We looked at the EZ View as part of our review of home media streaming in Show 61.
We're very impressed with what the solution offers, and how easy it is to use.
Here are the basics:
- On your laptop, install the supplied EZ View software, then plug in the USB dongle
- Plug the receiver into your TV (using the supplied HDMI lead, or connect using the VGA monitor socket)
- Connect the receiver using the mains transformer
- Get your PC to transmit its screen without wires to your TV set
Setting up the EZ View wireless laptop kit was very straightforward, and under test, we've been very happy with both the video and audio quality.

More on the EZ View:
Here's a photo of the EZ View receiver - a small box that connects to your TV's HDMI socket. It also has a connector for a VGA monitor lead, and a small headphone socket for audio. Note that the unit sends both audio and video using the HDMI socket - the headphone socket can optionally be used for audio if not using HDMI.
When in use, the EZ View software allows you to mirror your laptop screen to the TV set, or use the TV as the master monitor. Once installed, two small icons are added to your Windows System Tray, to allow control of the wireless link, and to adjust the display options
