Cables To Go TrueLink WirelessHD Kit Preview [0.21] by tom,May 09, 2010 18:00

The Cables To Go TrueLink WirelessHD kit is plug and play with no setup or software required. It is HDMI 1.3 compatible and supports true 1080p video and 7.1 audio. There are power buttons on both the transmitter and the receiver so that if you decide to conserve power you can. There is an auto power function that automatically turns off the attached component when the transmitter is turned off. On each device there is a single HDMI connection. While we wish there would be more, it seems to be the standard with this first generation devices. In the box you get not only the receiver and transmitter but also a pair of 1.2 meter HDMI cables, a remote, and a wall bracket for the receiver. While $500 may give some sticker shock, it is actually pretty competitive in this market for this type of solution.
