Wireless HDMI Solutions
If you’re looking to ditch that long HDMI cable running across your room, wireless HDMI extenders might be the solution. One top pick is the Tripp Lite UHD 4K60 HDMI Wireless Extender. It can transmit signals up to 65 feet using a 5 GHz Wi‑Fi band and is plug‑and‑play, meaning no software is required. However, it comes with a hefty price tag of around $450.
For a more budget‑friendly option, consider the IOGEAR Wireless HDMI Kit, which is about $200 cheaper. Keep in mind, though, that reviews are mixed, so ensure you have a good return policy.
Fixing YouTube TV Lag on TCL TVs
If you’re experiencing lag and glitches with YouTube TV on your TCL TV, it’s likely not your internet connection. Start by checking the “Stats for Nerds” feature in the YouTube TV app to see if there are dropped frames or buffering issues.
If the problem persists, it might be time to upgrade your TV. The TCL QM6K, for example, offers better performance and could resolve your streaming issues.
Are Plasma TVs Still Worth It?
While plasma TVs have their fans, they’re largely outdated compared to modern OLED TVs. Plasma TVs might offer good motion clarity, but they lack the features and performance of today’s models. Plus, if you’re buying used, you might not have a warranty, and there’s a risk of burn‑in if you leave the TV on for long periods.
For a bedroom TV, consider modern OLEDs like the Samsung S90F or LG C5, which offer better performance and features.
