I was able to connect my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10 to my Panasonic TC-P65VT50 Plasma HDTV within two minutes, see and hear whatever was on the Surface also on my TV.The Surface Pro 3 is Miracast enabled if using Windows 8.1 and 10. Its native screen resolution is 2160 x 1440 and will support attachment of additional HDMI devices.I did not purchase the adapter to view TV; but, my new projector has not yet arrived. I had no expectation that my 2012 TV even had a powered USB connector since its specifications did not clearly state that fact. I plugged the adapter into one of its HDMI ports then one of its USB ports and the little white light on the adapter lit up. Then it was as simple as connecting the Surface to the adapter device. Like magic, it worked. I can see everything on my Surface also on my TV. PowerPoint played fine including imbedded video with audio.No, the Surface image did not fill the 65" HDTV screen fully. The free Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter application has a slider to resize the image. That allowed me to fit the full Surface screen to the TV, leaving some black to the image sides. The sound was louder than normal from television. The image looked as clear as on my Surface only much larger. If I have the same results thru a HD projector, then mission accomplished.FYI: the adapter kit includes a separate male / female HDMI plug of almost 7 inches. It would allow you to run HDMI cable from the wireless adapter to your TV / projector. That might be useful if you have difficulty reaching a powered USB port.Logically, I would agree that a wired HDMI or DisplayPort connection could pass more audio and video data than this wireless device; but with the inconvenience of being tethered to the other device. Oddly, I use satellite or 100 Mbps wired Ethernet to watch movies on my TV, not a cell phone or a computer. So this wireless adapter seems quite adequate to my needs. My tip: ensure you do meet the specifications of the adapter by checking the available Technical Data Sheet.UPDATE: Also no issues connecting to a Epson PowerLite 1284 projector. Resolution at projector is 1920 x 1440. No direct cable connection, pure wireless. Sound is louder than at the PC. I also tried the Epson USB connection to the projector. Not any higher perceptible resolution and no sound. Very minor delay apparent only to me not audience. This is a keeper with direct HDMI or USB as alternate plans.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well after firmware updates.
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2016

This product will work very well, but it seems to need a firmware update to work at all.

I tried to connect this device up to a large Visio TV to communicate with a Surface Pro 3 that was upgraded to Windows 10. Initially, the tablet would not connect, and would timeout when trying to connect. After trying to connect using a new Windows 10 Surface Book it initially failed on the first two attempts and then ultimately connected after a short delay.

Both myself and our IT staff seem to think the Surface Book was updating the firmware as well as connecting. The next time connecting with the same Surface Pro 3 as before ran without a hitch, and the adapter can now be connected to any display and works very well, even transmitting the sound. As a downside the Visio TV for some reason will not sense the adapter and automatically switch to the HDMI port the adapter is plugged in to.

Also works well with Android phones. Not sure of the version, Android 4.4 I think. Haven't tried it yet with an iPad.

I'm very pleased with my purchase of this Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter when it was on sale recently at Amazon. This Display Adapter was very easy to install on the back of the TV set and now allows me to mirror any screen image on my Amazon Kindle, my Microsoft Surface tablet or even from my Windows laptop PC and transmitted the picture wirelessly all the way across the room to enjoy on the big screen. So far it has performed flawlessly. High quality picture. A lot easier to use than hooking up an HDMI cable. I'm now planning to buy another one for the TV set upstairs. But make sure you look around for the lowest price. I've seen it on sale at some outlets for around $45 in Canada and ranges in price up to about $80 in some stores. So wait for the best deals and try to avoid paying full list price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have Adapter!

The product is as mentioned and the service was completely satisfactory. Very professional in nature and consignment was delivered before planned delivery time.

Complaint to Microsoft: The only thing with the product is that it is good for power point presentations, or still image based projection. The reception lags as compared to real time transmission, as there is a significant delay in the broadcast vs reception. If you use a mouse to present, you will be highly disappointed since you will lose patience with the control. Overall, a must have device, for dual projection based multi tasking, more specifically, multi tasking activities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funktioniert problemlos unter Windows 10 und koppelt verschiedene Geräte wieder zuverlässig mit TV und Beamer
Reviewed in Germany on November 20, 2015
Verified Purchase
Zumindest bei mir klappt alles wieder:

Nach dem Update auf Windows 10 Home und später auf W10 Professional (kostenpflichtige Vollversion) war es unmöglich geworden, mein Großtablet Lenovo Flex 20 mit einem modernen (und eigentlich Miracast-fähigen) LED Beamer (LG PA1000T) kabellos zu koppeln. Das funktionierte unter Windows 8.1 noch problemlos (abgesehen von öfterem Verbindungsverlust). LG schob die "Schuld" auf Microsoft, räumte aber später ein, dass die Beamer-Firmware und der Miracasttreiber mit Windows 10 nicht kompatibel sei und kein Termin bekannt sei, wann sich das ändert. Ich kann hier auch nur für die Windows Version 1511 (Build 10586) sprechen, in dieser sollten einige windowsseitigen Miracastfehler beseitigt sein.

