how to add FlyImage 5000 product ?
I'd like to get a Category Lead to add an item, a Wireless PC to TV Transmitter / Receiver called FlyImage 5000 so I can provide a first hand review. How do I get an item added ?
The item can be seen at:

Here's the beginning of my review :
It works - sort of ! I've been looking for a device that would transmit from the PC to a large screen TV in the next room, wirelessly, and be able to be controlled from the other room - I found that product, it DOES work, but it's not entirely ready for prime time, depending on your needs. I still don't know why another company hasn't developed this yet with all the downloaded and YouTube type content on the computer you'd love to play directly to your TV without wires.
The device is made in China, it's called the FlyImage 5000 - you can read about it and even order it at http://www.pctotvconverter.com/flyimage5000.php .. the device is exactly as pictured on the box, $135 postage paid. Let me preface my review by noting that it didn't suit my needs and I'm returning it, but I was still impressed. User manual and installation guide are right there on the website.
The device easily hooks up - and I mean easy. You hook up the transmitter to your PC, and the receiver to your TV. Hookup options are many. For me, there's a pass-thru cord from your video card output that you put in between the computer port and your monitor cable. There's a small cable that runs off that pass-thru that goes to the transmitter. Another hookup to the transmitter is for sound and keyboard/mouse control on the remote - a USB cable once connected is recognized as a keyboard/mouse device and that same cable attached to your sound out. Here's the amazing thing about this device - there is no software to install, it's completely plug and play, and what you see on your PC Monitor is what you see on the TV - and you can control EVERY program from the TV in your living that you have on your PC. No other attempt on the market I've seen does that. And it's such a simple concept too.
The receiver receives the video signal and sound that is sent from the PC transmitter. This is the problematic part. It provides 4 different 2.4Ghz bands to transmit on. I had to unplug my 2.4Ghz phones to avoid interference. This is where the product needs tweaked and it's a perfect product. If only it transmitted over a more powerful source, wireless network would be nice, it would be so much better. As it was, text was not sharp and that made web browsing more difficult. I will admit I have an old 32" Sony TV in the living room, so perhaps your monitor quality set would have much different results. On the receiver, you connect to TV input jacks and you're ready to go - just turn both units on (they use plug in to the wall power adapters).
It worked first time. Once I figured out the 2.4Ghz interference, I was browsing away from the living room, full screen. The color was decent - not perfect. Reds tended to be a little more on the orange side in it's VGA to NTSC/PAL conversion. But as I browsed through family photos with slideshow on my Kodak Gallery web site, played |
