Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this wireless adapter for watching Netflix on one screen while gaming on another and all types of things!! It’s wonderful picture quality hardly lags especially if you have a high ram surface to back it up.

works great on our TV streams picture the perfectly

We needed a bigger TV as we found ourselves squinting to read the scroll at the bottom. We went to buy a Vizio but came home with our Sony. Great TV! The picture is so clear and it fits the room perfectly!

It works excellent does what it's supposed to with no issues. I did have one problem no one at best buy knows they have it in stock at least in the tv section they had no clue.

Works great with my 70" Pioneer Elite TV! I definitely recommend. Somehow it didn't fill up the screen right with Panny Viera 42" Plasma.

I'm very happy with this purchase. Keep in mind, this "Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter V2" is a Miracast adapter or a Wireless Display (WiDi) adapter. Initially they were different standards to do the same thing but got merged years ago. It was designed to be a form of Wireless HDMI connection and it does a pretty good job of that. It's supports 1080p video and up to 5.1 audio channels (though I don't know if this MS adapter supports that many audio channels). The MS Display Adapter V2 should be compatible with any newer Windows 8 or newer PC, I have Windows 10, with a fairly current Intel Processor should support this adapter. Why is it better than a Chromecast? Well, it's not, but it is...they're for different things. It's better than a Chromecast for sending your display to because the latency is much lower. In other words, if you move the mouse with the chromecast you will need to wait for the mouse pointer to catch up. You will not have this problem using this adapter. Also, the Chromecast will only send what's on your screen. The MS Display Adapter will make your TV act like another monitor connected to your PC so you can use it as an additional desktop, or mirror the screen. You could have three displays already and add your TV as a fourth with this adapter - I've done that. I've even added it mirroring one of my secondary displays so I had display 1 and 2 and then display 3 mirrored to a TV. In other words you just get a lot more flexibility and the wireless display really works like any other monitor would. Keep in mind, it's not a Chromecast. That means that apps can't cast directly to it. For instance I can cat netflix from my phone to the Chromecast and the connection of the video from netflix goes directly to the Chromecast. If I did that with a Wireless display adapter it would take play through my PC first and the PC would send it to the MS Display Adapter. It should work but it's not the best way to do it. Especially if you're on battery on your laptop. That will take a lot of battery. The MS Display Adapter, since it's basically a Miracast adapter, will also work with many if not all LG and Samsung Android phones for the last number of years. Look for some kind of "Smart View" app or another built in cast app that's on your phone. It should find your MS Display Adapter and work easily! The Setup is extremely easy! Since the MS Display Adapter doesn't connect to the internet at all you just use the free Wireless Display Adapter app from the Windows Store to configure it and you're done. And by configure it all you really need to do is check for updates for it and name it. The update process may take a while and could even time out at one point saying it fails but don't worry, it doesn't. It will work. Give it some time. Make sure you get the V2 version. It's easy to tell the difference. Both ends of the V2 version are about the same size. One of the ends on the original V1 version is much larger than the other end. Have fun!

Purchased this to have a larger monitor when using my surface pro 4. Easy installation and immediate use. The secondary monitor works great in all modes (extend, duplicate, and solo). I have had multiple times the connection drops without warning and I have to connect again. Initially, it worked perfectly with no noticeable lag. However, once I connected my Microsoft Arc mouse via bluetooth there was a bit of delay that developed.

If you are like me who wants to just cast the windows laptop screen, and use the TV essentially like a projector, this is the product to go. I read a lot about how to cast windows screen to TV, and came across lot of products. I got really confused by all these. I had bought amazon fire stick for the same purpose, but for some reason it didn't work for me. Then, I came to know about this microsoft's wifi receiver. The one I bought was actually open-box item, and thus slightly cheaper, but it works like a charm. I have been using it for several months now, and there are no issues. The lag is unnoticeable even over my 2 mbps connection, its that good. I used to use HDMI cable to project my laptop screen to the TV. This receiver got rid of all the clutter with the same performance. It does get a little hot after a while as the other reviews mentioned, but that's about it. Everything else works perfectly. Installation is very straight forward, and I installed free Wifi display adapter app from Windows store to aid updating the firmware. After initial set up, its very easy to connect to the TV.

The adapter is super easy to set up and use. It has almost no lag and very convenient. This just won't work when we need it to work. This was used to for a computer in the conference room for meeting. The computer is a new HP laptop with i5 processor. We aren't watching movies or doing anything other than looking at spreadsheets and work scheduling. 5-10 minutes into the meeting it would disconnect and wouldn't want to disconnect. We tried it for almost 2 months and about 10 meeting, but after being embarrassed for 8 of those meeting by not being able to do anything, we exchanged it for the ScreenBeam Mini 2. That was the way to go and haven't had any problems since.

