Extendo-matic!
The media could not be loaded. Here are my thoughts on this wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver package from Darlyor. As advertised, this little setup is meant wirelessly connect just about any transmitting unit (like a cable/set top box or a laptop) to a receiver (an HDMI capable TV, monitor, display). Really, many options as far as sending/receiving devices. It says it supports 5.8g/2.4g 1080P @ 60 hertz and up to 165 feet away. It also says it's "plug and play". Sounds good, but does it work? Yes! It works very well actually. So in my kit there was just one sending and one receiving "pucks". I'll call them pucks because that's what they look like. Small round pucks with a nice little 5 inch antenna on them. They also have a USB-C port for power. This is needed when the sending unit doesn't have a enough power to supply out of the HDMI port. I found some things worked ok, like my cable box. Others did not, like my laptop. So I just used the power to supply the puck as needed. The pucks are cool looking, sleek. They have a nice little RX/TX indicator on them so you can't mess it up. They also sort of glow with the light ring. The ring provides some quick visual status to things working, or not. Also, regarding pucks, it's important to know that you can do a many-to-one configuration where you have more than one RX unit going to a TX unit. That could be very convenient. Lastly the pucks are small and easy to hide behind a TV with some double-sided tape if needed. Onto setup - it says plug and play. Guess what? I plugged one into the laptop, the other the TV. Once setting the right TV input, it basically just found the other one and started working without any intervention on my behalf. But also know that there are configuration instructions online, and a manual in the box. Plus some videos out there too. Nobody should have any real issued getting this running. It was a breeze. Once all setup and working you are basically set. I was able to control the volume (through HDMI) that is also being transmitted between devices. As far as streaming quality, I noticed very little lag or buffering effects. It was pretty seamless. Maybe if you're playing video game multiplayer sessions you'd see something? But for videos and TV play, it was darn good. Other notes - included in the box are some mini HDMI adapters and HDMI cables, and some short but sturdy USB-C to USB-C cables. No power brick, so you'd need to supply your own if needed. So, there you have it. It works great. I was tickled. It really solved a problem I had with a Cable set top box and wall cable (coax) placement I had.
