I just moved from a house to an apartment and decided there should be a way to cancel cable and just watch Hulu on my 50" plasma for free. I researched online and found this product to have the highest customer rating, so I bought it. I spent an enlightening hour on the phone with their tech support, and here's some things you should know. My apartment is 740sq ft. My computer is located just around a corner and exactly 24 feet from my TV.
1st: the product WILL NOT WORK with Windows 7. They're working on the issue. Yeah, great.
2nd: when they say 30 foot max distance, they mean it and even that is stretching the truth.
3rd: when they don't say anything about REQUIRING a direct line of sight, they are omitting facts. I had to hold the USB piece in mid air with a direct line of sight to the TV and it still only had 2 orange bars (should have 5 green).
4th: other wireless devices WILL interfere with reception, even at different frequencies. The tech told me this. My wireless router was blamed for the choppy video coming across to the TV.

I even hooked it up to my netbook and placed it 12 feet from the TV-- video was still choppy. Bottom line, if you're looking to watch video from the internet on your TV wirelessly, you are ahead of your time. Maybe in a few years someone will figure it out. Iogear is not that someone. I returned for a refund, and Amazon was, as always, absolutely wonderful.

this one works!! October 5, 2009
Quick and basic. I spent three days researching and testing wireless AV (and audio) devices. They ranged from complete failure to almost but not really. I then came across this (the most expensive) and bought it.... This one worked just as it should. It was a little complex for a novice to install (more so than I wanted for the boardroom hook-up I am using it for) than the others, BUT this one had good picture quality (steady and clean) as well as crisp audio. The USB hook-up is simple for our sales and marketing staff to use (once installed on the laptops).

Take time to read the advanced adjustment pages to get best out of it and you'll be poorer, but satisfied.

Spend the extra for this and save HOURS and HOURS of trying to get the others to work.

ONE BIG NOTE: not all of the wireless laptop/pc to LCD systems come with audio, this one does. Check them with care or be dissapointed.

Lastly, this only works with Windows XP and Vista. There is no Mac version. No word on Windows 7 yet.

Don't waste your time and money.
The video portion of it works 'ok'. (Good, not Great)
Very CPU intensive, even on a fairly new laptop. Couldn't do fullscreen.

Wasted one evening trying to get the audio receiver to 'sync' up with
the USB transmitter. Barely got it to work. (Laptop running XP).
The next days, it didn't work anymore.

Tried installing the whole thing on a different laptop. This time, on Vista.
Same damn thing. Video was 'ok', sound was not working. The audio receiver couldn't sync up.
Uninstalled everything. Reinstalled with the latest greatest drivers from iogear's website.
Absolutely no improvement. Read thru all the FAQ, Troubleshooting Guides, googled everything, etc...
Wasted three nights trying to set up that gizmo.... Packed up everything and sent it back.

BUY A SIMPLE GOOD OLD 25 VGA CABLE WITH AUDIO. It doesn't require any convoluted installation, no drivers,
no sound issues, takes 30 seconds to install and it will allow fullscreen display on your big screen TV....
$20 instead of $200.....

This product is a great idea, on paper, but unfortunately, this one from IOGear is not ready yet...

Poor communication, poor image and bad sound. It makes the connection of devices but the quality of transmission is not the best, it affects a lot.
