j5createScreenCast HDMI Wireless Display Adapter Receiver - Mirror Phone, Tablet, Laptop to HDTV - Compatible with MiraCast, AirPlay, Android, Windows 10 PC, iOS, iPhone, Tablet (JVAW56)

I bought a laptop (2025) and it did not have a second video port or a thunderbolt usc-c port so I could only extend my screen to one monitor. I love using two monitors and this enabled me to have 2nd monitor screen available by plugging into my 2nd monitor and using windows 11 to connect to wireless display. I do not use for gaming and for my purposes it works as well as plugged in monitor. Very happy. Easy to connect laptop to wireless display as well.

The Microsoft branded one has been out of stock forever, so I took a chance on this one. It was the highest rated one, and so far, it has hit the mark for my use. I needed a presentation device for my school conference room monitor so we could do away with the 30’ HDMI cord we had been using. This plugged in easily to the Sharp TV’s hdmi and USB connectors and was immediately ready to go. It is easy to identify and then connect to using the built in MS Windows 10 protocols. It connects on the first attempt, and stays connected. We don’t have issues with it dropping, unless the laptop goes into power saving mode or sleeps. It easily reconnects though. When we are having admin meetings, we go round robin style and each member connects their computer for their part, and it easily transitions between different devices. I have yet to use the other ways to connect other devices, but the pop up screen when you select this input has all of the directions on the screen to easily follow. I will buy this again for other TVs in the building where we wirelessly need to connect.

I've been looking for a substitute for the Microsoft Display Adapters which IMO were the gold standard. I wish I knew why they discontinued them. Rumors are they will release an updated version soon but who knows. In the meantime I need to find a reliable substitute, and here we are. I tried this brand on a whim and I am impressed. I'd say it's 95% as reliable as the Microsoft adapter, which is actually a huge compliment.I plan on buying more for use thoughout my IT environment.

I had very little trouble connecting this, but my computer will not stay connected. Then i have to restart everything to get a few more minutes before it stops again. NOT worth it

Exelent quality, arrived on time

I'm planning on cancelling my home internet, so I could instead use my phone. It's way cheaper for me. So after trying out various casting devices that didn't work for me, I thought this one would be perfect because they claim you don't need WiFi, and some of the reviews mention that as well. I mean, you need WiFi to set up the dongle, but that's understandable I suppose. Maybe it needs an initial update or something. After I got it working, it worked quite well, although the picture was less than stellar. Setup was fairly straightforward. So if you aren't relying solely on your phone for Internet, and you only need a decent cheap casting device, then this will do the trick.But anyway I decided to really test it out once I had everything hooked up properly. So I turned OFF my router (to see how it would work once I cancel my home internet) and lol and behold, the dongle stopped working. It would still register as being connected to my phone, and my phone could still find the device in my screen casting app, but I could not connect at all. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or I'm missing some information. But it seems to me that this dongle will not work unless it is connected to your WiFi. I'm open to ideas on what I might be doing wrong, but I'm going to return this and try to find some way to mirror my phone screen that actually doesn't use WiFi.

Bought this as the very reliable Microsoft display adapters are no longer being made and this was a suggestion from multiple people. Setup was easy, just plugged in and it worked. However the image that was displayed was outdated. It said to press WIN+P to connect to it which isn't a thing on Windows 11. So I contacted their support. Support was very quick in replying and said the image has been updated and should say WIN+K to connect. I sent them a picture and they verified my adapter had a old image. They said I needed to up date the firmware. The button said I'm already up to date. They asked for what version I had. I sent it. They said yeah that is the latest version, it should be updated and to try doing a reset default. Did that with no change. They said hold the reset button in on the adapter to reset it. Did that no change. They finally said to just return the device since something is wrong so I did.Giving 2 stars instead of 1 star because at least their support people were actually responsive which is rare these days. Will try another device.

Had a microsoft verizon but o longer available. This works as well as Microsoft product. I use it on my television to stream from my phone and tablet.
