Review on 📺 Tripp Lite B136-101 Component Video with Stereo Audio Extender over Cat5/Cat6 - Full HD Transmitter and Receiver, Black by Barber Miller

I recently bought a 51 inch 720p flat screen TV for my living room. We watched TV in our home theater (96 inch, 1080p). front projection system with 5.1 surround sound and a large subwoofer), but I really wanted to be able to enjoy the TV with the lights on and save myself the theater for real movies. expensive options I ordered this item with a 100ft universal CAT6 cable. The first thing I did was hook it up to a Vizio BluRay player next to the TV using a 100ft cable and Trip Lite connectors. The video on the BluRay player was set to 720p to match the TV's resolution. I switched between HDMI and component and noticed two things. When using an adapter, the picture will be a little softer and the sound will be a little less "full". Up close I see ghosting and small image distortions appear and disappear on the screen. None of this is visible from my couch. I blame the audio differences for comparing a 5.1 channel HDMI signal to a 2.0 RCA connection. BTW the picture looks about the same with a 3ft patch cord, so I guess cord length doesn't matter much. an increase in quality, although halos and other artifacts are preserved. After testing was complete, I ran a cable to a DirecTV HD DVR in the basement. The DVR is set to 1080i output to support our projector via HDMI. The results were almost the same as in the BluRay test. I've tried lowering the resolution of the DVR to 720p but didn't see any improvement in picture quality so I'll leave it at 1080i as the DVR doesn't broadcast at 1080p over component cables. This thing isn't perfect, and I can't help but think it would be better if they applied some power to the transmitting end to boost the signal a bit. I'll probably spend some time looking for better (more expensive) options, but if you're looking for a sub-$100 solution (adapter and cable) to transmit component video over Ethernet, I think this one is the one is a practical way.
