I connected this adaptor to my monitor and had to run a USB extension cable to power the device. The screen displayed instructions for connecting your casting device, be it iPhone, Mac, Samsung or other android variation. I used my Nexus 5 and before reading the instructions I had connect my phone wifi to the adaptor. Thinking this product is useless for broadcasting YouTube videos, I followed the on screen instructions and actually found I can cast to the device while staying connected to my network. My smartphone was being displayed on my monitor and I opened up YouTube to test out some videos. My monitor has built in speakers and I can confirm that the audio is also cast through this device. The picture quality was very good and I experience no issues with regard to lag, glitching, etc.
What is in the box:
Included in the box is the wireless to HDMI
display adapter, an HDMI extension lead (15cm), micro USB to USB power cable
(80cm) and user guide.
Build quality:
The build quality is okay, it feels a
little cheap as it is made of plastic which flexes under pressure.
Pros:
+ Streams phone to TV
+ Good quality picture
+ Build in instructions for connecting
Cons:
- Cheap plastic feel
- Requires power from USB
Conclusion:
This product is okay for its intended use, it
works very well and casting to the screen is very simple. I dislike having to
connect external power via USB, especially as I was using the product on my
monitor. Also the plastic material on the products feels like cheap plastic.
This product would be useful to enable casting on a TV which does not support
it natively, but ensure you have a USB port located nearby.
