Accepted Answer

You do need a receiver, but one is included in the kit.  It sets up its own wifi connection automatically, so there's nothing to configure.

I purchased this to drive two monitors (65"/32") in the front and back of the main room at our local makelab.  I have a ChromeCast, an Apple TV, input from our data rack (VGA->HDMI adapter) and an extra HDMI cable attached for laptops that can't connect to the ChromeCast or the Apple TV.

We're only going about 30', but the signal appears to be strong.  I would suspect the advertised range of 200' is accurate.

The delay is minimal, only a few milliseconds, and it works great showing the same video on both displays or showing different input on each.  We can even have audio turned up on both and the delay is barely noticeable.

I will probably get a few more receivers in the near future so that we can put monitors in the rest of the rooms.  My only slight complaint is that sometimes takes five seconds or more to react to channel changes.  It isn't "instant" when you change.
