Original comment: This is what I use for my home projector. Have vaulted ceilings and running wires was nearly impossible. I bought mine from Best Buy. Love it! Remote can take multiple tries to switch or turn off but, I'm also using the crappy batteries that were included. No loss of picture or resolution, never a problem with dropped picture in general. I did have one time where I thought the HDMI cable went out and it was the receiver, needed restarted. Besides those 2 things, I love mine! Worth the money for my situation PLUS there are 2 HDMI ports! Hope this helps!

So I'm looking to purchase a wireless HDMI system (and a TV), so I've done a bit of research. Everything below is from what I've read, not from experience.

For connecting a PC to a TV, there are four main options:

• Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI) is the first of two technologies generally called "wireless HDMI." It transmits in the 5Ghz spectrum. Pros: 5Ghz can pass through walls; lots of hardware options to choose from; latency is on the order of low single digits miliseconds; transfer rate is enough for 1080p uncompressed. Cons: I've read a little suggesting that though the 1080p video quality is extremely good, it's not quite uncompressed; probably not the best choice for resolutions above 1080p, possible interference with other devices in similar spectrum. Basic kits usually run around $200.
  
  
• Wireless HD is the second technology frequently called wireless HDMI. It broadcasts in the 60Ghz spectrum. The pros and cons are similar to WHDI. However, this signal does not penetrate walls and requires the transmitter and receiver to be in the same room, ideally with line of sight. On the other hand, the transfer rate is even faster than WHDI and interference with other signals is less likely. Hardware cost around $200.
  
  
• Intel WiDi Many laptops come with an Intel WiDi (Wireless Display) transmitter these days. The technology is good for video, but latency tends to be high enough that it's not great for anything but turn-based games. Data transfer rates are also lower than the two WHDMI technologies, but probably adequate. A transmitter + receiver kit is on the order of $80.
  
  
• Steam wireless streaming Streams over your WiFi network. The good news is that it doesn't require any additional hardware to set up, but depending on your Internet speeds, reliability, number of concurrent users, etc., the resulting stream may be low quality and/or high latency. Oh, and it's not released yet, though there is a public beta.
  
  All that said, I'm planning to be a WHDI kit like this one so I can transmit through walls. But I'm certainly open to corrections of the above or recommendations for either a wireless HDMI solution or a TV (which I also need to purchase...looking for something budget-ish in the 50" ballpark)

This is the one I use. I've never had any issues with it.

> as the wireless isn't great here

You're probably going to run into lots of problems with WiFi-based solutions like ChromeCast and MiraCast. Chromecast is $30, you can try it and see.

The alternatives are a lot more expensive. I'd start with the DVDO Air3C and then move to the Iogear GW3DHDKIT if that doesn't work.

Nice but pricy 1600$. Is it 5ghz ?

Did something similar with a raspberry pi running as AP with a Ngix server pushing a H264 stream, that had slightly more latency than this 50-150 mS but cost 1/50 of this.

Googled around: 160$ for home use, 5ghz

Closer to home and less bulky 186$ http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-GW3DHDKIT-Wireless-Digital-Channel/dp/B00630WKGI?SubscriptionId=AKIAJM4NKIQGABP2PIRA&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00630WKGI&tag=thewire06-20&ascsubtag=WC15048

There is a standard for home hdmi local links called WHDI on 5ghz THIS! can be hacked with better antennas and a booster from China to make a nice cheap link. Latency is also a concern in home entertainment as people play games on their tvs the last link iO-Gear should have low latency.

i use one of these for my sky box

you would set the screen to duplicate the desktop oin each display then set the audio to go through the wireless HDMI box so it gets presented to the denon amp

I use the this. Works great.

I use this does the job. 1080p, can do video playback and gaming, no need to use the AC adaptor for the receiver if you just plug the mini USB to a free USB port on your TV.

Use a wireless HDMI (example here) to hook up the 2nd screen, then just set the mirroring in the OS. Easiest way to do this I can think of. Assumes you have an open HDMI port and $200 to throw down.

