Kind of touchy once transmitting to TV and shuts down and you have to reboot it again from the computer. I do like it though. Much nicer to watch something on the big screen rather than the laptop. I would buy again...

Works better than chromecast as far as picture and sound. Since using it I have had no problems with it losing connection. Whatever is on your laptop, tablet, phone, etc is on the tv screen using this product.

Did you know that some smart TV's only can see the Apple products! Who know such a thing. This receiver allows my new lap top to play movies and whatever is on the lap tops screen on any TV with an HDMI input.

Great alternative to the Apple TV for those who use a PC rather than a Mac. Allows you to wirelessly project your computer screen to your TV.

I bought this for the miracast feature to hook up in my truck. It works like it is supposed to. Picture quality will be reduced if you transfer from hdmi to rca (of course). Over all a good buy.

This product is FANTASTIC! I’ve bought at least 10-15 of these for my various work sites to use. If 1080p is adequate for what you do, and you use Windows 10 PCs, you will love this as a way to display computer content on a TV. Now I need them come up with a 4K version.

I purchased this item for it's Intel WiDi capabilities as I needed to display my HP Pavilion dv7 on my widescreen TV. It did not work with my computer but I believe this to be a problem with my computer and NOT the ScreenBeam because it worked just fine with my phone.

Looking for another Microsoft dongle at the local best buy and was not available. Clerk recommended to try this and I wasn't sure because other products have not worked well on my android.
But this one was plug in and connect without need for apps or any programming. Currently using a galaxy S6 connecting with smart view from phone swipe down settings.

I play a decent amount of games on Steam and this device allows me to do that on my tv! I'm not a fan of the fact that it's not powered via phantom power.

After reading the reviews I decided to purchase this for use with my Samsung Galaxy S6. The S6 does not support MHL and I needed a way to cast onto my TV without wifi. The product worked great for the first 3 days, except it would disconnect itself from my phone every now and then. After the 3rd day my or my wife's phone (also a Galaxy S6) would no longer connect to the device.
I contacted Actiontec customer service and went through a no hassle warranty replacement and received my replacement a week later. The new device worked decent with my wifes phone, but would not work with mine. The new device still would disconnect at an annoying rate with my wife's phone. I had updated my phone to the newest Android software 6.0.1 and the ScreenBeam Mini 2 does not work with Android 6.0.1 Using my wifes phone we used Actiontec's app to check for update and it did not have a new firmware update available. I contacted Actiontec customer service and spoke with the same agent and was not helped this time around.
Another week after that the device stopped working completely.
I will be returning to Best Buy for a refund.
The idea of this device is great but maybe a better company could execute it better.
After 2 devices and a total of about 15 days working I will not give this device or company a chance at a 3rd strike!
