Two years in the busiest room in the building, no failures
Needs a power cycle after a firmware update
Sits behind the screen in the room that gets booked more than any other, and it has earned its place. Anyone can present, including visitors stuck on guest wifi, and the picture comes up quickly enough that nobody has asked for the old cable back. The deductions are for maintenance. Firmware updates have twice left it showing the pairing screen with nothing able to connect, and the only cure is pulling the power for 10 seconds. Not a disaster in a room you can walk into, more annoying in a room on another floor. Two years in and the other complaint is that it does not remember a preferred laptop, so a presenter still has to pick the display each time. Small thing, but in a room with back-to-back bookings the small things are what people moan about.
Used for: Less than a month
Set up in ten minutes and every laptop in the office found it
The television USB port would not power it reliably
Set it up on the boardroom telly on a Friday afternoon and had all four laptops in the department mirroring to it before I went home. That is faster than any of the wired switchers I have installed in that room. One thing the box does not shout about: the USB port on the back of the television will not reliably power it. Ours came up, showed the pairing screen and then dropped out every few minutes until I moved it onto the mains plug that comes in the box. Since then, nothing at all. Quality at 1080p is genuinely good, sharp text, no visible lag scrolling a spreadsheet. 4K works and looks lovely on a still slide, less lovely on anything with motion in it. For slide decks and dashboards, which is ninety per cent of what that room does, it is exactly right!
Used for: 3–6 months
Meetings actually start on time now
Meetings start on time now that nobody spends the first five minutes hunting for the right cable
Used for: 3–6 months
No dongle to pass round the table any more
Wants a clean 5GHz channel to itself
Replaced the ritual of passing a USB-C dongle round a table of eight people, half of whom have the wrong port anyway. Everyone mirrors from their own machine now and nobody asks where the lead has gone! It does want a clear 5GHz channel: in the room next to the kitchen where the microwave lives it stuttered badly until IT moved it, and since then it has been solid.
Used for: 6–12 months
Guests share without an app or a cable on the table
The point of this in our meeting room is that a visitor can put a laptop on the table, pick the screen from the display list and be presenting in about fifteen seconds, with no software to install and no cable to hunt for underneath the table. It does that very well. Picture at 1080p is indistinguishable from a wire for slides. Push it to 4K and it holds, but the frame rate falls away on anything that moves, so video over it is watchable rather than good. Eight months of daily stand-ups and the only reboots have been after the building wifi was reconfigured.
