It works, but the picture jumps periodically

I bought it in order not to cut the wall to stretch the HDMI cable to the TV installed above the fireplace. It was very easy to set up and worked well in most cases. When I turn on the TV for the first time, I sometimes see a blue setup screen for a long time before the picture appears. In most cases, the blue screen will disappear after about 2 seconds. Several times I noticed that the picture freezes / jumps. It got pretty bad one day in particular, but after I restarted the transmitter box…

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • sad packaging

This product is not working properly

Hardly worth a review. although I am indebted to other buyers for such wireless HDMI connectivity. This product is not working properly. The 2 transmitters are only 5 feet apart with no obstructions and yet the setup continues to turn on and off properly and when I was dying to try other things I reset the device(s) by changing the devices disconnected from the mains or reconnected. This happens intermittently, no connection/display, and there's no rhyme/reason for the inconsistency; The only…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Unsure

Read before you buy.

The product arrived well packaged. Delivered on time. Very easy to set up. However, performance is less than good. I would say good at best. The picture isn't great. Many things can contribute to a bad picture. Cable, TV, Cable/Satellite TV. I have 4 TVs in my room. I use high quality HDMI cables. TV brand new 4K Samsung. On other TVs that are "wired", the picture is perfect. I chose this product to avoid wiring to the TV behind the bar. I will install this hard wire as soon as possible. Do not

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Fits

A good solution for those who need it.

This is light years ahead of my old 5GHz composite video transmitter. It supported 2 receivers and the audio latency was acceptable, but in the end the video quality was poor. And when something came across (people, dogs, chairs) along the way, the signal disappeared. The WS55 takes a little longer to boot up (about 2-4 seconds if the HDMI input was off. Blue Nyrius Screensaver is on during this time), but digital audio and video are solid and the audio lag isn't annoying. Sync between the two…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Might as well flush $240 down the toilet

I have nothing but issues with this product . It did what it was supposed to do, about 20% of the time with decent quality. Most of the time I had to disconnect and reconnect the wireless to get it working, as well as reconnect the wireless by pressing the reconnect button on each device. If you want a good wireless transceiver, spend the extra $100 and buy another brand. This is a toy compared to other devices. The customer was fine but often delayed the issue and for a replacement they ask…

Pros
  • HIGH DEFINITION DIGITAL SIGNAL - Wirelessly transmits crystal clear HD video and audio with low latency through walls, ceilings and floors (streaming provides maximum visibility)
Cons
  • Some minor issues

Not very happy with product

For reference, my two devices are about 5 feet apart and separated by an interior wall. Out of the box, installation was easy and everything seemed to work fine. But when I watch TV through the receiver, I lost the sound if I interrupted the signal by changing the channel, pausing a program, or switching to a DVR program. The only way to get the sound back is to turn the device off and on again. This takes about 2 minutes and is very annoying. After watching a channel continuously for about 30…

Pros
  • PLUG 'N PLAY - Easy installation eliminates the need for expensive and inconvenient cables. No software or Wi-Fi connection required.
Cons

Is the sound a little off? Broken 2 months after update

I've had an IOGear for almost five years , and it suddenly stopped working. I replaced it with this device. It is truly a plug and play device and the picture quality is excellent. I feed him Roku on my main TV with a second TV not far away in the kitchen. But first with both TVs I had to unplug the second TV because it might have been on a different channel. as out of sync as the audio was. With IOGear, the audio was perfectly in sync and you couldn't even tell the other TV was on. Since it…

Pros
  • TWO SEPARATE DISPLAY ENVIRONMENTS - Use HDMI pass-through for a wired and wireless video setup, allowing you to view a source on two displays at the same time
Cons
