j5create ScreenCast 4K Wireless Adapter Screen Cast from Mobile Phone, Tablet, or Laptop Support for AirPlay, Miracast & Chromecast Mirror Extend for Windows & macOS Wireless Screen Display (JVAW76)

This is a great device. I have a somewhat older, lower cost TV with limited features. It was easy to setup and wirelessly connect my laptop to the TV. This allows me to display my photoshop work live and see it at the final size. Well worth the cost.

We needed to find an alternative for the Microsoft wireless display adapter, and we ended up finding an upgrade! We have multiple conference rooms with tvs at my work and some of the Window laptops would not connect to the Microsoft WDA. When Microsoft discontinued them, we found these and LOVE that you can cast Apple devices to it. And every Windows laptop has been able to cast effortlessly. Devices do not need to be connected to WiFi, which is an added bonus. All that needs to be done is connect to the TV and cast! We're in the process of replacing all of our Microsoft devices with these.

When I first plugged the ScreenCast into a 75" Samsung TV in a classroom, the TV entered its device detection mode and appeared to stall there. I wasn’t sure how to proceed. Rebooting didn’t resolve the issue, and I experienced the same behavior when I tested it on a smaller Samsung TV at home. At that point, I assumed the unit was defective and exchanged it. With the replacement, I tested it on an LG TV, and the ScreenCast menu appeared immediately—no issues at all. However, when I returned to the Samsung classroom TV, the same “device detection” behavior occurred again. This time, I exited that mode using the TV’s “Previous/Back” button, and the ScreenCast menu appeared as expected. After that, setup with iOS screen mirroring was straightforward, and performance was excellent. The picture quality was very good, with no noticeable lag. I’m giving this product 4 stars due to the initial confusion. It works well once you get past the Samsung TV’s device detection screen, but the lack of guidance around this behavior could be frustrating for first-time users.

Cant believe they try to sell these. The device has issues connecting with every device I tried (windows, android, and IOS). If and when you get it to connect there is nothing good. Image quality is very bad, there is a constant left to right "wave" that occurs as a sort of buffering along with image artifacts ranging from slightly noticeable to the entire screen flashing in random colored blocks. I bad image quality and glitches weren't enough the device also drops connection after a few minutes constantly. There was a firmware update but if anything, the update made the device worse.

I am an IT professional. I purchased this item as a possible solution to cast a to a TV so that you could easily mirror a desktop computer to a TV without having to run cables between them. It is pretty fantastic if your environment only has Windows and Android devices. You can easily add it to your wifi network and configure it from your computer. My favorite part was that it displayed the connection instructions on the TV so end users can easily be reminded what (very simple) steps need to be followed to mirror to the TV Unfortunately, the macOS and iOS options are unacceptable. In order to connect such a device, you have to disconnect form your current network and connect to the ad hoc network being broadcast by the j5create ScreenCast. Then you can use Airplay to mirror. So, unless you have a wired connection, you lose your connection to the internet. Additionally, the thought of having hundreds of end users needing to be trained on how to accomplish the goose, grain, and fox puzzle of connecting to this network but remembering to disconnect to avoid internet connectivity issues is the stuff of nightmares for people in my line of work. If you are blessed to be in a Windows only environment, this is a rock solid solution. But, I'm looking for an OS-agnostic single solution to deploy enterprise wide, so I must keep looking.

good

The J5 Screen Cast it's difficult to connect to the main source and once it's connected it keeps on disconnecting or it slows down the web pages due to interference from Microsoft virtual adapter.

This was a little more than I wanted to pay at the time, but it works flawlessly. Great way to hook any (essentially) device to a tv/monitor very quickly without running cables.
