Review: Love the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter! - I have been looking for some sort of device to mirror my Surface Pro 3 to the TV without having ugly wires showing at this is it! I had tried the Google Chromecast since it said mirroring was possible however it was only mirroring what was being shown on google chrome. I could not mirror different applications like the Netflix app. I then tried the desertcart Fire Stick- I thought it had mirroring capabilities however it does not as well. I finally stumbled upon this little beauty and it did everything I wished it would. I had called the local Microsoft store and they told me it would mirror everything that was on my tablet so I had to give it a try. It was perfect! Very simple to install- just plug the HDMI in its slot and plug in the USB for power (I plug it into an empty USB slot on my TV). Then all you do is go to your tablet search for devices and it shows up and installs by itself. I have had one problem with it recently in that it would not connect- however after some tinkering with my tablet I realized it was the fault of my tablet and not the Microsoft Wireless Display. Also as a side note this will only work with devices with Microsoft WIDI (Apple products will not work). So this device doesn't work on my older laptop (4 years old) but works perfectly with my girlfriends newer laptop.
Review: Best Wireless Display Adapter I've used... - This wireless display adapter has worked flawlessly for me. It connects the first try, every time. And I have never lost a connect unexpectedly. I want a wireless display adapter to support display of the entire desktop and all applications, not just a select number that had been optimized, like with the Google ChromeCast. With the ChromeCast, even with apps design to be 'cast,' it was very unstable, and randomly dropping offline, even in a area with strong wireless coverage. I was very disappointed with it. I have an desertcart FireStick, and for what it does, it's awesome, and 100% reliable. Great for media consumption. But is still doesn't solve an easy way to wirelessly connect your computer to a display, and use the entire desktop. Now, I can still easily watch Netflix or desertcart Prime streaming, as well as use any other app I may want to share with others, or enjoy in large format. For me, this is a no-compromise device.

- See it all on your big screen

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can we use with ipad generation 1 or 2?**
A: No. This device works only with Windows 8.1.For iPad and iPad 2 You most use the Apple TV. I have the both and the result Is really impressive with Apple TV, I recommend that.

**Q: This thing looks like it has a HDMI and USB connections on it. Do you plug it into a USB port on the TV or use a HDMI cable?**
A: The USB connection is purely for power.  If your TV or projector has an available 5v USB port, you use that.  One projector I connect mine to doesn't, so I've used a portable power pack I have for my mobile phone and that worked just fine.  However, it is usually on my Samsung smart tv which has a USB port right next to an HDMI port, which is the ideal situation.

**Q: A lot of reviewers are having a problem projecting Netflix and Hulu. Is there a way to do so or a better Miracast device? (I have a Surface Pro3)**
A: I have a surface Pro 3 and this MS Wireless Display Device and I love it.  I use it for corporate prestenations and it is flawless.  One of my favorite new tricks is to use it as a white board or a flip chart.   I walk around the room, wirelessly projecting the audience's responses as it write them down.  But I also use the device both at home and in hotel rooms to wirelessly send Netflix to a TV.  It works without fail every time.

**Q: Do it work with desktops?**
A: No. You need these specific devices:  Wireless display works on new Windows 8.1 wireless PCs. This includes Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, Nokia Lumia 2520, and Intel Atom Generation 3 ("Bay Trail") and Intel Core Generation 4 ("Haswell") systems. Some PC manufacturers have also added wireless display to some of their systems that originally shipped with Windows 8. This includes the Surface Pro and many systems based on Intel Core Generation 3 ("Ivy Bridge") and Intel Wi-Fi. Be sure to check for updates from Windows Update and from your PC manufacturer, including driver updates listed as Optional, when determining whether your PC manufacturer has made wireless display available on your upgraded Windows 8 device.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good when it works
*by O***R on November 17, 2015*

