 Best Solution on the Market October 31, 2008

Representing a fairly large school district, we considered buying this product to use with our tablet pc's and mounted projectors. The first product we tried (PC2TV) did not even come close the features and quality of this product. Their solution uses wi-fi (802.11G) standard to connect which is very slow in comparison and interferes with our regular network traffic. When you have a lab with 30+ wireless tablets, you cannot spare the bandwidth for the pc2tv device. The IOGEAR product fixes all that.
Using the new Wireless USB standard (haven't seen another device using this tech yet it's so new) it has 9 times the bandwidth of wi-fi (480Mbps). What's that means, is that it can do really high resolutions and be very smooth. I was playing a standard DVD, at 1680X1080 resolution, and boy is it smooth. It does drop a frame here and there, but compared to the pc2tv device, there simply is no comparison.
Tested on Vista. Once the driver is installed, I can plug in the dongle to any usb port and it automatically connects and extends my desktop. To change to clone mode or resolutions, all you have to do right click an icon near the clock (system tray) and pick it. Changing USB ports does not require a driver reinstallation.
The dongle and the device come pre-associated, so you don't have to worry about the device in the next room interfering. However, if you want to connect to multiple devices, so far the only way is to briefly connect your laptop to the device using the supplied mini usb cable. Hopefully they will have a wireless method to do this in the future.
Works as described, easy to setup. March 22, 2009

This device transmits VGA video ONLY, it is not meant to transmit audio so don't judge it based on that. This is a great way of transmitting video, specifically slide-shows, wirelessly.
We use it for a presentation system in a conference room, the wired VGA out goes to an overhead projector while we use this to drive a secondary LCD display we can move around the room as needed. We've had it work fine with ranges up to 30 feet but keep it at about 20 feet. We use it at 1024x768 resolution, full motion video is touch-and-go but we only need it for display slides and charts/text so it does it's job. The video limitation is due to the maximum transfer speed of the Wireless USB standard so I can't blame the device itself.
It was easy to setup (on Windows XP) with no major issues. It comes with a USB extension cable so you don't have to plug it directly into the PC but you can. If you do plug it into the PC directly it will probably block your other USB ports by virtue of its size.

Bought the product based on written and U tube reviews. Product works great. Wish there was a companion wireless audio to match.

Is perfect for remote monitor across a room from laptop or pc for presentations. My wife uses it to put her recipes on a remote monitor instead of exposing her laptop to the cooking environment. Is a wonderful addition to our kitchen.

This product works excellent. It is connected to a ceiling mounted projector at our church.
The product replaces a vga via cat5 and is faster with better video and image quality.
I purchased a second sender for multiple computers and all connect up with ease. I highly recommend
this product.
