AI-generated summary
For the money, the ATEN VE066 is the kind of “keep it simple” AV extender you buy when you need a basic link without messing about. If you’re just trying to get an HDMI/A/V source to a screen in another room (training, small meeting spaces, kiosks), it’s a decent low-cost option—assuming your use case is straightforward and short-range. At £20.89 ex-VAT, the value is mostly about convenience: spend little, get a working arrangement, and move on.
That said, it’s not the choice if you expect it to be bulletproof for every setup. Cheap extenders can struggle with more demanding signals, longer runs, lots of interference, or mixed/quirky AV sources—so if you’re deploying across a whole building, doing “critical” presentations, or need consistent quality under pressure, I’d be cautious. In short: buy it for light, predictable installs where cost matters; avoid it for high-stakes or complex AV environments where you’ll want something more forgiving.
