What customers say
The SOFLY HDES13 is widely praised as a budget friendly solution offering excellent value for moderate 4K extension needs. Users appreciate the simple plug and play setup and the crisp resolution achieved with quality Cat6 cabling over shorter distances. The compact design aids discreet placement. However, reliability becomes a concern when pushing the device near its maximum range, often resulting in signal dropouts or requiring a downgrade to 1080p. Compatibility issues with certain modern source devices and HDCP protocols also surface occasionally. Performance is highly dependent on using premium, certified Ethernet cables; cheaper cables significantly degrade the experience. It is a strong choice for basic setups, provided users manage expectations regarding peak distance performance.
