NETGEAR - Push2TV Wireless Display Adapter

Compact design consise and legible instructions for use Great connectivity and fuction of the push2tv adapter Could be considered similiar to the Apple Tv adapter but the netgear is made for pc notebooks or pc compatible motherboards.

The device is relatively simple to use and works great. It allows me to use my big screen TV as a duplicate, extended, or 2nd screen to my mobile laptop. Works great with get togethers at my home to show videos, pictures, etc. My only complaint is that I had to do an immediate firmware update right out of the box. Other than that, I've been very happy with this product.

This thing does work well, although every once in a while the TV doesn't seem to know it exists. $50 is a little high on the price, though. Great if you want to be able to display ANYTHING from your computer on your TV. Fills in a gap in Chromecast service.

I had low expectations when I bought this but overall I turned out to be pleased. You do have to update the firmware which is a bit of a chore. After that it connected to the tablet right away and I could see the home screen. I have used it to display pictures I took and web pages and it works fine for that. I also would have liked to view purchased movies from the tablet to the tv but the device says the content cannot be displayed because the connection is not secure.

I don't know if the fault of Intel, Microsoft, or this particular device, but this technology is not ready for prime time. In my case, getting it to work at all on Windows 8 was a very involved and frustrating process. Then when I upgraded to Windows 8.1, I had to start all over again. Eventually I got it to work -- some of the time, anyway -- but there were issues even when it was "working." It would often disconnect and refuse to connect until I went through an involved process. Moreover, when playing .mp3's through my stereo system -- which is one of the main things I wanted to be able to do wirelessly -- there was all sort of stuttering, etc. I gave up and returned the device after discovering that.

Had the device installed from day one, very easy to set up, even with just an android device (I used an HTC One). Within minutes, I was projecting my mobile display to the TV, playing flappy bird. There was lag between phone screen response and the TV, but that should be expected. Playing movies or music, showing pictures, or, on a business level, giving mobile app demos are all great ways to utilize the PTV3000.

Firstly, do not plug this in until you've completely updated your WiDi Application on your computer... save yourself the headache. It's not the hardware that needs new firmware. Secondly, do NOT buy this if you're looking for a dual monitor setup with your computer. There's about a 60ms lag time on the screen and with the computer. I've used this both at work and at home. It makes watching online TV a breeze, and the cost is comparable to a WiFi Blu-Ray player. I' have a WiFi blu-ray player and this thing knocks the socks off of it. Since it is using my laptop for connecting to the internet it loads things much quicker, a BIG bonus. In the office there's no comparison to doing code review across 10 employees and not having to switch wires, or switch seats every 15 minutes. Range is best at about 5-10feet, works well as far as 15ft, and can connect to my laptop as far as 25ft.

the product is great but it does not include a hdmi cable and it should be smaller in size like a dongle which eliminates the the need for cables. The product is too expensive especially now that most products have better browsers. it's better to use a USB connector to hdmi and download a computer mirroring/ remote app
