Belkin just unveiled a new device at CES 2026 that makes screen sharing much easier. The ConnectAir Wireless HDMI Display Adapter is a plug-and-play system that lets you cast your laptop, tablet, or smartphone screen to a TV or monitor without needing Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. For $150, you get a small USB-C dongle and a receiver that plugs into any HDMI port.
The system is incredibly simple. You just plug the transmitter into your device’s USB-C port and the receiver into your TV, and you’re ready to go. It can wirelessly cast your screen in 1080p at 60Hz from up to 131 feet away.
Belkin reports latency under 80ms, which should be fast enough for presentations and video playback, though it may not be ideal for serious gaming.
The ConnectAir works with any USB-C device that supports video output, including laptops running Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS. It’s also compatible with newer iPads and some smartphones.
One of the coolest features is that it supports multi-user screen sharing. You can connect up to eight different transmitters to a single receiver, making it easy to switch between presenters in a meeting or share content from multiple devices in a classroom.
The dongle will be available in black and is expected to hit stores early this year. In a world where we are constantly fumbling with passwords and network settings, this simple, direct-casting solution could be a big hit for anyone who needs to share their screen on the go.