Works great right out of the box. While others claimed to have streaming issues, I had none. Content that I watched online and cast to my tv had no issues. It was just as clear as stored content that I cast directly from my device. I like the fact that I can use it anywhere. Setup is quick and easy.

I honestly wasn't sure what I was buying when I ordered this online, I just knew it worked for a Surface Pro which I had just purchased. I'm a MacBook Pro user for the most part but needed a Windows 10 Pro machine for certain work functions and when I didn't want to haul the 15" $3600 MacBook with me. I hooked this display adapter up and it worked perfectly for any monitor and for any Windows computer. This wireless adapter is part of my toolkit now. The only downside is that you have to reconnect it after a restart or shutdown, so it isn't perfect for permanent setups.

I needed a way to connect my laptop to my HD TV wreñesly. I had been connecting via the Bluetooth capability, but the signal at times was difficult to make a connection. I asked about an alternative and this adaptor was recommended and works via an internet connection. This is a great and easy setup. I just connected the adapter to the HDMI on the TV and then the other end to one of the TV’s USB ports to provide power. The laptop quickly picked it up and connecting was easy! This is all I need now and it can also connect my iPhone and tablets. Cool!

I purchased this to use with my Surface Pro 4 to occasionally project to a 3rd monitor in my home office. This works well. Setup is extremely easy and SP4 handles projecting with ease. There is a small amount of lag, so when I use this method of projecting to a monitor, I make sure it's for something where lag doesn't really matter (e.g., watching a pre-recorded video lecture or news broadcast). I'm confident that I wouldn't chose this method of projecting to a monitor for office work like editing a document, but for less-demanding work (e.g., content consumption), this works well.

I had heard that others have had a problem connecting, but I have not. It gives me an easy way of extending or duplicating my Surface 3 on a TV. I haven't tried it on a monitor yet, but I don't have any doubt that it will work. The only downside is a slight lag between what is on the screen of my Surface and the TV. I have used it in hotel rooms to extend my desktop and it has functioned flawlessly. It will mirror anything I can normally display.

Great Microsoft product, I use with a Surface Pro 2017 and HP 22' Monitor, sometimes a little lag but overall works fantastically. Low power draw, easy to install and MUCH better than using a Mini-Display port adaptor w/VGA cable which kept tugging on my tablets port disconnecting and damaging the port. Highly recommend!! Long live Microsoft and leave that over priced Apple crap to people who don't know how to use real tech!

If you dont have one, you need one. Assuming your computer can do Miracast, this adapter makes it so easy to have a remote screen connect to your PC. There is no wifi setup at all. You just plug it in and connect int 3 clicks using Windows. You can hook to another monitor or TV and mirror or extend your desktop to it. Sometimes it will have an issue connecting but once it connects it works great.

Works great to connect my Surface Pro to my HP monitor. I have also used to connect with my TV. I do notice a lag occasionally, but for the most part I have no complaints :) It was very simple to set up and use. I love being wireless. I have not used for gaming, but it streams videos very well.

I wanted a reasonably price way to connect my devices (windows computers & android tablets) to my tv. My criteria was affordability, ease of use, and compatible with most of my devices. ThIs display adapter fit the bill! - It’s relatively cheap. ~$50 or around $40 if on sale. - It’s easy to use. Just plug in and play. *connect the device to tv’s hdmi and usb for power, then you can connect to your tv wirelessly following pairing guide on your device - It works on my devices. Windows 10 computers and android tablets Pros in terms of how I use it: - Mirror my whole display onto tv. I do this with windows 10 computers and android tablets. I prefer to mirror my devices whole home screen than just simply casting video/pictures/specific apps. - the Microsoft display adapter doesn’t need to connect to the internet to work. In fact, it doesn’t connect to the internet at all. It’s a stand alone product in that it has no other purpose except being a type of wireless hdmi essentially. Cons: - won’t work with Apple Macs or iOS devices (iPad/iPhones) . Bummer, I know. I think this is more on Apple on being too strict on what works with its devices and push for people to buy Apple TV’s to mirror devices with Apple’s AirPlay. - occasional/rare image distortion Overall: Would recommend for mirroring your devices whole screen if devices are windows 10 computers/current android phones and tablets

I have tried Multiple apps to Mirror my PC but this cable work Like Magic it work Just Like a Second wirelles monitor With multiple options as Clone, second Monitor extended etc etc Pros No picture Lag No Mouse Pointer Lag Long Range Compatible with Dolby Digital sound app Compatible with DTS Sound app Price Super easy Intallation plug and play CONS I havent find any cons for it

This device has 5 star functionality, but loses a star for being overpriced. This device works well with the Surface Pro, and a TV or projector. The built-in support for it on Microsoft machines makes it simple for non-technical people to use, so maybe that justifies the cost to some. It does work well, and consistently, and is small enough to transport easily,
