VERDICT

Should I use Hall Research (Hall Technologies)?

Professional AV Solutions - hallresearch.com

Depends. Buy if you're an AV integrator or IT/AV lead equipping classrooms, hotels, or conference rooms with HDMI/HDBaseT distribution. Skip it if you're a home user or small office — consumer gear is far cheaper and this is quote-based commercial hardware.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 20+ public sources; independent user reviews are sparse and no published pricing tiers exist.
