Customer Ratings & Reviews

I tried using a 6 ft adapter cable at first because I didn't think a wireless connection from my Surface Pro 3 i5 to my Vizio Smart TV would be sufficient. Well, I quickly learned that a 6 ft adapter cable wasn't sufficient for convenience sake(psh, first world problems). So I returned the Insignia Cable and purchased this Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter for $10 more. Took it home, plugged it into the USB and HDMI ports on my TV, and seamlessly connected my SP3 to the Wireless HDMI Adapter. The convenience was solved immediately, but I still needed to test the connectivity. Fortunately, it quickly became clear that the wireless connection does not decrease the quality of the feed, audio or visual, in any way. Overall, I would highly recommend this product to all future customers. One of my friends actually took my advice, bought one, and couldn't be happier.

Great wireless adapter for your Microsoft Surface...Awesome watching video lectures on a big screen and still have the same sharpness.

I didn't know if I really needed this gadget, but I went ahead and bought it anyways. Haven't figured it out yet because my Windows 8.1 computer is a piece of s.... Oh well, I own it now.

My wife and I both have Windows 8.1 notebooks that include the Intel Wireless Display chipset and Samsung Galaxy phones. We screen mirror what is on our phones and notebooks to our TV quite frequently using the Microsoft Wireless Adapter. It is so easy to setup and simple to use. Better than that, it works great! We have a 2010 Sony 60" KDL-EX720 Smart TV. In 2010 this TV did not include wireless network connectivity/Miracast, but it could be added by purchasing $100 wireless adapter. I checked out several alternatives that were less expensive and narrowed it down to three. 1) Purchase a Blu-Ray DVD player with WiFi and Miracast. 2) Purchase Roku or Amazon Live TV and use their screen-mirroring. 3) Purchase the Microsoft Wireless Adapter. My first choice was option 2. I got a great deal on the Amazon Live TV box from Best Buy. I am an Amazon Prime member, so I thought what the heck. Amazon Live TV is super cool and works great, but not to screen mirror with a Windows 8.1 notebook. After installing different wireless network adapter drivers and reading article/forum I could never successfully connect either notebook to the Amazon Live TV screen-mirroring feature. So, onto my second choice. My second choice was option 3. I purchased the Microsoft Wireless adapter. Best choice ever! 1) I opened the box. 2) Plugged the adapter into a free HDMI port and the USB port for power. 3) Changed the TV to the HDMI input. 4) Turned on mirroring on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and selected the Microsoft adapter and I was screen-mirroring. Easy Squeezy. After the initial setup, connecting is a quick two step process. 1) Change the TV input to the Wireless Adapter. 2) Turn on screen mirroring on your device. There is no navigation through a menu system. Simply change the input and go. The devices we are mirroring are Full HD 1080P. There is minimal lag or distortion in the video and audio quality. We did have one issue connecting my wife's Galaxy S5. It would not connect at first. The phone did not have the latest Android and Verizon software updates. It connected fine after installing all of the updates. This device is a big win and thumbs up from me. Buy it and enjoy it!

I picked this device up to use in our conference room with my boss's Surface Pro 3. While I was testing, it connected without any trouble to my Windows phone and a colleagues Samsung Note. There is very little lag between devices, even playing HD YouTube videos. I did run into a hitch connecting to the Surface Pro 3 however. I ended up having to do an operating system refresh to get it to connect, hence the minus one star. Otherwise, this is a fantastic product I would definitely recommend to anyone.

I needed something to be able to project my movies and tv shows onto a hotel tv when I am traveling for work. This fit the bill perfectly. Simply plugs into an HDMI port and USB port on the back of the TV and connect with one click from windows 8.1. The only issue I have had since I purchased it is that sometimes it lags a little, but not very often and never more than a second or two. Way better than chromecast, roku, or fire TV because you can stream ANYTHING that you can get on your computer. Works just like an extended second display from your laptop but wireless!

easy to set up. Just plug it into a hdmi port of a large monitor or display and and plug the usb connector for a source of power and you can easily project any miracast enabled device my android tablet and surface work great. The connection is Bluetooth and seems prone to interference at times. I had my surface projecting to the display and everytime I switched on my bt mouse I would get disconnected from the display. You need to stay within 15 feet to avoid disconnects.