I have this (not exact same model) and it works great for super short distances, although not nearly as great as they advertise, and it's only 60fps. But something specially designed along those lines for the Vive would be great.

Or get a wireless HDMI like this

look into hdmi transmitters. apparently they work, would be easier than modding a monitor

Slightly bigger than chromecast, but it sounds like what you're looking for

For under $200US you can get one of these which will give you fine 1080p video and 5.1 sound.

I always run into scope creep when I do things like this though. If this is $200, for $400 I could just put a dedicated htpc on the tv.

Yes, but they are expensive and the reviews are very mixed:

Video is a lot of bandwidth. Transmitting it wirelessly isn't very easy.

I use this.

So, I did some research and found out I would need an hdmi transmitter and receiver. Such as this one off Amazon http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-GW3DHDKIT-Wireless-Digital-Channel/dp/B00630WKGI. Also, this youtube video helps a ton https://youtu.be/ROX-r_kHPks

I use these, they work really well.

Googling "hdmi output splitter" brought up several that would do what you want.

You'll want to make sure to check into each to see what the (if any) delay is as many of these will introduce some delay.

My setup has IOGear wireless HDMI boxes which allows for a passthrough as well as the remote output so in effect, it does the same.
The remote (to the TV) does have a slight delay compared to the pass-through (to the monitor), but it isn't too bad.

really there isn't an all in one solution for this.

You can get Wireless HDMI kits like this

and then you'd still need to split the HDMI audio into something else. The wireless video is easy, just the audio is the hard part.

If you must: IOGEAR Wireless 3D Digital Kit with Full HD 1080P and 5.1 Channel Digital Audio, GW3DHDKIT https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00630WKGI/

A lot would depend on the setup and intended outcome, but there are a few options.

One option could be to use some sort of wireless transceiver like AT&T offers - the commercials about moving the TV anywhere, even outside. Example @ Amazon. I think I have seen setups that allow a few TVs, but for the most part it is just for a second, maybe third, screen. Those other TVs would see whatever is going to the main screen and only what was on the main screen unless you setup the channel changing part (but that would just allow others to change the channel on the main screen from their remote location) or had other inputs, like the more "traditional" cable distribution methods.

I second this, I have one that streams across the house with no loss issues. They are a little pricey, but well worth it. http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-GW3DHDKIT-Wireless-Digital-Channel/dp/B00630WKGI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415114821&sr=8-1&keywords=iogear+wireless+hdmi

IOGear GW3DHDKIT

I am using a wireless HDMI transmitter, instead of running a very long HDMI cable to my projector. Am I able to hook that up to the receiver and still use all of those inputs? I want that receiver, but I don't want the cable running along the wall.

Here's a link to the transmitter that I am using.

Have you considered going with Wireless HDMI? They are quite expensive but it’s worth looking into, the solution may also too laggy so consider buying it from somewhere where returns are easy and guaranteed.

We bought one of these for a projector on the ceiling at our church and it was pretty damned reliable.

Are you looking for something like this or This

I looked into these over the past couple weeks and some have better reviews and more/less lag then others. Personally I don't want to shell out $150-$200 so I'm going to run a 40' HDMI cable from my pc down through the basement then up to my living room tv

I have three of these. Work perfectly. Plug it directly in the HDMI port of the laptop, good to go. Occasional user issues, usually just users forget how to change between "Extend" and "Duplicate" by doing Windows Key + P. Price isn't bad. If need be, we can also sync them to the same channel to do multi-room presentation. (Only two are in range of each other). The problem is we can't use software/network solutions as 50% of our users using the adapter/connecting to TV's are customers or vendors, and are either a) Not connected to our internal network VLAN (private SSID) and are usually on our Public network VLAN (public SSID), and also sometimes cannot install software. So we have to stick to a simple hardware connector. I have a VGA to Female HDMI adapter that gets power off a USB port as well we use occasionally when customers do not have HDMI, which is rare these days. Also a MiniDisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

They make wireless HDMI kits. http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-GW3DHDKIT-Wireless-Digital-Channel/dp/B00630WKGI Also it is pretty easy to pull up the edges of carpet and run wires under your molding.
