Microsoft Wireless Display V2 Adapter - Black

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!

Screen mirroring tools from Android mobile devices run a pretty big gamut, but if you're looking for an easy to use, reliable device with a quality picture, there's not really anywhere else to go but here. Excellent full screen projection, high quality reciever, and a vivid, colorful display. The Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter is exactly what I needed when I wanted to cast my screen. I will be thinking twice about getting any other product in the future.

This adapter works great for what I needed it for, which was to broadcast my computer screen on a tv without wires. If you're worried about the bad reviews of people saying they can't connect or update it, here's the thing: This product does NOT work on Windows 11 right out of the box. This version of the Microsoft Display Adapter was first introduced in 2014. Windows 11 was introduced in 2021. Some of you may luckily get an adapter that has been updated before it was packaged, so a few of you might luckily get one that does work well with Windows 11 right out of the box, but that's extremely rare. You MUST first connect and update this in a Windows 10 device. Only once you do that update will you be able to use this with Windows 11 devices. The newer 4k version of this adapter is the one that works with Windows 11 right out of the box.

I purchased this to mirror my PC screen for a golf simulator. I had previously been mirroring with Roku, which produced a choppy and laggy video. Roku is fantastic for streaming YouTube, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc., but it is neat good for mirroring a PC screen/video game. Installation and operation couldn't possibly be any more simple. I plugged it into my projector, and about 15 seconds later, Windows Key + K, then select the Microsoft Display adapter. No software installation is required at all. There is almost zero lag and no choppiness at all. I'm kicking myself for not purchasing it sooner.

Plug it into the HDMI port of TV, plug in the USB end to a USB port on the TV(for power). For Windows10 search 'connect to wireless display' or if using a laptop it most likely has a function key that looks like a monitor for choosing projectors or secondary displays. Either way there is a 'connect to wireless display' button, hit that and wait a few seconds and you'll see your TV show up on the list. Click on it and another few seconds you'll have a 2nd display that can be used as a clone, an extension, or as the sole display. I've had no issues with lag, drop out, audio glitches, or anything else negative. Just a smooth extended monitor. I have not tested range, however, as I use mine within 10-15feet of the receiver.

I bought this to use with a Lenovo laptop with windows 11 on. It didn't connect to this display adapter. But it was working with another laptop with Win 10 installed. I updated the firmware in the Widi adapter and the issue was solved but it took me days to figure out the solution. The firmware update I got wasn't new. It was a few years old already. I don't understand why they sell these adapters with a firmware from 2021.

We were looking for adapters for all the meeting room TVs we have at work and needed something cost effective and that would connect easily to all company laptops. Lucky for us, that Windows 10 is on all out company laptops and they have the built in function of connecting to these devices using a hot key or or method. This has allowed us to let anyone in out global company to be able to connect to our TVs at anytime they are in our facility without the need of extra software or cables. I just wish these were not going out of "style".

After reading some users poor reviews, I came upon a positive review of this which had an almost identical use case. I am 15 feet away from the TV I am projecting to, from an Android 9/Samsung Galaxy A10. I do not have WiFi. Streaming both Amazon Prime Video, HBO, and Netflix using mobile data, I have no issues whatsoever in lag, watching all movies and series on the big screen right out of the box. Setup and configuration could not have been simpler. It worked the first time, and continues to work flawlessly. I just got this a few days ago and have already logged 15 hrs of casting without issue using the aforementioned configuration. Very happy.

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.

muy práctico

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!

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.

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.

Klare Kaufempfehlung!

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

Correspond tout-à-fait à mes attentes. Permets l'utilisation du mode Continuum ou la duplication de l'écran de son smartphone Windows sur un écran (TV, vidéo projecteur), permets de dupliquer son écran d'ordinateur portable sur un écran TV ou un vidéo projecteur distant via "projeter/dupliquer". La mise à jour du micrologiciel fonctionne très bien grâce à l'application "affichage sans fil" du Windows Store (application disponible uniquement pour les ordinateurs, pas pour les smartphones sous Windows 10 mobile). Ce dispositif prend peu de place. C'est un pois plume. L'adaptateur qui permet de réunir les deux cotés est pratique. Dispositif qui peut être très utile pour les professionnels (ou autres) itinérants. une source de courant USB proche doit être disponible. Dans le cas contraire, il faut avoir à disposition un prolongateur USB.
