Product Review (submitted on October 29, 2015):

Excellent product, once you realize the small part that looks like a USB stick or a Chromecast actually plugs into the SOURCE, not your TV. The company should silkscreen SOURCE or Transmitter onto that part, and DISPLAY or Receiver onto the large box that plugs into the TV. I see other reviewers making the same statement here so I know that I am not alone!

Also, I think it is pretty cheap of Nyrius to not include a cheap ($1 or so to add it) USB power plug in the box. I'm sure they expect some of their customers will shoot video from a laptop with a free USB port with this device, but I am also sure many will be sending video from cable boxes, AV receivers, or game systems where USB ports are less readily available. Not the end of the world, but annoying when I realized that I would have to buy one, or borrow one from another device.

EDIT: This usb power plug thing is more of a hassle than I realized. I tried a 500ma and 1a plug and in both instances the blue light on the Source end would light up and seem like things were working but then it would never connect, or if it did connect then I would get large green blocky patches in the video. Swapping out for a higher quality 2.1a usb power port solved all of these problems. This merely reinforces my earlier comment about it being "cheap" of Nyrius to NOT include this part in a $200 product!!

I was able to transmit video from one room to another, and even one floor of the house to another, without any trouble. The range topped out around 20-25 ft through some walls and may be longer with fewer obstructions. I did not notice interference from other devices as mentioned by a business user. It worked great with various sources including a Raspberry Pi and multiple displays including a projector.