Very simple device to use and setup. I have used my Windows Phone, my Windows Tablet, and my Windows 10 laptop and they all have connected successfully. Occasional lag on some fast moving games, but overall good video quality.

The wireless display to my TV is very convenient. Sometimes have problems connecting to my Samsung Note 4. Works good with my Surface Pro 4. Can be a little laggy.

Works great with my Surface 3 and Samsung tv! How to connect: One end of the adapter goes into the USB port of your television and the other end to the HDMI port of your television. It is a wireless adapter so nothing needs to be plugged into your computer/tablet. Select the appropriate HDMI input on your television, go to display settings on your computer/tablet, click connect to wireless adapter and select the Microsoft Display Adapter and you are set! IMPORTANT :In order to get the display adapter working flawlessly, without any connectivity issues, please download the Windows Display Adapter App (Win 10) and upgrade the firmware of the adapter. It is very important you do this or you may face connectivity drops or other bugs/issues. TIP: If your display is getting cropped or isn't fitting your television screen, adjust the television display options. I had my Surface 3 resolution set to 1920x1080 as I have a full hd TV, but it was still stretching outside my television display. I changed the display setting on my tv to 'Fit' which fixed the problem.

This adapter works very well with the Surface Pro 3. It is everything I wanted in that regard. However, I have been unsuccessful connected it with my Galaxy S5, which should work with it. I've been searching the web, and can't find much information related to the two. I wish it would work because I'm very happy with the results when connected with my Surface Pro 3. Now, getting hold of this adapter was quite an ordeal. First of all, I spend $1000+ on a Surface Pro 3, and when I ask if they have this adapter, the salesperson tells me that if anything as this even existed (implying it definitely does not), that they certainly would not have it. So, I go home happy with my Surface Pro 3, yet disappointed about the adapter. I begin searching online for it, and wouldn't you know it - Best Buy actually offers the item, and it's in stock and available for store pickup at the very same store I asked about it. That was slightly annoying. I go to the same Best Buy location the next day, and ask to be directed to the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. The employee brought me to another employee, who was busy with another sale. After several minutes of waiting, the other employee takes my questions, and then informs me that they definitely don't have it because he had looked for one the other day and couldn't find it. I said, are you the one who typically finds these items when ordered for store pickup? He says he isn't, and I politely ask if the employees who do that could look for the item for me. The employee brushes me off and continues with his other, apparently more important, sale. Getting more agitated, the original employee and I head to customer service to ask for actual assistance. When we get there, a severely rude employee tells me, well if he says it doesn't exist then it doesn't exist. Then she continues to lecture me about how even though it says it's in stock, it's possible it was stolen. Basically, I'm treated like I'm an idiot child. I told her it's also possible that just one person might not be able to find it, and perhaps the employees who typically look for these items could likely find it. She doesn't even attempt to assist me, though. She was more content with being right in her own mind. Yay for customer service... Finally, the original employee I asked, who doesn't even work in electronics yet wants to help a customer, gets someone else to look for the adapter. Guess what? They found it...despite all the lectures and brushes to the side from other employees. So, I did end up with this item, which works very well. However, I practically had to force (multiple times) Best Buy's less than personable employees (why are you in customer service if you can't assist people?) to get off their butt and actually look for it. It was ridiculous. On top of all that mess, somehow Best Buy has created two member accounts under the same name and phone number. I am an Elite Rewards member, 1000 rewards points for this purchase did not go onto my Elite account - it went to this other reward account that I didn't even know existed. I would think that when I give the cashier the phone number for my account, and two separate accounts pop up that they would inform me of this. Not at Best Buy - apparently just the bare minimum effort is acceptable here. I am very upset with the way I was treated, and my overall experience with Best Buy has been extremely poor and very unhelpful. I will never trust Best Buy's employees again, and will do my best to stay out of their stores and buy from someone else.

