Microsoft Wireless Display V2 Adapter - Black, Tablet

UPDATE:Replacement arrived quickly and item works as expected, no crashes or anything.First, it is expensive for what it does. Bought one because our smart TV, despite having Miracast and chromecast buil-in, would not work well with one of our PCs, but did fine with others. Was really happy with the item: build quality good, but not premium, it would allow to watch video in good quality, without dropouts or disconnections, with fluent picture experience. Some lag was present, so definately the adapter would not do well for gamers. Setup was really easy, and connection from a Windows 10 PC would take some 5 to 10 seconds. However, after two days of limited use it broke. Simply it would not broadcast over wi-fi, and the only thing on display one would see was a broken Microsoft startup logo on white background. Resetting the device did not help. Ordered a replacement, and if it does not break, I will give it a 5 star rating instead of 1.

Excellent product but check your computer/laptop is able to output Miracast signals! it might be that your running windows which has the "connect App" but that doesn't mean the computer has the circuity to send a WiFi Miracast signal. I bought this Receiver along with an Anycast Receiver to compare them. The image quality is better on the Microsoft device than the Anycast device although the Anycast device does also link Apply products, this Doesn't. IF your screen or projector doesn't have a USB socket (needed to provide power) then you will also need a USB PSU and a Male-Female extension lead (1m or 2m) as the cable on this device, even with the 25mm extension is only about 150mm Long. The system is easy to set up, there is a small time lag between moving the mouse and seeing the movement on the remote screen but nothing to problematic.So far I've only used these for PowerPoint Presentation, I've not tried to send video but the Audio link works fine. So far I've not pushed to see how far this link will work but I've had a reliable connection greater than 30ft, with a Wifi Route in the same space. Jan 2017 - Alan

This device is very useful and we use it to extend my desktop from our computer to the big screen TV in our office, this allows us to show presentations and watch netflix on the big screen.We bought two of these one for the house another for the office.Setup in the office was extremely easy, plug in to USB and HDMI on TV, then go off and find the device in Windows 10, it was instant, zero lag and did not drop and still has not dropped once. This operates at a range of 2 meters.Setup in the home was a different experience entirely.We did all the same things, but this time we had multiple errors only after upgrading the firmware as the device asked us, before upgrading the firmware it worked fine but dropped out every 10 minutes or so.So we upgraded the firmware, we could then not connect at all, we looked online for fixes and followed everything for around 2 days. We updated our graphics card, wireless adapter drivers, everything and still it failed to connect.In the end we re-installed Windows 10 on the laptop and this then fixed the issue, extreme I know, but we had no personal data on the laptop so we just went ahead and did it, it drops out a bit more at a range of 2-3 meters.We are still not sure what caused the issue or whether the previous Windows version was at fault.Issues was with a HP Stream 11 laptop.

Was a little sceptical whether it would work with my 12 year old Samsung plasma TV and Samsung Galaxy S7 phone but was happily proved wrong. The adapter seems odd at first - a length of wire with an HDMI connector at one end and USB at the other. But then realised the wire and USB connector is just the power supply for the adapter which has the HDMI connector built in to it. The adapter itself is a very compact, smart piece of electronics considering how small the unit is. Once fitted and the TV is switched to the HDMI you plugged it into, you'll see a white screen with instructions. Being a Microsoft product, there's a lot of emphasis on Windows 10/11 devices. Don't worry too much about that - my old Android phone connected to it no problem.A few things worth noting:1. Your TV will need a spare HDMI socket and a spare, powered USB socket.2. Ensure your TV is off before plugging the adapter into the HDMI port.3. You may need to disable VPN on your device you are connecting from. I had to switch off VPN on my phone before it would connect.

Just arrived. Bought to enable me to teach physics to my students using my Surface Pro 4. Have just ran several tests using power point presentations and associated linked videos from a variety of online video sites (youtube, vimeo etc)...All faultless, straight out of box.Audio automatically routes to the wireless display adaptor (in playback devices it is labelled as Digital Output: MSDisplayAdaptor). I bought a MPOW Bluetooth audio receiver to enable me to free roam with the SP4 and play video from anywhere in the class. I can route the audio from video on the SP4 to the main speaker input in the room (using the Bluetooth audio receiver), or play it from the SP4 speakers easily (using volume control: Playback Devices).Downloaded the display adaptor app from the store, and altered the adaptor name, and upgraded the firmware to latest release...took around 60 seconds to restart.VERY slight time lag, I could game on the SP4 with minimal issues.I can draw using the Surface pen without looking at the SP4 screen as lag is minimal, so ideal for visual artists wanting to work wirelessly on a larger monitor/projector.After typing this I no longer notice the time lag....:) almost instant response.
