I know I already thanked Millitronic for sending the review sample along, but this was only possible because of their marketing rep. Most smaller companies in the PC DIY market tend to outsource marketing and PR, with the rep in question having being one TechPowerUp editors have worked with before when it comes to other companies. So when said rep inquired about us potentially covering this, I was immediately intrigued, and so credit must be given to this person as well for getting this product in the eye of many readers who no doubt were unaware of such a product to begin with.

I suspect I am not alone in having experienced the pain of connecting laptops and/or USB drives to a projector to give a presentation in a room, and many times I went with the latter simply out of convenience, although it is not recommended when dealing with sensitive topics. You can also go with a long HDMI cable, of which there are plenty to choose from at a significantly lower cost unless you happen to like Monster HDMI cables, for some reason, but there was something much more elegant about taking this dock and connecting it to the display beforehand and simply pulling out the receiver when it was time for my presentation. Needless to say, it left a strong first impression which can often be as important as the talk itself.

For the vast majority of us here, this is a $160 piece of neat tech that will not really be justifiable. While the Millitronic HIVE is plenty capable of wireless gaming, be it for VR/AR or even couch to TV living-room gaming, the limitations in spatial constraints is a big deal, especially when more and more TVs these days are 4K displays and this has 1080p decoding at most. The company has a 4K decoder backbone available, if they choose to make an update. However, more recent news from them indicate that WiFi 6-based solutions are on the way soon, which actually might be worth checking out if they can get in a dedicated backhaul and long-distance wireless connectivity. Steamlink may be gone, and game streaming platforms may be here, but there's still a market for in-home game streaming from a PC to the living room TV.
