Just spotted a new PC Magazine review of that Gefen Wireless HDMI Extender system that began shipping last week. Unfortunately it appears the system could use a bit more tweaking.. but before I get into that, here are some interesting tidbits from the review:

• Easy setup – always a good thing
• Transmitter has a built-in auto-switching HDMI switch (2 HDMI ports)
• Supports up to 1080p/24p video
• Supports two-channel PCM up to 48kHz and Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1 channel audio
• It’s apparently pretty easy to interfere the wireless signal – bleh
• Moving video was OK up to about 30 feet
• Unfortunately some full motion scenes can cause video artifacts to be introduced
• Gaming adds about 85 to 90 ms audio/video delay  – booo

OK.. so here’s the bottom line from PC Mag:

“Gefen’s Wireless HDMI Extender is the first wireless HDMI we’ve tested, but its video-compression scheme can add distracting artifacts that hurt picture quality—plus it’s pricey.”
