> 3 dayI ordered this to use with a client who is doing live streaming classes via Zoom and wanted to mirror a computer to a TV screen so he could see and interact with class participants. When I opened the box and took out the transmitter, I was surprised at how very light it was. In the pictures it looked like aluminum but its actually a rather cheap-feeling plastic. I plugged the unit directly into the HDMI port of my 2022 MacBook Pro but then discovered that the unit is so wide that I couldnt plug the power cable for the unit into the USB C port beside it. I then used the HDMI extension cable to plug into my laptop. The included cable to power the transmitter/receiver has USB A on one end and micro USB on the other end...neither one of which is supported very well on modern laptops. I had to use a USB C to USB A adapter to plug into my computers USB C port. Then I plugged the USB A to micro USB cable into the adapter and transmitter unit. By this time I had quite a snarl of cords and adapters next to my laptop. I then plugged the HDMI receiver unit into my TV. I had to remove another HDMI cable to make room for the bulky receiver unit since there was only one HDMI extension cable included. I had to use a USB power bank to power the receiver since my single USB output on the TV went to my soundbar. Now I was finally ready to test it out. This part was pretty straightforward and easy. Just push the button on the transmitter and my laptop screen was mirrored to the TV. As soon as I did this, the resolution of my laptop screen got much bigger so the windows and font size reduced considerably. These smaller windows and font size were also mirrored to my TV. To test, I tried streaming a TV show from a popular streaming service onto my TV from my laptop. There was a very noticeable delay as I watched the picture on my laptop and compared it to the TV. It seemed like about a 1 second lag. The advertising says plug and play, no delay but this was not my experience. Even with my laptop just 4 feet away from my TV there was a significant delay. This wouldnt matter much if I was just streaming TV shows, but I ordered this for live online classes via Zoom. This means that there would always be a significant lag time between a class participant speaking and seeing/hearing it on the TV. This would get frustrating quickly with people trying to talk over each other, thinking the other had finished speaking. Overall, this was a disappointing experience and did not do what it was supposed to do. For this reason I cannot recommend it unless you dont care about the lag time.

> 3 dayI got this to avoid using an HDMI cable at events where we needed a portable scoreboard, and with my projector and portable screen this was a no-brainer to put that scoreboard closer to the guests who came to the roller derby bout. Connecting is a no-brainer as the transmitter and receiver are paired at the factory. I do wish my laptop had more old-style USB-A ports to connect this with, but I used an old phone charger to supply the necessary power to the transmitter and I was up and running. The resolution is great (looks crystal clear to me, so likely is the full 4k they claim) and within the distance claimed I had no problems connecting. There is a bit of lag between when I move my mouse and when it moves on the screen, but its nothing I cant work through. I had not expected audio to transmit as well as video, but when I broadcast some videos from my laptop onto my TV the sound was definitely coming from the TV (which means no more HDMI cables on movie nights - YAY!). For what this does, I am blown away by how well it works and how simple it is to use - this is MUCH better than any Chromecast Ive ever used as I get to control what I cast and it doesnt have to be in a web browser.

> 3 dayThis is a great wireless HDMI cable. I was able to set this up for my projector and it worked perfectly. The transmitter and receiver are both a bit on the larger side. And they each require separate power via the usb connection. But once its configured well, it works exactly as described. Im happy with this because now I just have to worry a power cable when setting up my backyard movie night with my projector.

> 3 dayThis review is for the BRILOCEA Wireless HDMI Transmitter and Receiver, Wireless HDMI Extender Kit for Laptop and PC, Plug & Play, Wireless HDMI Dongle Adapter for Streaming Video/Audio from Laptop/PC to HDTV Projector I ordered. I like how easily this connected my laptop to my projector and I really like how I no longer need to connect an HDMI cable that always would get in the way. Within seconds of plugging one cable to my laptop and one into my projector, I was able to use my projector as a second screen. The image quality is great and the portability is too. I highly recommend this to anyone!

> 3 dayThis is a wireless wonder of a specific kind. When connected to a laptop and to a TV, it worked exactly as described. When I tried connect it to an all-in-one pc and a monitor the connection screen appeared but the mirror mode never came on. Image quality (when it connected) was excellent and the audio quality was equally good. I didnt experience any lagging issues or de-synchronization between audio and video. Others reported that the inputs got warm and I too noted that they were warm to the touch. All told this wireless system works when used exactly as detailed.

> 3 dayThis is a great little device that you will use a lot. There was virtually no setup - I plugged the transmitter into my laptops HDMI port and the receiver into the TV HDMI port and, in no time, I was mirroring my laptop stream to the large tv monitor. This is really convenient when showing movies from my DVD drive or those I ripped to a hard drive. It is also great for presentations at meetings. This is a must have for any videophile that does serious streaming to a tv or monitor. Also, it comes at a really good price so it makes a nice gift.

> 3 dayThis HDMI transmitter and receiver kit works out pretty decently to not have to run long or visible cables. The setup works out pretty well for sending audio and video wirelessly to a set of video glasses, even if limited to flat out 1080p. The transmitter and receiver auto connect to each other after powered up and can auto reconnect to each other if there is a disconnect or power loss. Requires USB power to run and the cable should be decently long enough to reach most USB ports and chargers to plug in. Also comes with an HDMI extension if you need a bit more length. The main HDMI side of the cable do get noticeably hot during use, having the main body be made of aluminum with small fins could help with heat dissipation and heat management. This is for the white cable version with HDMI on one end and USB type A on the other.

> 3 dayI dont know about you, but when I saw the picture, I had absolutely no faith this would work well. Just a cable with two connections? How could that work? So, it actually has two cables. One is for output and one is for input (self explanatory.) It is powered by USB. So I used my computer out HDMI and USB (A) for power. Plugged the second cable into my TV about 40 feet away, HDMI in and USB for power. That was it. It worked perfectly. The directions are basically non-existent, but who needs them!? Nothing to this. It does comes with a black HDMI extender, but that is necessary only if you need more cable length so you can reach the HDMI port or the USB port. Nothing special. Overall, works fine in the distance I tried. I am going to try a more complicated use in the next few weeks and will update if there is any change, but I am 100% convinced and a believer. This is way too easy! I hope this review was helpful!

> 3 dayI never knew these types of HDMI cables existed for wireless displays, but they work amazing. Straightforward and to the point to instructions and they work flawlessly for me.
