4.0 out of 5 stars this one works!!, October 5, 2009

By	Don Lj Campbell "chatham_NY" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, and flat out false advertising, November 12, 2009

By	pcbuilder (Portland) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slick Conference Room Setup, November 1, 2009

By	Dan Billings (Louisville, Kentucky) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I installed this device two weeks ago because my boss wanted to eliminate the mess of wires on the table during conference room presentations. This is the only device I found that would do this and deliver audio and video to the plasma TV. Setup on the HP Vista Business (32-bit) laptop was simple and quick. Software interface is very simple. Video playback is great for powerpoint and the likes, but movie playback has some slight jerkiness that would cause me to not use this for regular TV/movie viewing. Audio plays clear and syncs pretty well with the picture, but again, this is not for your home theater. For web browsing, streaming video, or standard office applications, this gadget is very nice, and you could use it for watching movies, but there are better choices for a permanent theater setup.
