    I bought this for my uncle so he could stream videos from his Microsoft Surface to his tv and it works wonders. There is a small delay in video from the tv to laptop but it's not noticeable if you don't look at the laptop and the audio works great!

    Would not recommend this product. Do not have any other similar wireless products to compare to, but substantial lag and quality loss in wireless transmission of display.

    This was very easy to set up and worked great out of the box. It was nearly close to plug and play. I would highly recommend this for a wireless solution to projecting from a windows 10 laptop (surface book) to a TV.

    Stayed with a Microsoft branded device, have had issues with non Microsoft branded adapters on surfaces they appear to be picky but very good range and solid connection with both my surface and my Windows Phone (yes I'm the person that has one).

      Hi there,

      Thanks for reviewing the Wireless Display Adapter! It's true the adapter uses Wi-Fi to display from your device to another screen, but just to clarify, there is no need to have a hard connection to the Ethernet with your Wireless Display Adapter. If you find yourself ever having a hard time connecting, your device may be in need of a firmware update. You can follow the instructions to update your device here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4023497/surface-troubleshoot-using-the-microsoft-wireless-display-adapter-with.

      We're delighted that your experience so far has been great!

      Kind regards,

    Just look up this product in YouTube. You will see all the good reviews on it. Trust me. It really works! its not good for REAL SPLIT SCREEN obviously because the wireless tech is not there yet, but for casual use, its perfect. Not high FPS.

    Work's okay for movies

    I watch movies from my galaxy smartphones from this and in general I do like it. But I can see that it seams to reduce the refresh rate as motion is a bit jerky. The biggest problem though is how hard it was to get it to actually update. It randomly got so much lag that I couldn't watch movies at all so I went to update the device with my computer. I tried for days but it kept failing. It finally worked right before I was about to give up on it. I'm hoping something better comes out but for now this works.

    A great adapter to use for streaming movies from any app from cellphone, tablet or laptop. My tv is an older model that doesn't have wifi or things like ROKU so this works great.
