SmartSee Anycast HD Wireless Display Adapter WiFi 1080P Mobile Screen Mirroring Receiver Dongle for iPhone Mac iOS Android to TV Projector Support Miracast Airplay DLNA

Great for casual screen mirroring, but setup could be easier.” I’ve been using this SmartSee Anycast wireless display adapter for a few weeks now to mirror my phone and laptop to the TV. When it works, the picture looks clear in 1080P, and it’s super handy for showing photos, videos, and presentations on a bigger screen. I like that it supports AirPlay, Miracast, and DLNA, so it connects with both my iPhone and Android devices without needing extra cables.

I purchased this device because the description said that it works without local WiFi. Unfortunately it will not allow streaming of any videos that I was able to find through the devices WiFi. After 15 minutes the device was incredibly hot to the touch. Audio only seems to cast fine. It sort of works without local local WiFi but there is a significant lag between the audio and video. It does require an external USB power supply so if you’re going to buy this you’ll want to purchase a USB extension cord for setup.

The HD screen mirroring delivers incredibly clear picture quality with vibrant and natural colors. Casting your phone's content to the TV provides a fully immersive viewing experience, even better than premium screen mirroring services. Perfect! Better than I expected.

Works very good with my Samsung android phone. Haven't tried Windows laptop yet but probably be the same. Problem is that Airplay is the default. I had it plugged into usb on the TV for power. When I turn off the TV, it loses power and defaults back to Airplay. Then you have to reach behind the TV and find the tiny button to switch it back to android. So now I have a usb type power supply plugged into a short extension cord for power because the supplied cord isn't quite long enough to reach the outlet. In my opinion, it would have been much smarter to put a switch on it, instead of a tiny button so it would stay in android mode if wanted it to.

I bought it to be able to cast live streaming (football games on Fox Sports, etc.) from my iPhone, via cellular data, to a flatscreen TV at my deer lease during hunting season. Testing first at home showed how that particular use won’t work. The Good: • Plug it in, enter the password, and it simply works. • You don’t need Wi-Fi. Your mobile device communicates directly with the little Wi-Fi dongle that plugs into the device which then plugs into the HDMI port on your TV. The Bad: • Documentation , printed and online, is awful. • No advance warning that you need a 5V DC USB power supply to power the device. • The required password (12345678) is documented nowhere. However, if you are quick to catch it in a Chinese YouTube video, it works. The Other: • Many online video resources prevent casting streamed content to an external display. I guess they want to prevent bars from circumnavigating paying big licensing fees for rebroadcasting; this means my intended use won’t work.

Total garbage doesn’t work at all. Forces you to use a different Wi-Fi so then you can’t actually use it. Don’t buy this stupid thing.

Worked fine

Will this connect a screen to a non-smart TV? Maybe, sometimes. Will it have a good connection from less than 5 ft a way with little screen lag? No. Will your screen lag, flicker, or otherwise be an inconvenience? Almost Always. Setup is easy when it works and infuriating when it doesn't. There is no support for this item and the direction it has given no trouble shooting. Plug it in, and either it will work or it won't. Good luck, maybe just buy a really long HDMI cable instead.
