Product Review (submitted on October 29, 2015):
For a corporate use trial, we actually ordered this device and two others (1- Microsoft
Wireless Display Adapter, and 2- Actiontec SBWD100KIT01 ScreenBeam Kit Wireless Display
Receiver & Transmitter for Non-WiDi Laptops/ Miracast Devices). The Nyrius was definitely
the best. The Microsoft device actually requires Windows 8.1 or Android 4.2.1 OS (or other
patches), which is seriously limiting. The Actiontec worked well once installed, but
required an initial setup to mate the transmitter and receiver, then also an application
install for every new device (laptop) to project. The Actiontec also forced a resolution
change on the projecting laptop, in two of our trials. The Nyrius is TRULY PLUG-AND-PLAY.
No software/app to install, no adjustments to screen resolution, etc. Just plug in and
it's projecting. Instantly.
The picture quality itself is brilliant (in fairness, so was the picture quality from the
Actiontec). The Nyrius appears to very easily cycle between channels to assure itself
improved quality whenever a channel is getting less than perfect.
The only small negative is that the HDMI transmitter also requires power from a
neighboring USB plug, so it's one extra cord to connect.
And, of course, it's the most expensive of the three. So if you don't need the multi-user
plug-and-play ease, then maybe the Actiontec is right for you to save some money!
