The Blackbird Pro’s wireless technology differs from that of our other picks and requires line-of-sight between the transmitter and receiver, so this system works only as an in-room option, and you will experience stability issues if obstructions sit between the two boxes. (Monoprice hasn’t been clear about this update, so much of the online documentation still says the maximum resolution is 1080p/60, but our tests confirmed that it works with 4K.) This system has been our budget pick for years, and a recent upgrade has made it even better: It now supports video signals with a resolution up to 4K/30 Hz. If you’re looking for an easy, affordable way to wirelessly transmit an AV signal across a room-perhaps from a Blu-ray player to a front projector that’s mounted on the back wall or the ceiling-we recommend the Monoprice Blackbird Pro 16049. If you don’t need the HDMI output and the second HDMI input, you can save $50 and get the Nyrius Aries Home instead. The transmitter has two HDMI inputs to connect multiple sources at once, as well as an HDMI output to pass those signals through to a nearby TV.īecause the Aries Home+ is so full featured, it costs a bit more than most competitors.
The Aries Home+ also supports infrared pass-through, so you can control your source device when it’s located in another room. Plus, this system boasts the widest array of features, including support for 7.1-channel surround sound (most of these systems support only stereo audio) and the ability to power the receiver unit through your TV’s USB port so you don’t have to plug it into a power outlet. In our tests, the Nyrius Aries Home+ consistently delivered the most stable, reliable wireless signal and offered great picture quality overall. Unfortunately, that’s what you get from many wireless HDMI video transmitters, especially if you’re trying to send the AV signal wirelessly over a long distance, through multiple walls. There’s nothing worse than sitting down to watch TV and having the video signal freeze, flash on and off, or disappear entirely.
