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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is incredibly simple. You just plug the transmitter into your device&#8217;s USB-C port and the receiver into your TV, and you&#8217;re ready to go. It can wirelessly cast your screen in 1080p at 60Hz from up to 131 feet away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Belkin reports latency under 80ms, which should be fast enough for presentations and video playback, though it may not be ideal for serious gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ConnectAir works with any USB-C device that supports video output, including laptops running Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS. It&#8217;s also compatible with newer iPads and some smartphones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Points Belkin just unveiled a new device at CES 2026 that makes screen sharing much easier.
