NPCS549 AV Transmitter and Receiver Black Audio/Video Extender – A/V Extender (Micro-USB A, Power, Status, 0-40°C, -10-55°C, 10-80%, 100-240 V)

I bought this to replace the traditional VGA beamer and screen arrangement in our meeting room. The quality had always been poor but with a relocation the cable runs were just too long. The beamer was junked and I decided to go for a smart TV and connect wirelessly. The important feature was that there should be no requirement to install software on a pc or laptop connected to the display. Visitors need to use the system but may not have admin rights (or even want) to install something.This does just plug and play. Quality is excellent. I have it operating over a distance of just 4 metres. We can swap the transmitter from laptop to laptop and it reconnects.A coupe of points to note:The mains power supplies are US plugs with some pretty rubbish adaptors but I used a USB socket from the TV to power the receiver. BE CAREFUL that they can supply enough current. The first one I tried had a limit of 0.5A and although the receiver lit up and seemed to do all the functions it wouldn't sync up. Moving the power lead to a "full-fat" USB did the trick.The transmitter can be powered from a USB port on the laptop with a piggy-back cable.The transmitter has a standard HDMI connector. If you have HP laptops, they use a different connector. You need to get an HP Display Port to HDMI adaptor - they're readily available for a few quid.Works well and looks a bit flash!

Really difficult to set up as my product didn't appear to come paired to it's own receiver. I attempted to plug the transmitter into my Nintendo Switch dock, but the transmitter is very bulky, and frankly, old fashioned which for a product of this price is unacceptable. It refuses to transmit a signal to the receiver unless there is a perfect line of sight, and even then the connection is unstable. It did not work with my Switch, and only occasionally works with a laptop. Would not recommend.

Although it's seems a lot of money, it is worth it. Plugged into the back of my PC and the receiver into the back of the tv. A couple of seconds and it was up and running. The receiver was quite light, so just tucked easily behind my wallmounted tv. It was not in line of sight, but worked fine, good picture and sound quality. No issues with any signal loss so far. I looked at lots of reviews before making the purchase, I think I made the best choice, no unnecessary cables.

I got this because I needed to connect my QHD monitor wirelessly to my media server PC in the home. My home is not large, but it is a rental; so I needed a solution that had minimal impact on the home itself (i.e. I didn't want to run cables anywhere).The Nyrius Aries Prime (because that is what this model is, despite not being advertised as such on this website) fits these requirements perfectly. Installation was not much more complicated than plugging in a monitor to a PC. Picture quality, audio quality, and no noticeable latency are exactly what I was looking for. (It must be noted, I haven't used it for gaming; I've only used it to stream movies and music.)So why only 3 stars?Firstly, minus a star for the documentation! I needed to understand what was happening with the Nyrius when the PC was awakened from sleep, and what I needed to do; and the enclosed quick start guide didn't cover any of that. Fair enough; it's just a quick start guide. So I downloaded the full user manual from the Nyrius website. Unfortunately, the manual is so inconsistent in its use of terminology that it required some effort to discern the information I was looking for. Also, the sections on OS display and audio settings need revisiting. They use such inconsistent typography for the headings that it's not readily discernable that there are separate sections for display and for audio. Also, they go back to Windows 7, Vista, and XP - and that's fine for those hanging on to old tech - but there's no mention of newer operating systems, even if to reassure the user that no setup is required.Secondly, I bought this item on the Amazon UK website, yet when the item arrived it only had a Canada/US AC power adapter for the receiver! The seller could have been more proactive in any one of a number of ways: Either indicate that in the "what's in the box" section, or add a UK adapter in the package, or sell the UK version (yes, when I looked in the manual it became apparent that there is a UK version). So many options, yet the seller did nothing.So, although there is some good engineering here, the marketing and sales let the side down.

I got this for the firm I work for, as we were tired of trailing an HDMI cable across the meeting room, to the TV. The unit works really well in our environment, where the sender and receiver are in the same, smallish, room.The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is to do with the supplied power connectors... both sender and receiver require power using a mini USB (NOT the usual micro-USB used for phone chargers).. and you are supplied with a single USB to mini cable for the sender and a a bulky mains to mini cable for the receiver... the mains connector is made even worse for requiring an international adapter (supplied). As we ultimately want to mount the receiver behind the TV, I've had to order a separate mains to mini USB connector.One other minor gripe is that the sender is quite bulky and depending on the location of the HDMI socket on your laptop/device, it may well block you from using a nearby USB connector for anything... I've just managed to fit a nano wireless mouse connector next to it, but they still push against each other and it's not exactly pretty!
