I didn't know I needed wireless HDMI until I used this dongle

Nyrius Aries Pro Plus HDMI dongle testing.

I have three HDMI connections on my TV, and they're used by the Shield TV Pro, the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar (which has eARC), and the PS5. Now, I used to connect my gaming machine to my TV in the past, and I just used a 50ft HDMI cable to do so. It was a bit of a hassle as my gaming machine sat in my office while the TV was in the living room, but the long HDMI cable was just about adequate.

But we moved to a new house last year, and I realized I wasn't able to use the cable any longer. That's where Nyrius comes in; the Aries Pro+ is a wireless HDMI dongle, and it admirably solved the problem of connecting devices in different rooms. It is costly at $249, but if you're in a similar situation where dragging an extra-long HDMI cable just isn't feasible, it is a solid alternative.
