Value and Conclusion

	The PowerColor JustSling sells for around 199 US Dollar or 169 Euro. As this is the MRSP, the street price will be a bit lower.
	More affordable than most other WHDI variants on the market Capable of HDMI 1.4a Support for HDCP 2.0 Including IR Blaster Possibility to pass on USB input through WHDI Lag free input Extremely easy to set up Good use in apartments - especially in North America due to wood construction Includes all required cables - including HDMI Low power consumption Fairly compact units
	Distance varies greatly - depending of surrounding area Price for this technology Not viable for most houses, as distances will be too big No USB splitter included to plug in mouse & keyboard at once right out of the box. A bit wobbly on the included stands Only supports DTS Dolby
8.9/th>	The PowerColor JustSling is certainly an interesting device. As one of the first commercially available systems utilizing WHDI, it does manage impress by pushing all the pixels you need. But you should consider the fact, that you will never reach the full distance advertised (much like with any wireless technology) as it only manages around 12.5 m line of sight at most - while PowerColor mentions up to 25 m on their website. That said, when it works, it does so without the need to set anything up at all and manages to offer lag free input through the included USB port or with the remote control. This means that PowerColor has done an excellent job employing the technology available today and the only thing really holding it back is not for a lack of engineering, design or trying, but simply due to the fact, that WHDI is fairly new and this is all one can tickle out of it at this time. While there are other solutions out there, the JustSling from PowerColor seems to be the only one capable of HDMI 1.4a and HDCP 2.0.
