Greater than one weekThis 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 dayGiven that it was literally the best deal available when I got it, I am genuinely impressed with how well this HDMI transmitter receiver set worked. I just plugged the transmitter into the device HDMI output and the receiver into my television HMDI input, and the USB power ends into the closest USB ports around, and boom, it just paired up and worked automatically, transmitting quality picture and sound right away. I plugged the receiver into my GoPro Hero 8 Black Media Mod HDMI output (well, the normal HDMI end of a cable that adapts the media mods micro-HDMI) and the power-USB end into a USB battery pack and - Awesome! - instant zero-lag casting from the GoPro camera to the television without any software, cloud, subscriptions, complicated pairing configurations, apps, wifi hotspots, etc. Finally an easy answer to this problem - AND! - it was really cheap! Just a fantastic buy and Im very satisfied; I recommend highly without hesitation.

Greater than one weekI use these to hook a computer up to a monitor for testing and initially they worked right out of the box without any kind of setup or configuration. After that is a different story. When I disconnected the receiver from the monitor and connected it to a TV I can never get them to display a picture again. I went through all the steps to resync the transmitter and receiver for the instructions to no avail. Im not sure what the issue is but after half an hour of messing around with them I gave up and decided it wasnt worth my time. Something like this just should work without having to fiddle around with it each and every time you want to use it.

Greater than one weekThis is a very easy to use HD antenna set that includes one dedicated transmitter and one dedicated receiver (and they’re each clearly labeled). It’s pretty much just plug and play since each end instantly recognizes the other and connects (though you may have to attach the included USB power supplies to them to get them to work). The picture quality is basic 1080p so don’t expect to be able to stream 4K content with these, but they’re a great option for work-related presentations or projectors that only offer 1080p resolution anyway. Overall, this is a well made and easy to use pair of basic HD antennas that sells for a pretty fair price. Four stars.

> 3 dayThe Wireless HDMI Transmitter and Receiver worked well for both video and sound. I was able to send 1080p Full HD video and sound at 60fps with no noticeable latency. The dongles felt a bit too flimsy and can be squeezed almost too easily. The caps needed to be attached to the units with at least a string so that they dont get misplaced. Both the transmitter and receiver MUST be powered via the micro-USB ports. Pairing was easily done by holding down the button on the transmitter.

> 3 dayIve been begging for years hoping a wireless HDMI would someday exist and seeing this product go live I jumped at the sight to try it out. It was so easy to set up that literally anybody could pick it up and know exactly what to do. The hdmis are labeled so it was barely even a few minutes to set up to see literal magic before my eyes. I was actually blown away with how far technology has come and will be looking into buying more!

> 3 dayThis is much more convenient than the other wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver kit that I have to use separate power wart. It works very well with most of my TVs, except for the very old one that doesnt have a USB port to power this. Theres a short delay, about 1/4 of a second, from the source laptop to the TV. Its only noticeable when I have audio output on the laptop while watching the TV. The lips doesnt sync. This is an issue when I output audio from laptop to the stereo amp. The way to remediate this is to take the audio output from the TV to the amp; that way the video and audio are in sync.

17-11-2024Im a little torn on the price, however it is what it is and you know what youre willing to pay or not. So Ill leave that alone because in the end, it worked quite well. I didnt feel very much lag at all when using it with a projector as an extension of my desktop and it served my needs in my office perfectly. My only concern is how hot the connectors get when plugged in. It seems like they might do well to incorporate a small heatsink on the HDMI connector ends to try to combat that. It wasnt so hot I felt like it would burn me or anything, but it was still hot enough to make me think to disconnect them whenever not in use just to be safe.

> 3 dayI am using this product to replace a long HDMI cable between my laptop and an HDMI projector. This lets me watch online movies projected onto a larger screen on a wall, and do so without worrying about tripping over a long cable. The wireless HDMI link is working great, and I love this product! Initially, however, I ran into an intermittent - but major - problem of sometimes getting black blank screen where an online movie - such as Amazon Prime movies and certain YouTube movies - should be showing. (But I was able to resolve this issue, as explained below.) INTERMITTENT PROBLEM - BLANK SCREEN FOR ONLINE MOVIES: As mentioned, this problem manifests itself as a black blank screen where an online movie should have been displayed. And I immediately knew this issue was related to HDCP. (NOTE: HDCP = High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Not to be confused with HDMI, which is High-Definition Multimedia Interface.) From the sellers product description, my understanding is that this wireless HDMI dongle pair does support HDCP. (Without the HDCP, online movies cannot be transmitted via HDMI; this results in a black blank screen I was intermittently seeing.) So on paper, I shouldnt have any problem sending online movies from my laptop to the HDMI projector over the wireless link using this product, functionally replacing a physical HDMI cable. But in practice, at least based on my experience, the wireless transmission of HDCP seemed glitchy. I would often see a blank movie screen soon after I set up the wireless dongle pair. This was not too bad, as I could usually resolve it by simply trying again or waiting a little. But even after I start watching an online movie successfully, the blank black screen would return intermittently and unpredictably, usually 20~40 seconds at a time. This was very annoying especially in the middle of a movie. Note that this blank screen was happening only with protected movie contents involving HDCP, such as major motion pictures. I didnt experience any issues when watching non-protected YouTube videos or for just projecting a regular laptop screen / power point presentation, etc. THE SOLUTION: I read on the Internet that it is possible to strip HDCP data by placing an HDMI splitter in the HDMI signal chain, in order to resolve issues related to HDCP. So I tried an HDMI switch/splitter box I had on hand (ASIN: B09MJ176NR), and placed it in between the laptop and the transmitter dongle in the HDMI signal chain. And this worked like a charm! No more blank screen, and now I can reliably watch any online contents using the HDMI projector. ADDITIONAL TIPS: As is described in the instruction manual, the HDMI dongles (the transmitter and receiver) may require 5V DC power supplied through a micro USB port found on each dongle. For more wireless convenience, I am currently using a large USB power bank, placed on top of the HDMI projector, to power the HDMI receiver dongle plugged into the back of the projector. On the transmitter side, I discovered that extra power may not be required for the transmitter dongle when it is plugged into the HDMI splitter box (being used for stripping HDCP data, as explained above.) Apparently, the HDMI port could supply enough power, at least when plugged into the splitter box. (Your mileage may vary, depending on the specific connected device.) CONCLUSION The glitchy HDCP data transmission resulting in blank screens for online movies (doesnt affect non-protected digital contents) is unfortunate, even though I was able to resolve it by adding an HDMI splitter box. With that issue resolved, I couldnt be happier with the wireless convenience this product provides. So overall I am rating this product 4 stars, deducting one star for the intermittent blank screen issue that happens when transmitting protected digital contents (eg., online movies.) I still do recommend this (or a similar) product, because I find the wireless HDMI link so convenient. But if your use case involves protected contents sent over the wireless HDMI link, be ready to add an HDMI splitter box to resolve the intermittent blank screen issue you too may experience.
