2026/03/09 – Cutting the Cord: A DIY Wireless HDMI Display Takes Shape at House4Hack
As the Tuesday evening gathering at House4Hack came to life once again, the focus of the night was drawn to an ambitious and highly practical build: a fully self-contained wireless HDMI display, capable of receiving a signal from any device equipped with an HDMI output — entirely without cables. The project represents the kind of problem-solving that has long been celebrated within the walls of the House. The goal was straightforward in concept, yet demanding in execution: to construct a portable display unit that could receive a wireless HDMI signal, housing all necessary components — including power delivery — within a clean, self-contained enclosure. Initial prototype of display case Work on the enclosure began with an initial prototype, as the team explored how best to accommodate the various components within a compact and practical form factor. As is often the case with projects undertaken at House4Hack, the first iteration served primarily as a learning exercise, revealing the constraints and opportunities that would inform subsequent designs. Second iteration A second it
