PC to TV wireless HDMI

[crossmr]

So I've just moved in to a new apartment and due to layout it's just not practical to run a cable from the PC to the TV anymore.
So I've decided to look into getting something wireless. Now I've found several out there, unfortunately they're not common tech in Korea, so of the ones I can find for sale here, the prices have been jacked up.. enough to give me pause. So I'm going to list the ones I've found and see if anyone is aware of any other makes I might be unaware of, or a different kind of device that might benefit me.

So far I've come across
Netgear PushTV ptvu1000
D-Link DPG-1200
Warpia StreamHD
IOGear Guwavkit2 (this one doesn't seem available at all here)
HDelight from Brite view

The Warpia and Brite-view models seem to rely on line of site transmission. There is a wall in between, so I think both of those are out.
The PushTV seems to be the cheapest in country, but the price is huge, it's $119 CAD on tiger direct in Canada, but around, $170 CAD in Korea. Almost a 50% price bump.
Any thoughts on the d-link and netgear? Any other products I should try searching for that might do the job as well?

Unless your PC has Intel Wireless Display technology built-in the Netgear ptvu1000 is not for you. The Dlink DPG-1200 is a media streamer i.e. it plays media over the network, your thread subject mentions wireless HDMI i.e. output the monitor signal from your PC to a remote TV. I'm a bit confused as to what you want to do. The IOgear is a wireless HDMI kit that seems to also convert an analog VGA signal to digital, here's one on ebay. There's another one from Diamond that doesn't have the analog to digital converter and this one from Rocketfish that's cheaper.

On the other hand, if all you want to do is stream from your PC and your TV has a network connection and is able to play media files over it; you only need to connect the TV to your wireless network (you'll need a wireless router). There may be a wireless adapter option available from your TV maker, otherwise this one will work. If you can't connect the TV to a network, try a WD TV Live.

According to their site, it's not needed. The PTVU1000 is the universal model, it works with anything.

They have two other PushTV units that are specifically made for the Intel Display Technology. The PTV1000 and PTV2000

I'm a bit confused as to what you want to do.

I need to do wireless video out to my TV. Previously I just ran an HDMI cable from the PC to the TV, in the old place they were in the same room, now they're not. The layout of the new place prevents me from running a cable easily, so I need a wireless solution.

My TV doesn't have a network connection, so that's out. Unfortunately the Diamond and Rocketfish ones also don't seem to be sold in country. I'd have to import them, and anything over $150 (including shipping) will get nailed with customs fees.

Have you looked at HDMI wall plates?

If you can't go through the wall, consider running a long HDMI cable under the carpet. Use fish wire to pull it.

The heavy gauge HDMI cables work best for long runs. Test the cable before you run it.

Also, some wireless HDMI systems won't go through walls. They are designed for short distance line of sight.

Can't pull anything through the walls.

No carpet to run it under, and the door to the office closes extremely tight, running any cable out of the room would make the door unusable. Wireless seems to be the only worthwhile solution here. The PTVU1000 seems to be getting decent reviews, has anyone tried it? I haven't found anything that indicates that it is line of sight. It's also the cheapest in country.

The Netgear PushTV ptvu1000 doesn't appear to be a HDMI extender. It seems more like a point to point UPnP Wifi device.

HDMI is uncompressed video. UPnP over WiFi is highly compressed. The quality will take a major hit. I haven't found a bit rate spec in the manual.

I'll only be running it at 1360x768, and I don't need crystal clear, 100% perfect replication.
I'm not that kind of video watcher.

There are some sample camera jpgs here in the one review I could find on it:
http://www.wegotserved.com/2011/10/24/hands-netgear-ptvu1000-universal-push2tv-hd-adapter/3/

Seems to look reasonable enough.

I really hate these sites which search engine spam. So many sites listing "product review" then you go to the page and it says "Sorry no reviews". Google really needs to crack down on that.

Wireless high-quality video solutions do exist, but they're expensive and the only people who use them on a regular basis are Pros (videographer/cinematographers, surveillance, etc). It's not that there isn't a demand, heck if they were priced cheaply it would probably be everywhere by now.

You've got to remember, uncompressed video bitrates are HUGE! (1360 x 768 x 24 fps x 24 bit = 573 Mbps, not counting the audio, text & control streams).

Of course, if you don't care so much about quality, use a wireless DLNA media streaming device on a compressed title and get a receiver and plunk it down next to the TV, connecting IT to the tv via HDMI...
