Review on SmartSee MiraScreen Miracast Dongle - Wireless Display Adapter for Tablet Smartphone HDMI TV Stick Screen Mirroring by Jason Melvin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

But it works.

Reading the reviews, many commented on how easy the installation was. I didn't find it that easy, but I got it working. One annoying thing is that when it turns off (turning off the TV can do that) and when it turns back on and you want to use this device, you see it switch to Iphone when you turn it back on. You have to press a tiny button on the device to put it in android mode, otherwise it doesn't work with android and I have android phones. The TV powers the device, so every time I want to use it, I have to go to the TV and press that little button. The hardest part of my setup was not being able to see the device to select to use. I watched several videos and no one mentioned it. On a screen that was supposed to show you a wirelessly available device, but the device couldn't be selected until I found a button to click on the screen that said "Show invisible devices" and when I clicked it brought up that device . BUT you have to do this every time I use this thing. I hope I can remember how I'll need it next time since I don't use it every day. It works, but it should be easier to set up and you don't have to set it up every time you use it.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
