Why should we back?
Intro
Welcome to KickstartNew! Today we’re spotlighting an ambitious new gadget: YURON: Plug-and-Play 4K Wireless Transmitter & Receiver on Kickstarter. This device aims to liberate you from HDMI cables by enabling high-quality, wireless 4K video and audio transmission — perfect for media streaming, presentations, gaming, or extending your laptop display to a TV or monitor.
Why should I back this project?
-
True 4K 60Hz wireless streaming — YURON promises 4K UHD output at 60Hz, delivering smooth, high-definition visuals for movies, games or presentations.
-
Plug-and-play convenience — No messy apps or complicated setup: simply connect transmitter and receiver and you’re ready to go.
-
Long transmission range — Up to about 45 meters of wireless range lets you cast across rooms without hassle.
-
Multi-device & multi-platform support — Compatible with devices that have USB-C (with DP-Alt Mode) or HDMI output, working on macOS, Windows, Android and more.
-
Extra value with power delivery & mobility — With up to 100W PD (power delivery) and a compact design, YURON can even charge your laptop or device while transmitting, and is easy to carry.
What are the potential drawbacks you should consider when you back it?
-
Wireless limitations — Performance may depend on environment: obstacles, interference, or wall thickness could affect signal strength or stability.
-
Device compatibility requirements — For USB-C transmitters, your device likely needs to support “DisplayPort Alternate Mode”; otherwise wireless transmission may not work.
-
Latency and video/audio sync risks — Although the project claims low latency, wireless transmission inherently risks some lag compared to wired HDMI, which may matter for competitive gaming or real-time use.
-
Crowdfunding uncertainties — As with any Kickstarter project, there is a risk of delays, production changes, or final product not matching expectations.
-
Limited prior track record — If the team behind YURON doesn’t have many previous successful products, that raises uncertainty about final quality or delivery speed.
The reliability of the project
-
Massive overfunding — The campaign has already surpassed its goal by a wide margin (thousands of percent), showing strong interest and giving the team a good budget for production.
-
Clear technical specifications — The listed features are concrete: 4K 60Hz, 45 m range, 5G WiFi, PD 100W, cross-platform support — which suggests the design has been thought through.
-
Transparency and communication — The campaign page (via BackerTracker) shows regular updates and status (funded, in progress), which helps build trust.
-
Existence of similar products — Comparable wireless HDMI/transmitter-receiver devices exist on the market — this doesn’t guarantee perfection, but makes the concept plausible rather than purely theoretical.
Conclusion
YURON’s Plug-and-Play 4K Wireless Transmitter & Receiver presents a compelling vision: ditching HDMI cables while maintaining high-quality video and audio streaming with minimal hassle. For users tired of cable clutter, wanting flexible screen setups for entertainment, work or presentations, or needing to wirelessly mirror or extend displays, backing this project could unlock real convenience. However, you should weigh compatibility needs, environmental factors, possible latency trade-offs, and inherent crowdfunding risks before pledging. If you value flexibility and simplicity over owning a proven retail product, YURON looks like a project worth supporting.
