    Hi GeorgeStrom,

    Do you mind have a think about wireless solution ? Wireless HDMI transmission.

    Had a quick look, but there didn't seem to be that many options, and the ones which were available either didn't seem very good/were very expensive :/

    No worries thanks for looking, ended up forgetting to actually order the one I'm going for so now it won't arrive till Friday which is the last day I'm home, so hopefully there aren't any complications.

    I use a 10m HDMI cable and picture / sound quality is pretty much perfect so you can ignore everything google tells you about signal deteriation.

    Otherwise you can look at HDMI streaming over wi-fi (5ghz band). Some kits out there but from what I have researched before about them they are fairly unreliable and quite costly.

    If it's streaming over WiFi, some compression will be necessary, which could be a problem, especially for high res content and gaming (as I was saying earlier).

    Not sure how the wireless would cope with 1080p content, also I forgot to mention but it will also be used for some games.

    Was looking at just getting a generic scan cable, don't really see any reasons not to unless they're known for poor build quality?

    Wireless can sometimes be a bit iffy, using a cable should be fine if you run it along/in the walls

    I have heard a lot of good about intel wireless display adaptor but it is pretty expensive for what it is.

    Wireless display adapter is great, I have it built into my new 4k tv and my laptop and it is seamless.
