Cable clutter is more than just annoying—it’s been shown to raise stress levels. A famous 2010 study from UCLA found an association between household clutter and elevated cortisol levels. One peek behind my own TV stand raises mine. The Nyrius Phoenix Home True 4K60 is one attempt to solve this problem.
The Phoenix Home is designed to transmit an HDMI source—think an Xbox Series X or a Google TV Streamer—across your room without needing to connect it directly to your television or monitor. It transmits high-speed, lossless radio frequency signal between the two. I tested the Phoenix Home True 4K60 over several months and found it to be a highly capable £250 kit that made cable management much easier.
Setting up the Phoenix Home is remarkably easy. For the transmitter, you screw the two antennas into place, connect an HDMI cable to your source (like an Xbox or streamer), and plug in the power cord. The receiver is a similar story, only you connect it to your screen of choice. When I tried a Google TV Streamer, it worked right off the bat, connecting after only a few seconds.
