Why is this technology being kept a secret? Review by cambrogio

The wife has had it with cables. She wondered why we couldn't go wireless. No one in the stores seemed to know what I was talking about.....Wireless HDMi. They kept showing me Roku boxes and such. I stumbled on to this unit while looking for another Vizio TV on Vizio's website. It works great. Very easy set up. We're in "testing" mode right now, before we go into final installation on the wall. Transmitter is about 20 feet away in another room. I just plugged both units in and they connected in about 30 seconds. Rock solid picture and sound. Walking between the signal is not a problem. I have an X-10 Remote Control Extender, so it's like the Cable Box is in the same room. I recommend this product and ask the question....why is this not carried at retail? Oh, remote control battery was dead. Replaced it and remote works fine. Great job Vizio!

Added to a conference room Review by Buckeye

We recently added this to one of our conference rooms at work to connect any number of devices to the flat screen mounted on the wall. Its works as documented and we even mounted the receiver on the wall behind the t.v.

The only complaint we have experienced is that we seem to have to power off the unit and power it back on whenever we connect it to a laptop. Once we reboot it, it works flawlessly.

Good Unit Review by Wireless1633

Works good. Im a low tech person and took me awhile to put it together with my Vizio 55' and my Vizio 3D blu ray player and my Vizio router in the other room. Finally got it to work. I also have one disappointment. States on packing list that included the template but it didnt.

Great Unit! 3D and 2D without wires!!! Review by rcbickle

This is an "out of the box review". I recommend this product.

This unit replaces an LG Wireless HDMI kit, so I am familiar both with the technology and the limitations.

The units - SMALL! They were both very small, especially in comparison to the units they replaced. This allowed for easy placement on top of my DVR.

Placement - NO ISSUES. For my application, I placed the receiver under the television in a wall cut out designed for the television to sit in so that it is barely visible under the frame of the television. I place the receiver 25 feet away inside a wood media cabinet on top of my DVR. NOTE: I USE THE UNITS WITH THE DOORS CLOSED. the tow units face each other, straight line of site, at six feet above floor level for transmitter, four feet for the receiver.

Hook-up - SIMPLE. Two small adapters provide the power for each unit (included). Two HDMI cables with 90 Degree connectors on one end are provided. I recommend replacing these with higher quality cables (reason follows). Hook up was fast and straight forward. Instructions were included but NOT required really. The product design and use is very simple and straight forward.

HDMI Cables - NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR 3D. For 2D televison from my TiVO, the picture was EXCELLENT. When I went to Blu Ray 3D, the picture was terrible. After swapping the HDMI cables provided for some of my own that I trusted, the 3D picture was EXCELLENT. My advice, use your own high speed 1.4a cables.

Picture - GREAT PICTURE. 2D mode was flawless. 3D mode, after installing qualiyt HDMI cables, was also flawless. I tested it with 3 Blu Ray Movies (Tangles, Tron, and How to Train Your Dragon) at was very satisfied. I also tested it with Comcast 3D (A concert and a College Football game) again, no issues.

Sound - PERFECT SOUND. I use a high end AV Amplifier for movies, so the sound transfer was not tested in surround modes. I did utilize the television speakers for broadcast video and found no issues with sound.

3D mode - WORKED AS ADVERTISED. The only issue you may encounter is taht if the Blu Ray player is switching between sections for too long, when it reappears the television my think it is a new 3D signal and require you to accept the warnings. I actually fault the television manufacturer for this issue since the TV should allow me to turn off the warning.

Interference - NO PROBLEMS SEEN. I have plenty of sources for interference in the room. Beyond the EMI generated within the media cabinet and the television, cell phones, laptops, and an N Router all coexist in the same room. I saw no issues with radio interference. I also have seen complaints of interference from people moving in the room with other units. I saw no issue of that with this unit (even though I had my son and wife move around the room, stand in the way of the units, etc.)

Use - AVERAGE. The switching is delayed, as it is with all HDMI switches for wireless HDMI. I saw no improvement over the old unit. Powering on and off not an issue. I think that a video indication of the input number during the switching would be a great feature to add.

Remote - ADEQUATE. No issues. Thin, small, easy to use, easy to loose (personal problem in my household, not a Vizio issue). Use a watch battery that is included. Remove the plastic isolator and away you go.

Summary - A GOOD SOLUTION. This unit does allow you to use your 3D or 2D television without an HDMI cable. It is small, easy to install, and provides a good result. I reccomend thsi product.

Good Unit Review by joe

This is a good unit. Works as stated. Picture looks great. Range is not very good. At one point I had the unit turned the wrong way and stepped between the signal and lost the picture. Once I repossitioned, all was OK. Also, mine did not come with the (included) mounting template and (non-included) mounting hardware. I thought that Vizio should have included the hardware since it takes very specific screws to mount it (very shallow head). The unit is light and can be mounted simply with double sided tape. There is a lag when switching inputs, however this is plainly stated in the owners manual and is normal, if not a bit annoying.

All its issues is worth not having to cut up my living room walls to run cable to and interior wall.