Also zuerst die Treiber für Grafikkarte, Bluetooth- und WLAN-Adapter auf dem Flex aktualisiert. Man sollte auch jedenfalls immer vor Kauf des Adapters testen, ob der WLAN-Treiber des PC mindestens NDIS 6.4 unterstützt (den Befehl für die Powershell kann man leicht googeln). Dann den Adapter in die HDMI und USB Anschlüsse am Beamer gesteckt, Beamer angeschaltet und HDMI im Menü als Signalquelle ausgewählt (nur beim ersten Mal nötig, später erkennt der Beamer den Stick automatisch). Dann normal in der Windows 10 Taskleiste das Infocenter angeklickt und in dem dann erscheinenden Charm dann "Verbinden" tippen/klicken. Nach wenigen Sekunden wurde der Stick angezeigt. Diesen Eintrag anklicken und nach wenigen Sekunden war die Verbindung hergestellt. Damit kann ich nun wieder kabellos arbeiten. Funktioniert auch an einem Samsung Fernseher und mit einem älteren Acer 7750 Laptop sowie einem Lumia 1520 Phone (W10) und einem Samsung S5 (Android 5.x). Das Nexus 6 Android-Phone (Android 6.0) ist leider nicht Miracast-fähig und kann leider nicht am MWDA betrieben werden (für ein Referenzgerät von Google eine äußerst schwache Kür...), doch das liegt nicht am MWDA..

Ich kann insoweit die Windows 10 Probleme einiger Bewertungen nicht bestätigen. Auch die Verbindung zu den Geräten ist jetzt mit dem Stick deutlich stabiler als seinerzeit ohne Stick mit Windows 8.1.

Tipp: Im Windows 10 Store die App Microsoft Wireless Display herunterladen, Stick an einem Beamer/TV in Betrieb nehmen und in der App den Overscan und den Sticknamen einstellen sowie Firmware-Updates vornehmen. Das Windowsgerät immer mit der empfohlenen Auflösung betreiben und Overscan dann über die App einstellen, sonst wird es ggf. unscharf. Am Beamer dann immer das korrekte Seitenverhältnis dieser Auflösung wählen.

Minuspunkte: Der Adapater wird im Betrieb ziemlich heiss, also Vorsicht. Mag beim TV kein Problem sein, aber beim Abbauen und Verpacken vom Beamer sollte man verdammt aufpassen. Ein kleiner Aufkleber sollte einen Schutz-Hinweis enthalten, der fehlt aber. Es gibt auch manchmal einen zeitlichen Versatz von Bild und Ton und sich bewegende Mauszeiger werden im Beamer-/TV-Bild oft nicht exakt an der wirklichen Position angezeigt. Aber das ist normal, da Miracast sehr rechenintensiv ist und damit Zeit braucht. Oft verschwindet das Nachhängen von Bild und Ton nach kurzer Zeit wenn sich die Übertragung stabilisiert hat - selbst bei schwachen Smartphones.

5.0 out of 5 stars si è rivelato pratico, versatile e utile in tante occasioni!

da premettere che il ritardo tra ciò che si vede sulla sorgente (smartphone nel mio caso) e ciò che si vede nel display adapter C'E', è poco ma aumenta all'aumentare della distanza/quantità di dati trasmessi e dipende molto anche dalla potenza di calcolo del dispositivo sorgente.

fatta questa premessa, nel mio caso il dongle microsoft sostituisce in tutto il cavo hdmi!
collegato a un tv da 19 pollici per fare il mirroring del mio z3 compact (snapdragon 801 e android 5.1.1) al quale collego in bluetooth anche una tastiera nintendo e un mouse (Andoer Mini Slim 3D Bluetooth 3.0 acquistato su amazon) per avere una postazione desktop android.
il telefono lo tengo a un paio di metri di distanza per comodità e il collegamento avviene in 5/7 secondi, già i video in streaming di youtube a 1080p a 50 fps girano SENZA scatti. l'ho usato anche per diverse ore consecutive per vedere film e non ho avuto perdite di segnale o riavvii del dongle (immagino che il firmware sia aggiornato alla versione più recente, che migliorava la stabilità).
l'ho usato anche sul mio proiettore lg pb60g per il mirroring dello smartphone, più che altro per le partite di premium play tramite l'app e per i film mkv 1080p (perchè il proiettore di suo non legge). con lo z3 o lo z3 compact funziona solo se hanno a bordo android 5.x.x ma guardando su intervìnet ho visto che era un bug solo di questi ultimi sony, per gli altri funziona anche kitkat. il consiglio è quello di cercare un po su internet per vedere la compatibilità. posso però affermare con certezza che uno smartphone con snapdragon serie 800 non avrà problemi di fluidità.
