Microsoft Wireless Display V2 Adapter - Black, Tablet

UPDATE: Replacement arrived quickly and item works as expected, no crashes or anything. First, it is expensive for what it does. Bought one because our smart TV, despite having Miracast and chromecast buil-in, would not work well with one of our PCs, but did fine with others. Was really happy with the item: build quality good, but not premium, it would allow to watch video in good quality, without dropouts or disconnections, with fluent picture experience. Some lag was present, so definately the adapter would not do well for gamers. Setup was really easy, and connection from a Windows 10 PC would take some 5 to 10 seconds. However, after two days of limited use it broke. Simply it would not broadcast over wi-fi, and the only thing on display one would see was a broken Microsoft startup logo on white background. Resetting the device did not help. Ordered a replacement, and if it does not break, I will give it a 5 star rating instead of 1.

Just arrived. Bought to enable me to teach physics to my students using my Surface Pro 4. Have just ran several tests using power point presentations and associated linked videos from a variety of online video sites (youtube, vimeo etc)...All faultless, straight out of box. Audio automatically routes to the wireless display adaptor (in playback devices it is labelled as Digital Output: MSDisplayAdaptor). I bought a MPOW Bluetooth audio receiver to enable me to free roam with the SP4 and play video from anywhere in the class. I can route the audio from video on the SP4 to the main speaker input in the room (using the Bluetooth audio receiver), or play it from the SP4 speakers easily (using volume control: Playback Devices). Downloaded the display adaptor app from the store, and altered the adaptor name, and upgraded the firmware to latest release...took around 60 seconds to restart. VERY slight time lag, I could game on the SP4 with minimal issues. I can draw using the Surface pen without looking at the SP4 screen as lag is minimal, so ideal for visual artists wanting to work wirelessly on a larger monitor/projector. After typing this I no longer notice the time lag....:) almost instant response.

Wanted this to mirror the screens of two tablets to a TV which had HDMI but no USB. Planned to use a separate USB power supply plug to power the device. The tablets I wanted to mirror are both Samsung. One is Android 4.4 Android 9. I wanted to use the device to mirror movies. Plugged the dongle into the HDMI port of the TV and connected it to a separate USB power plug made by a leading manufacturer. The device powered up and displayed the Microsoft landing page but was unstable. Both tablets were unable to find/see the dongle. At the time I was about one metre away from the dongle. I concluded that it might be a power supply issue. I change the power supply plug over and the device worked perfectly with both tablets. Video streamed okay with no jitter in sound or vision. Checking out the PSU plugs I saw that both were rated at 5v 1 amp. My only thought is that the first PSU I used was not 100% spec for USB voltage. Which leads me to conclude that the device may need a good strong USB voltage. If the USB voltage is slightly off then there could be problems with it working. Other than this the device does what is should do. It works with Android 4.4 and Android 9. and streams video okay. I am happy with it except it does seem to be overpriced.

Excellent product but check your computer/laptop is able to output Miracast signals! it might be that your running windows which has the "connect App" but that doesn't mean the computer has the circuity to send a WiFi Miracast signal. I bought this Receiver along with an Anycast Receiver to compare them. The image quality is better on the Microsoft device than the Anycast device although the Anycast device does also link Apply products, this Doesn't. IF your screen or projector doesn't have a USB socket (needed to provide power) then you will also need a USB PSU and a Male-Female extension lead (1m or 2m) as the cable on this device, even with the 25mm extension is only about 150mm Long. The system is easy to set up, there is a small time lag between moving the mouse and seeing the movement on the remote screen but nothing to problematic. So far I've only used these for PowerPoint Presentation, I've not tried to send video but the Audio link works fine. So far I've not pushed to see how far this link will work but I've had a reliable connection greater than 30ft, with a Wifi Route in the same space. Jan 2017 - Alan

I was looking at all kinds of streaming dongles with mixed reviews none of which seemed to do what I wanted. This display adapter came today and it just works as intended. Our old Samsung "smart" TV no longer connects to the ITV Hub so I have been using a Windows 11 laptop to watch via a HDMI cable and operating the plugged-in laptop with a remote mouse and keyboard. Also other channels like UKTVplay. This device just plugs into the HDMI socket and into a nearby USB socket on the back of the TV (plenty long enough but there is a short extension included). Then you press the Windows logo key plus K on the laptop and you select the adapter from the list. Very easy. This adapter doesn't have an easy connection for an Android phone but I didn't need that. I think you need the more expensive version or some paid-for software but you'd have to check on that. This device provides just what I wanted: laptop to TV. Later comment: I must add that sometimes the connection falters and freezes so it is a little unreliable. Most of the time it's OK. Watching ITVX last night it was breaking up so I had to plug in the HDMI cable which always gives perfect transmission. Might be something local to me that's affecting it.

