it has great trouble keeping a constant, consistent video stream. I do not understand this because the receiver is in a room adjacent to the hardware broadcasting the signal, within 15 feet. And, there is clear line of sight. The signal has fits and starts, frequent time outs. It is immensely frustrating. I have gotten to the point that I rarely use the hardware. Today, I spent and hour on-line with their support people trying to troubleshoot the difficulty. Nothing could resolve the problem. I consider this purchase to have been a total waste of time and money, and would not recommend this product to anyone.

Produit apparemment bien fini et peu cher pour sa fonction. A l'usage : une catastrophe. La transmission du signal ne supporte pas le moindre obstacle, sur un film d'1h30, le signal saute 10 à 15 fois et met une bonne minutes à se re-synchroniser (voire plus), ruinant totalement le plaisir... J'ai essayé toutes les configurations de positionnement possibles, je dispose en plus d'une excellente bande passante wifi (fibre). Rien à faire... Une énorme déception, renvoyé pour remboursement.

Muy buen equipo, estoy fascinado con la calidad del streaming y el alcance, al parecer el alcance es mucho mayor de lo que se especifica.

I bought this to replace the traditional VGA beamer and screen arrangement in our meeting room. The quality had always been poor but with a relocation the cable runs were just too long. The beamer was junked and I decided to go for a smart TV and connect wirelessly. The important feature was that there should be no requirement to install software on a pc or laptop connected to the display. Visitors need to use the system but may not have admin rights (or even want) to install something. This does just plug and play. Quality is excellent. I have it operating over a distance of just 4 metres. We can swap the transmitter from laptop to laptop and it reconnects. A coupe of points to note: The mains power supplies are US plugs with some pretty rubbish adaptors but I used a USB socket from the TV to power the receiver. BE CAREFUL that they can supply enough current. The first one I tried had a limit of 0.5A and although the receiver lit up and seemed to do all the functions it wouldn't sync up. Moving the power lead to a "full-fat" USB did the trick. The transmitter can be powered from a USB port on the laptop with a piggy-back cable. The transmitter has a standard HDMI connector. If you have HP laptops, they use a different connector. You need to get an HP Display Port to HDMI adaptor - they're readily available for a few quid. Works well and looks a bit flash!

Fast delivery. 3 days earlier from the schedule. Tested and worked well. It is a recommended product.

The signal looks compressed and there is much interference with WiFi network (sometimes RX and TX doesn’t connect).
