    Make sure you update to the latest firmware

    Will not work (or unlikely to work, especially Samsung) with Lollipop unless you have the latest firmware. The only way I know of to update the firmware is to download the MS app from their app store, which requires Windows 10. You won't find the app if you are running Windows 8/8.1. Your hardware also has to support Miracast as the firmware will only update when you are connected. Reason I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 is the so restricted firmware update venue. In short, I was ONLY able to update the firmware with Miracast support hardware, running Windows 10. Also works with Intel WiDi.

    Not usable on most PCs and notebooks

    The Microsoft Wireless Display adapter is basically a proprietary solution. It uses "Intel WiDi" technology on a basis that restricts it to certain PCs and laptops (e.g the graphics adapter must be Intel, not nVidia, AMD etc.), and also some tablets and smartphones. Most PC/Note book users will have to use a different product. My main annoyance apart from this is that it would probably work with a Galaxy Tab S I recently purchased, but the firmware would need to be updated first. In order to do that I would have to connect to it via WiDi in the first place using a "Miracast-compatible" PC/laptop! There is no USB update option- presumably the USB port on the adapter is power only, not data. Obviously I can't actually test the quality of the device without being able to connect to it.

  • Good Value

    For 20 bucks it can't be beat. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because on my tv it cancels out the tv remote controls. The volume is only controlled by my laptop and not the tv so it is insufficient even at 100% volume. To correct the issue I have to go to device control panel and set to computer speakers default and plug in external speakers to the laptop. An odd setup, but it works. I can't understand why Microsoft didn't wire the HDMI like, for instance, a DVD player so the tv controls would work. ???

  • Lightweight, easy to travel with and has a good connectivity

    Good connectivity with Microsoft Surface Pro 3. Not very excellent. I wouldn't stream movies thru it. It connects with Android too but I sometimes I encounter some difficulties trying to connect. I recommend it cuz I don't think there is a better option in the market yet.

  • Good not great

    It is good to enjoy using your laptop and watching stuff on the tv, but when you play a sound on your PC it plays it on the tv, which makes it overlaps with what you watch. It also cuts of and gets disconnects sometimes by itself. In addition, the image sometimes keeps cuting or breaking even though I'm very close to the TV. You need to consider these before buying, especially the sound issue. Because you have to listen to one thing at a time.

  • Not recommended

    I have only tried this with a tablet. The connection is extremely unreliable and drops 99% of the time. Can not handle videos (either online or from the device) with the sound not being in sunc with the image. More so, after a few seconds, the connection drops. If you stream images, it will work for a few minutes and then - it drops... But, to be fair, I have only tried this with a tablet running Windows 8.1. Maybe you will have better luck?! Just keep in mind, the $20 bucks are a gamble...

  • Good Solid Produxt

    I purchased this adapter so I could interface my Note 5 to my 2015 Honda CR-V's HDMI port. I could not use my Chromecast because it requires an Ether net network with a router. Theven Microsoft adapter was simple to set up and worked perfectly since it creates it's own network with whatever you are interfacing with it.

  • Good and bad

    Depending on what you use it for, and what price you get it for, this may be a good thing to get. However, my experience, is that with the 1st gen model, there is some jitter and a little lag of video from a device to the TV. If you get it cheap, it might be worth it. I don't think I'd pay more than $20 for it, though.

  • 720p is perfect. 1080p studders.

    It works amazing at 720p! Even smoother if you cast a video through the cast menu in Windows. I tried several computers but I can't get studder to go away at 1080p resolution, which is a shame. It's not bad at all, but it is noticable to my eye. 720p is ok for my uses, but just a heads up for anyone else.

  • good product with minor disappointment

    The product works good but I was hoping to be able to use it with my laptop a little further away from the monitor being used. With as close as the laptop has to be to work, could have easily used a vga wire. i am not sure of the cost differential if I had gone that route.