Ich habe den Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter (2. Version) gekauft, um meinen Laptop kabellos mit meinem Fernseher zu verbinden und Inhalte bequem auf einem größeren Bildschirm wiederzugeben. Nach ausgiebigem Testen kann ich sagen: Dieses Gerät ist eine hervorragende Lösung für alle, die eine unkomplizierte und zuverlässige Möglichkeit zur drahtlosen Bildschirmübertragung suchen! Einfache Einrichtung & sofort einsatzbereit Die Einrichtung war kinderleicht: Den Adapter einfach per HDMI und USB am Fernseher oder Monitor anschließen, kurz warten, bis das Gerät erkannt wird, und anschließend über Miracast verbinden – fertig! Kein zusätzlicher Treiber oder Software-Installation nötig. Das hat mich besonders beeindruckt, da ich sofort loslegen konnte, ohne erst lange Anleitungen studieren zu müssen. Stabile Verbindung & geringe Latenz Die Verbindung zwischen Laptop und TV war durchgehend stabil, ohne Verbindungsabbrüche oder Verzögerungen. Besonders wichtig war mir die geringe Latenz, und hier hat der Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter wirklich überzeugt: Videos, Präsentationen und selbst Gaming-Inhalte werden flüssig und nahezu verzögerungsfrei übertragen. Dadurch eignet sich das Gerät nicht nur für Filme oder Serien, sondern auch für produktive Anwendungen oder Live-Präsentationen. Hohe Bildqualität & flüssige Übertragung Die Bildqualität ist exzellent – scharfe Darstellung, kräftige Farben und eine flüssige Wiedergabe. Selbst bei Streaming-Diensten oder hochauflösenden Videos kam es nicht zu störenden Verzögerungen oder Rucklern. Auch die Tonübertragung funktionierte einwandfrei und war perfekt synchron zum Bild. Vielseitige Nutzungsmöglichkeiten Der Adapter ist vielseitig einsetzbar: Egal ob für Präsentationen im Büro, zum Streamen von Videos oder für gelegentliches Gaming auf einem größeren Bildschirm – er macht in jeder Situation eine super Figur. Da er so kompakt und leicht ist, kann man ihn problemlos mitnehmen und auch unterwegs nutzen, z. B. in Hotels oder bei Kundenpräsentationen. Fazit: Der Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter (2.

Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Had to update the adapter on a different computer to get it working. Dont know why.

I would highly recommend this product, for hooking up a flat-screen TV that has HDMI ports, to your Windows computer . I use it with my Surface Pro 4 (i7 Processor, 16gb RAM & 256gb SSD), under Windows 10 Pro. Nice out of box experience. In fact, before I got the Wireless Display Adapter V2, my Surface Pro docking station was not able to use more than 2 speakers, connected to my Receiver (which has 5 speakers) through the HDMI physical cable). While my MacBook Pro running Windows 10 Pro, was able to use all 5 speakers, for TV sound through the HDMI cable. Even Microsoft's easily accessible phone support was not able to help me utilize all 5 speakers, before I got the Wireless Adapter. But once I got the Wireless Adapter, the 3 other speakers (including the woofer), started working like magic! I installed the Windows 10 1803 update two days ago and I was worried, because it seemed like it was taking too long for the flat-screen TV to connect. I immediately called Microsoft Tech Support (almost no wait time) and the TV started working about one minute before I got hold of the Tech Support Rep. With my approval, the Tech Rep took a look -remotely-and it looked fine. The Tech Rep noticed a problem with one of my docking station's USB ports in Device Manager (a problem unrelated to this Wireless Display Adapter) and after about one minute and a reboot, the USB problem was fixed. I would highly recommend this product and thank Microsoft for their excellent and easily accessible Tech Support!

Después de probar el Chromecast con toda la ilusión del mundo lo tuve que devolver y buscar alternativas (Roku, Android TV, etc...) y finalmente di con este sencillo dispositivo de Microsoft. El Chromecast iba muy bien, permitía hacer cast, es decir, ver un vídeo de youtube y aplicaciones preparadas para el chromecast mientras se hacía otra cosa con el móvil e incluso realizar una proyección espejada de lo que se veía en el móvil. El problema con el Chromecast es que requería disponer de una wifi a la que conectarla, y además, que esta wifi tuviera acceso a internet incluso aunque fueras a proyectar en espejo la pantalla. Esta restricción inútil fue la que me hizo devolverlo. Este dispositivo de MS es super pequeño y sólo requiere 0,5A de USB y una entrada HDMI. Desde android sólo permite ver la imagen del móvil en una pantalla HDMI aunque desde sistemas windows 8.x y windows 10 permite tratarlo como otra pantalla (clonar, extender la pantalla, etc...). No todos los sistemas son compatibles, la mayoría de los nuevos portátiles lo son, pero ojito a la compatibilidad con sistemas windows. No permite hacer "cast" como el dispositivo de google pero por lo menos funcionará siempre sin necesidad de wifi con internet ni nada. El alcance es muy bueno, unos 10 metros entre adaptador y dispositivo emisor. Todos los sistemas que he probado hasta la fecha tenían retardo de entrada por lo que para jugar o manejar con el ratón no los recomiendo. No obstante este de microsoft y el chromecast eran los que tenían menos retardo y eran "usables" con ratón. El vídeo va perfecto a full hd y sincronizado imagen y sonido. En este punto sin problemas. Se calienta bastante aunque quiero pensar que está diseñado para aguantar estas temperaturas. El paquete trae el adaptador HDMI+USB y luego un cable pequeño extensor de USB por si se nos queda corto, aunque podríamos usar cualquier otro cable USB pues sólo usa el USB para la alimentación eléctrica. Por último decir que para actualizar el firmware del adaptador es necesario conectarse a él mediante máquina windows compatible y aplicación que se descarga de la tienda de microsoft (gratuita). No hay aplicación para Android. No es compatible con sistemas Apple pues este fabricante no ha adoptado el estándar de Miracast / WiDi y tiene su propio sistema de "streaming" (Apple TV). Lo recomiendo. Aquí en españa no tenemos disponibles los sistemas de Amazon y para comprar el Roku Stick sale caro y es de importación.

It's good product but at this expensive price ( I paid INR 12,000) it may not be cost efficient in Indian market. Also not having an ability to integrate with iOS/Android phones isnt a good idea. Works well - simple to connect and get started.
