Smart phone to dumb t.v.
This dongle replaced it's predecessor whom lost it's sound. Works great on mirroring my phone's screen on my dumb t.v. Picture and sound are superb. Picture is way better than when I tether my PS3 to my phone to watch Netflix. Also, I do not use my hotspot data with this dongle. It only mirrors what is playing through my phone.
The downside is that your phone screen must remain on and plugged to power while watching anything. To solve battery drain issue, I dim the phone's screen, it does not dim the t.v.'s picture. My t.v. does not have a power port in the back, so the dongle is connected to a phone charger while I use it.
No programming or downloading necessary to use it. Plug dongle into t.v.'s hdmi, turn on t.v., power dongle on, press screen sharing on your phone, elect Microsoft or Dell, watch your shows. Boom, that easy.
