I agree, the way I’d use this as a second display for when I’m gaming with friends and to check discord messages as I have my PC hooked up to my TV since I don’t have a monitor so having this right beside me would make a huge difference in being able to either switch between discord channels or just reading discord messages and other smaller uses.

Agreed. Being limited to only facing the direction of the transmitter feels like a really weird trade-off, over having to reposition the device your connected to. I can’t even really buy into the “gaming on the go” selling point, because you’re having to pack extra materials over using a similar monitor with a more typical connector. Cool tech, though. Hope it gets better.

It makes sense for having it on the little prop up stand with the receiver somewhere behind it, but that's way too limited a use scenario. Like at least five ways to do it better and not limit position
A small correction: 60Ghz is not necessarily 5G. Just as transmissions on 2.4Ghz are not all WiFi. Bluetooth, RC transmitters and wireless mouse/keyboard dongles also transmit on 2.4Ghz. Instead these frequencies are open for anyone to use without license, while sticking within defined power limits and without causing interference to others. In this case I am pretty sure that they are not using 5G, but using their own protocol instead.

This tech seems most viable for wireless PCVR, it’s the main use I’ve seen talked about with it lately Most theoretical implementations place a few receivers and transmitters on multiple points around the headset so they always have line of sight with the hub, supposedly the Pimax 12k QLED and Valve’s next headset will have it.

It's not step backwards because there was never a technology allowing raw HD video without latency at penetrable frequencies, because it's not physically possible. The only workarounds are compression and maybe foveation (based on eye tracking), but raw data is at its physical limits of the width of the wave. Even 5G already uses similar frequencies (as addition to the old ones) that also have occlusion issues for phones to achieve high bandwidth and it will only get worse in the future with 6G - expect antennas everywhere inside big public buildings. Physics won't change...
11:43 Noooooo! Path loss increases with frequency. Pumping enough energy in is the reason it doesn't "get interrupted by a whole bunch of stuff" - it very much does. Higher frequency = higher bandwidth, higher attenuation. The power received is roughly proportional to the wavelength squared and the power transmitted in a free path scenario, and lower frequency waves diffract on more obstacles. There's a reason extremely high frequency (compared to radio, anyway) visible light doesn't go straight through the walls ;)

Edit: Being able to use my desktop/laptop specs for gaming while comfortably looking at this screen on my bed is definitely a plus in my books.
I'm not sure wireless displays are that great of an idea - replacing a transmitter sounds a lot more expensive than replacing a cable. That is, if future wireless monitors even allow you to replace the transmitter and don't just expect you to throw the old one away and buy an entire new product like with some of Apple's latest questionable products.

Hmmm, I don't know. This is more specific than a dedicated transmitter before. And those LoS things are very important. The only thing that I can think of is just for presentation convenience.
Could you close the transmitter in a book bag beside you without interference?
can you use the USB OTG and plug in a keyboard and mouse to it?

Crazy range as in within a house. mmWave is quite short in outdoor metrics in 5G tech. 3.5ghz is miles line of sight and and mmwave is under a mile
Thing is, they need to have it run in dual band if they want to eliminate finicky cutting out. Higher latency secondary channel that it falls back to whenever corruption is detected on the low-latency high frequency channel. You might get occasional lag, but for the most part, most people probably wouldn't notice. Of course, that would probably cut into battery life as both channels would need to be broadcast and processed simultaneously or you'd still get a big lag kick during the transition.
The only use case I think which is necessary is as a portable monitor but then just get a wired portable monitor , if it had a stylus I would think it would be much more useful
I really wanted to test this monitor with my Time Sleuth to test this "No Lag" display alongside the RetroTink 5X and an Analogue Pocket. Hopefully I get to someday!
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out the justification of choosing that thing over the ROG Strix XG15AHPE for portable gaming. Maybe if you REALLY need it to be wireless but I don't really see the point ?
What i wish for that... a second version, normal battery support AAA for example, 2.4Ghz support even if it is jankie but it supports better blocked areas (i can see this as a serverroom tablet) and maybe a network variant of this instead of a company made dongle thingy
Display disconnects a million times... ShortCircuit: It works pretty good. Seriously ???
This is such a cool product... until the line of sight issue comes into play, what you really want is to have your gaming pc in your bedroom and the display in the living room, but if I cant have the signal interrupted the best way I could config this is both in pc and display in the living room and I can just move anywhere freely in that one room.
It can be use as a presentation monitor. Where if anyone want to see the same thing but sit it different direction. But then it will still be the limited use case
USB OTG is a feature on phones that let's you use USB devices like mice and keyboards when plugged into your device USB port (with a dongle)
This is the same wireless technology that is used on the vive wireless. Virtually zero latency in my experience. I dig it!

If only orientation wasn't important. I could totally see putting the puck on the sealing connected to my main PC with cables and then just walking around the room with the screen that now "has" my desktops power available.

I feel like this would have been so much better if they extended the bezel a bit and put the antenna along the edge of the display, so it didn't matter which way the display faced. Having to keep the line of sight with back of display makes it a very inconvenient product to use.
That title reminded me of another great yt-channel: look mom no computer Retro stuff turning into sound, really nice :D
Please review the wireless transmitor Hollyland
The main use case I would think of is like having a bigger portable screen for traveling with like a switch or something. But at that point the wireless seems kind of pointless
That price is def a bit too steep for its capabilities. You can get a portable OLED monitor, 16", for around $300 if you use a wire. Curious to see how the tech progresses though!

Really should have an extendable receiver, or at least make it work from front and back (put it on the corner and dual-sided?). 5G is very much line of site as the video clearly pointed out, so making this wireless display have such limited options for positioning seems like a design flaw, especially at the asking prices.
60ghz is the only MM wave opened for general use (in the US at least, which means for you too essentially)
Cool new tech, for certain use cases. Thx.
I feel like this would be nice to walk around the house with if you work from home. BUT. Not being able to go around the corner kills the product along with the price

That display hooked up to a phone with usb-c for long trips, great for planes cuz instead of a laptop you can eat and watch something in a plane
How about wireless Steam index?
To me, the real use case would be if they made it a real stationary monitor that you can put on your desk beside you pc and make you setup nicer by getting rid of a cable.
"interference" TIL is objects in path, not interfering signals. Also TIL "5G" is or isn't equal to ISM 60GHz
I actually travel quite a bit for work and built a sff pc that packs into a backpack (kb, mouse, pc, monitor w/stand, etc.) this would be great since cabling can be an issue....but I'd want the 17" and I just don't know that I could justify $999 for that. If they had a 17" 1080p 120 or 144hz model, I'd consider spending up to $599 for that 🤔great review though!
How much does the display cost?