We purchased 4 of these for use in our office conference rooms and shared spaces. When they work they are great. Almost like Airplay. You have to do an initial "pairing" which is easy on a Windows 8.1 device and requires no drivers. But the benefit over an airplay device is that you do not have to connect either the Display Adapter or your computer to a WiFi network, they make a peer to peer connection. You can also connect your computer to your wifi for internet access while using the device, something the cheap Chinese miracast adapters do not let you do. The video quality is good, great for presentations and video. Have not tried gaming yet. The optional Windows 8.1 management software allows you to rename the adapter and scale the display in the event portions are cropped off your TV due to over-scan. However like my experience with most Windows 8.1 things, its a bit buggy. We have 10 identical dell laptops. Two of them connect and disconnect to the adapters perfectly. For a couple of them you have to unpair and re- pair to the adapter every time you want to use it. Considering it took Microsoft 18 months to finally release something like this you'd expect the bugs to be worked out.

Got this to test its Miracast mirroring capabilities. I tested it on an Acer 2 in 1 tablet (switch 10). Worked flawlessly... couldn't tell the difference between the sound and video over the Miracast peer to peer vs. a micro hdmi cable. Couldn't test it, however, on an Android device because Asus tablet I have won't Miracast. Elected to pass on it because 2 in 1 is too cumbersome to use as a tv remote... you want something hand held. And wasn't sure as to whether would get an Android or Windows device that was more portable and hand held. In the end, I did not... got an Iphone, which I'll use with Airplay for the same dealie. But, if you have a Miracast capable device, this is the best wireless hdmi cable out there.

I travel a lot for work and occasionally would forget to bring the cable to connect my tablet to the hotel's TV. I read about alternative ways to project to the TV and decided to give this device a shot. Set up was super simple. Plug into the USB and HDMI ports on the TV and let the unit boot up. It also comes with a 6-inch HMDI extension cable just in case you need a slightly longer reach. I'm using a Win 8.x tablet, so it found the Wireless Display Adapter under the Settings > Devices > Project charm, and bam! you're connected wireless. I was up and running in less than 5 minutes. I had the tablet about 15-20 feet away from the TV and it never dropped a signal. Occasionally the video would pixelize but it cleared up pretty quick. I'm extremely pleased with this device. I can't wait to see if work with my other tablets.

I travel for business a lot and was looking for a way to watch Netflix and my iTunes movies that are on my Surface on hotel room TVs. This does it with no delay with a great picture! It is just the projection of the display, though, and not the audio, so keep that in mind if you buy it for the same purpose. Great for ppt presentations as well, without needing a hard line connection. Very easy to use, provided you have a screen with both a USB and HDMI connection.

Very easy to use. Tried it out with my android phone and tablet as a screen mirror and on a windows 10 tablet as a second monitor this device just works and works well. The device does get warm with prolonged use but had no failures when it was in that state.

I gave this a try because I didn't want to use a wireless keyboard and mouse, I like having my laptop on hand, not connect it to HDMI. So far this device holds up to regular use. I can view my laptop on my tv to watch movies or listen to music. Although, on my HP ENVY x360 restarting one or the other might be required with the latest Windows 10 Update. Good buy overall, gets the job done well.

I bought a 65' screen for the office to use for Power Point presentations...it was pretty sleek to be able to put my presentation up there. It would be 5 stars but it would glitch and I'd have to give it a rest. It felt hot when I touched it I think it overheated and had to cool down, but that's just theory. Still, it works long enough to give my presentations and it served the purpose.

Synced with my surface easily and broadcasts relatively well. Some lag is noticable but hardly distracting if you turn off the original screen. That being said it will timeout on any other windows device I've tried and cannot sync. Two seperate tablets and a laptop. Only recommended if using Surface Pro 3/4/Book

I do like the idea of it, and it is amazing. I use it to project my YouTube videos or if I need an extra screen. the fact that it is all warless it is amazing. but it doesn't connect to all the devices. I have my surface pro 2 it works fine, but it doesn't connect to my laptop. there is a little bit of lag. my advice if you need it, get it. if not, then there is no reason for it.
