Not worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not the least bit intuitive to set up. Cannot access the http://192.168.203.1 address on my iPhone or Macpro. I've never posted a negative review on a product until now. I wasted $50 on the product, plus time, plus $35 on SmartTV cast trying to get it to work. I will be returning this product.

Posted .I apologize for the experience you have had with your ScreenCast Wireless Display Adapter. In order to visit the 192.168.203.1 address you must ensure that you are connecting to the Wi-Fi network of the ScreenCast Wireless Display Adapter. Once you are at the 192.168.203.1 address you can connect the ScreenCast device to your home Wi-Fi network so you that you can cast via Airplay from your Apple devices. For further assistance I recommend contacting our customer support team by visiting the j5create website then click on the "SUPPORT" tab at the top right of the webpage. Thank you.

Product sucks!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this product, it sucks. I tried to cast Netflix, I heard voice, but the screen was black with subtitles. I bought this for my Mac to use a second monitor, but the mouse kept jumping around. I feel like I paid 60 for junk and can't return it.

Posted .Ensure that your browser or Netflix app is up to date.
In some cases, disabling hardware acceleration in your browser settings can resolve video playback issues. Check the settings in your browser and experiment with disabling hardware acceleration.
Verify the screen mirroring settings on your device. Some streaming services and apps may have restrictions or compatibility issues when screen mirroring.

Don't waste your time or money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Complete Junk! As an IT Professional I've configured thousands of devices, I bought this for my mother as a gift. Configuring it was a nightmare and it just doesn't work no matter how many times I tried to get it running. Took it back to Best Buy and bought a Fire Stick.

Posted .The ScreenCast Wireless Display Adapter is intended to connect to a TV with an available HDMI port and an available USB Type-A port. *If a USB port is not available on your TV, you can connect it into a wall outlet using a USB power adapter. Turn on TV to power up the ScreenCast. Select your TV's input/source until you see the setup screen. Thank you.
Inadequate signal strength
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The connection between the cell phone and the HDMI plug wasn’t strong enough to maintain a good connection for the screencasts. (8 feet)
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Signal strength not being strong enough to maintain a connection can be a sign of an update in need. For such discrepancies, we highly recommend contacting the technical support team printed on the casing to speak with a specialist, they will be able to assist you in checking for updates and helping you obtain full functionality of your Screencast device. We apologize for the troubles you experienced and hope it's not too late to help.

Easy to use screen cast adapter!!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing little device! I'll be packing this in my work laptop bag wherever I go as it is perfect for taking on the go to display content wirelessly to most monitors and TV's (those that have HDMI at least). For conference rooms and meetings this is essential as it eliminates the hassle of trying to carry adapters for the various different setups that are out there, and eliminates having to be "in the right spot" to get to the cables for the display which more often than not is not the best spot for presenting to a group. It's an absolute must for devices that don't have many ports or have special ports like display port which require specific adapters. I've used it at home and at work to test out a few scenarios and it works flawlessly from by Windows 10 (my work and home computer) and even my android phone and tablet. To use it is as easy as plugging it in to a free HDMI port on the display you want to cast to and plug it in to a USB port for power (most TV's made within the last 10 years have one and even if not, a simple extension cable which is included with AC adapter you'd use to charge a phone would work too). From there follow the on-screen instructions to connect to the device to the internet (which isn't required but helpful if you need to be connected on Wifi) for whatever device you're connecting from. In Windows/Android and even iOS it's pretty easy to initiate sharing from there. In terms of quality, the picture is great and I'd definitely recommend using the 5 GHZ band, especially if you're doing anything like scrolling through documents or PowerPoints as it makes it smoother. I wouldn't hook it up expecting to play games as there's just too much latency even on the 5GHZ band to make it smooth/lag free. Video even in small frames seems to be okay but not great and when in full screen with lots of movement in the video there's definitely noticeable artifacts like a poor quality VHS/DVD. For everything else, browsing the web, sharing presentations, Zoom meetings and typical presentation type things it works great for me and I will be using it for that for sure! Goodbye to the cluster of cables/adapters for VGA/HDMI/DVI, etc. Overall, it's a great product and does what it should while being super easy to configure/use. I would recommend it for standard types of content like the web, photos, email, presentations, but not for playing 3D games and movies full screen.

Crap
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible. I couldn’t get this to work. I had multiple people try. Then Best Buy tried to charge me $100 for a geek squad repair. What a waste.

Posted .Plug the HDMI connector into an available HDMI port on the TV/display. Plug the USB connector into an available USB Type-A port on your TV or a USB power adapter. Turn on your TV to power up the ScreenCast. Select your TV's input/source until you see the setup screen. *If your TV screen remains black, your TV may not be supplying enough power. In this case, please plug the USB cord into a USB power adapter and connect it to an outlet. ** Feel free to contact j5create Technical Support if you require further assistance. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab. Thank you.
Do not buy. Doesn’t work.

Did not work for me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not work for what i needed it to do and i had to do a reset on tv after trying it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .If you encountered problems with the adapter, here are some steps you can consider:
If the adapter is not functioning correctly, you can try resetting it to its default settings. There should be a reset button.
Ensure that your TV is compatible with screen mirroring or casting from the specific source device you are using (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop). Some TVs may have limitations on supported casting technologies (e.g., Miracast, Chromecast).
Confirm that the source device you are using (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop) supports the casting or screen mirroring technology used by the adapter (e.g., Miracast, AirPlay, Chromecast). Different devices may use different casting standards.
Make sure that both your source device and the ScreenCast Adapter are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, as many casting technologies rely on a shared network connection.
Check for firmware or software updates for both the ScreenCast Adapter and your source device. Updates can sometimes resolve compatibility issues and improve performance.
