Review on Tripp Lite HDMI Dual Cat5/Cat6 Extender Transmitter & Receiver for Video/Audio: 1920x1200 1080p @ 24Hz (HDMI M/F) by Kevin Urena

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good solution for HDMI expansion

I bought 3 of these to reduce the size of the TV to the level of TVs where other players used to be. Works great as a computer monitor extension to other rooms. I deducted a star because one of the suites is no longer working. It lasted 3 years but it actually got to the point where it was prone to every kind of glitches and was driving my computer crazy until it completely stopped working. I did another run at home the same way, 2.5x the length of this one, which still works. I'm writing this now as I'm buying another one to replace as I'm not sure if it hasn't been electrocuted at some point. Yes, with distance and in general, I've never gotten them to work in Full HD due to jitter or jumps, but once I find a stable resolution for TVs, I'm ready to go. It gives me the freedom to do anything that's possible on a computer on my set. My setup uses CAT5e with HDMI graphics cards on Windows 10 (and earlier 7). For other rooms, too, I use a third-party multi-display solution for custom taskbars, and also use Tripp Lite USB extenders for remote keyboards and mice. Overall, I'm happy that Tripp Lite allows this with these extensions.

Pros
  • Brilliantly done
Cons
  • Too long to wait
