There's a new cheap wireless 4K HDMI system that's super-tempting if you want a cleaner TV or projector setup — but it's held back by limitations on Dolby Atmos, gaming, and picture quality
Cutting the cables is now even cheaper, but it means compromising on some key 4K features
Nyrius has introduced a more budget-friendly wireless 4K HDMI system called the Phoenix Prime 4K30, priced at $99.99 or £83.21 (approximately AU$144). This system offers wireless 4K transmission without the need for Wi-Fi, available in two versions: HDMI-to-HDMI and USB-C to HDMI. Both versions can transmit and receive 4K video resolutions up to 50ft (15.2m) through various obstacles with no range limitations.
However, the Phoenix Prime 4K30 falls short in comparison to other wireless HDMI systems like Samsung's Wireless One Connect Box or LG's Zero Connect, offering limited features such as 30fps and no Dolby Atmos, DTS, or HDR support. Additionally, it has a latency of 90ms, which could be problematic for gaming. Despite these limitations, the Phoenix Prime 4K30 presents a cost-effective solution for users seeking hassle-free 4K connectivity, making it suitable for presentations, video sharing, or eliminating cable clutter. This wireless HDMI system is now available on Nyrius.com and Amazon.
