    Not best for enterprise environments

    I am looking for a replacement for the discontinued Microsoft display adapter and this just didn’t meet expectations. This product may be great for home use but not in an enterprise environment. I only need mirrorcast capability for displaying Dell laptops, this device offers more features (Airplay) which requires network connection and frowned upon on the enterprise environment.

    Purchased this so I could share my computer screen to my TV without using an HDMI port. My old TV had several more than the new one so HDMI ports were not an issue. However, after the purchase I found that I could wirelessly connect my computer to this new TV and didn't need the J5. Ended up returning as it really wasn't needed. Also didn't want to use an extra HDMI port for power or another adapter for power.

      Hello,
      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the screencast adapter. Some newer televisions come equipped with the ability to wirelessly receive video. This device is for those that are not manufactured with this capability.
      Have a great day,

    It works, but when comparing it to the quality ti the microsoft display adapter it its not the greatest especially if you dont have at least a windows 10 software which i know is rare now of day. If Microsoft display adapter wasnt sold out i would oglf bought that instead. Actually I think i may return it and wait to get the Microsoft 4k wireless display adapter. Patience is key.

    Definitely worth the purchase! I get so much better quality and no latency than just streaming onto the chromecast directly. Very easy to connect to and set up on any device

    Take it out the box, plug to TV, hit mirror on your phone and you're done. DO NOT scan the code or go to the IP address for first time users.

    Used it to project images & videos from phone onto projector. Although it works fine, it was a little learning curve to get it connected. It was not as simple as plug n play right away

    Bought it to stream a PowerPoint presentation and YouTube videos to a projector. Not only would it lag with the YouTube videos, but when switching from 1 slide to another it would get stuck or the next image wouldn't fully load and look scrambled.