Good when it works, Windows 10 compatible UPDATED 22 Nov 15. This review discusses Windows 10 and the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter Three stars because of nearly useless Microsoft documentation, a minimalist "app", confusing initial setup with Windows 10, and apparently unavoidable dropouts / hang-ups. Otherwise, a useful device which does not require a wireless router / network for its own operation. Not requiring a wireless network to operate can be a major advantage, since audio/video can be transferred to a TV (or other HDMI-input display) in places like grandpa's living room, which may not have a wireless network – or in which existing wireless networks are weak or unreliable. Grandma can see all the latest grandkid photos from the smartphone on her TV set, big and bold, no network needed. As touted by Microsoft, the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter can wirelessly receive video and audio from appropriately configured smartphones, tablets, laptops, or any other devices with so-called "Miracast / WiDi" capability. The adapter receives video, audio, or both from a "controller" device and processes received signals into HDMI-format signals for use by TV sets, monitors, or anything else which accepts HDMI -format signals. I've never been able to continuously use this device for more than about an hour without it suddenly quitting, and having to be re-started. Most recent smartphones, tablets and laptops have the hardware (wireless interconnect) and software required to connect to, control and use the Microsoft Adapter. The adapter is easy to physically install. It must be connected to both HDMI and USB connectors on a TV set, since it gets its power from the USB connection. In use, the adapter gets warm, but in my experience, not hot. Once the adapter is physically connected to the TV set, the TV set turned ON, the device selected for display on the TV, and the device allowed to initialize, the "controller" – smartphone, tablet, laptop – must be wirelessly connected to it. As a minimum, that means the controller must download a free Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter app from the Microsoft Store. This begins the hassle, unless one already has a Microsoft account. Once the adapter app is installed on the controller device (smartphone, etc.), the controller is theoretically ready to "talk" to the Microsoft adapter; update the adapter firmware; establish system settings; and go to work transferring video and audio from the controller device to the TV or other display device. It is good to have the controller (laptop, etc.) within a few feet of the wireless adapter during this setup. Unless Windows 8.1 or 10 users are familiar with the operating system "project" function – the verb form, to shine upon or make visible / audible at a distance, not the noun form, an endeavor planned and executed – it can be a hassle finding the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter in Windows to set it up and use it. I'm not familiar with Windows 8.x – I have avoided it like the plague. In Windows 10, the easiest way I have found to find, set up and use the Microsoft adapter is to click on the "Notification" icon in system tray / notification area (lower right of the screen). Unless you've hidden it, a "Connect" block or tile will be present toward the bottom of the full Notification area window which appears. Click on the "Connect" block / tile to force the laptop to search for the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. If the "Connect" process finds the adapter, "MicrosoftDisplayAdapter_xx" (where xx is a number), will appear in the "Connect" window. Click on the name displayed to force Windows 10 to actually connect to the adapter. UPDATE: THIS PROCESS MAY OR MAY NOT REQUIRE A "PIN" FOR THE ADAPTER. Contrary to Microsoft claims in Windows 10 Start -> Settings -> Devices -> Connected Devices ->MicrosoftDisplayAdapter_xx, there is no PIN on the display adapter itself, nor in accompanying documentation. If a PIN is asked for by the Windows 10 "Connect" process, it will be displayed on the TV screen during a "pairing" process which is displayed on the TV or other display. UPDATE: If a PIN is used, once it has been entered in the Windows 10 "Connect" box on the control device (laptop, etc.), the requirement for a PIN can be disabled using the downloaded display adapter app. Open the app on the control device (Start -> All apps -> Wireless Display Adapter) and uncheck the "Pairing mode" box for "Require PIN code to pair". On subsequent use of the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter, the control device will connect to the adapter without the use of a PIN. UPDATE: If the video displayed on the TV is poor, it may be necessary to update the software driver for the Microsoft adapter. For Windows, this can most easily be done from "Device Manager". To access Device Manager in Windows 10, right-click the Start icon, and click Device Manager in the pop-up window. In Device Manager, find and click on "Miracast display devices". UPDATE: Right-click "MicrosoftDisplayAdapter_xx" ("xx" is a number). Click on "Update Driver Software". Select your preferred driver search, and complete the driver update. UPDATE: If all is well after driver update, continue to use the wireless display adapter. If the TV display is still unsatisfactory, it may help to restart windows and re-connect the control device (laptop, etc.) to the wireless display adapter. Once Windows 10 is connected to the Microsoft adapter, clicking on ""Change projection mode" will permit selecting "Duplicate", to ensure that if you view video on your laptop, that video will appear on your TV or other device. UPDATE: The Microsoft adapter can also be found from Start -> Settings -> Devices -> Connected devices ->Add a device. Clicking "Add a device" will cause Windows 10 to search, and it should find the Microsoft wireless display adapter. If it does, clicking on the "MicrosoftDisplayAdapter_xx Television" (where xx is a number) will bring up a window requiring a PIN, which the window claims is on the device or in its accompanying documentation. WRONG!!! There is no PIN on the device, or in accompanying documentation. See previous paragraphs to find the PIN displayed on your TV. For those not "in the know", this so-called "display adapter" is a peer-to-peer device operating in the 2.4 GHz radio frequency band (as do many, many other devices, particularly wireless routers and Bluetooth devices, increasing the likelihood of interference with this "adapter"). As a peer-to-peer device, this adapter "talks" directly to and from whatever is controlling it - a laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc. The controlling device (smartphone, etc.) must have "WiFi" (wireless local network) capability, plus appropriate software drivers and apps which allow the controlling device to "talk" to the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter using a so-called "Miracast" version of Intel Corporation's WiDi (Wireless Display) protocols, or similar Android devices and software with Miracast / WiDi capability. Strangely enough, "certification" of devices to work with Miracast / WiDi is performed by the Wi-Fi Alliance, a group of commercial companies initially brought together to make sure their own supposedly IEEE 802.11 - compliant devices were 1) actually compliant, and 2) would operate satisfactorily with each other. These firms trademarked the term "WiFi", for "Wireless Fidelity" - yeah, for real - meaning nothing more than devices compliant with IEEE 802.11 standards. UPDATE: Functionally, this means the controlling device (laptop, etc.) must have a wireless send-receive capability in the 2.4 GHz region, and have software which allows it to "pair" directly with the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter.
