In addition to its rock-solid reliability, there are a number of nice things about the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter.įirst, because it’s Miracast, it doesn’t require a Wi-Fi network to work: you just make a direct connection between a compatible PC or device (see below) and the dongle. (If there’s no USB port on the TV, you can use a standard cell phone-like power adapter instead.) It’s a simple and, at $60 at the Microsoft Store, inexpensive solution: Just plug in the HDMI end of the dongle to an available HDMI port on the TV and plug the USB end into a USB port for power. We’re in Puerto Rico this week for the kids’ vacation-how we managed to get out of Boston and its historic snowfalls and low temperatures is still unclear-and I brought along the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter for this very reason. And I now bring such a device with me on family trips so that we can all enjoy TV shows or movies together on the big screen. While Miracast was once an unreliable solution for replicating a PC or device screen to an external display, Microsoft’s newer Miracast dongles-in particular the inexpensive Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter-change all that.
