What's great about it: Wireless and HD
What's not so great: Nothing So Far
I have seen my computer connection to my television evolve from the late 90s with the introduction of the first DVD players from Creative that allowed the capacity to output with what were then the only inputs my sad little 27” television would accept – the composite video connectors. To utilizing a s-video and composite audio connection outputs from a laptop to my home theater system. To my last setup specifically purchased for the wired HDMI connection (that never seemed to work properly, but could have been a poor cable possibly – I did try more than one and have a pro tell me it was the manufacturer of my old laptop that was known to implement HDMI poorly).
I am thrilled to see this evolutionary step in bringing the output of my computer to my home theater system. Setup was a snap. I’m a helpdesk tech by profession; so, that may put some context to that, but there wasn’t any of this compatibility issue that I’ve seen mentioned. It did take a minor effort to get things synced up and there were updates, but that is to be expected in the setup of a new computer and peripherals to go along with it.
I don’t keep up with the latest trends like I once did and the introduction of WiDi slipped past me initially. I am glad that I didn’t catch on and make the upgrade until the release of 2.0 and have 1080p vs 720p. I hear 3.0 is coming out now with the 3rd gen Intel chips, but not even sure what it offers beyond dual monitor output and quicker response time.
For that matter, I just set mine up last night, but so far the performance seems to be perfectly acceptable for what little I have used it for – watching my music videos mostly. I have a pretty extensive collection of music videos of various qualities and they seem to display fairly well. My understanding is that this technology performs a real time encoding and decoding that permits the wireless transmission? Not sure, but it seems to display a fairly decent quality of output vs. what I have seen from the hardwire HDMI with no HDMI cable strung between my coffee table and the television! It’s a compromise I can live with at any rate.
I actually have a ‘smart Blu-ray player’ I believe it is referenced as? I purchased the Wi-Fi dongle to give it internet access. My particular model at least is a long way from being usable for Youtube, etc. Netflix works well, but it’s limited to say the least. I enjoy the full functionality of the laptop for my ‘smart’ device connection.
I’ve seen this referenced as a ‘sleeper technology’ and I would concur in spite of others proclaiming it to be trivial or outdated. I’m enthused about the upgrade – purchased a new laptop with the technology specifically targeted to remedy my connection issues.

What's great about it: It just works
What's not so great: Casing
Having recently purchased a notebook with wireless display capability, I needed the adapter for the TV side. Plugged it into an available HDMI port on my TV, and was up and running in minutes. I enjoy not have cables laying across the floor or having to find a suitable place to leave my computer near the TV.

I found this to be easy to set up and all cables included. Reception comes through strong and picture quality and sound quality are great. Haven't found any negatives to say about it yet, but only had about a month or so now. I would recommend it, may pick up another to travel with.

What's great about it: Allows me to use my TV for my computer without wires
What's not so great: A bit pricey
I have been wanting to be able to connect my HD tv and computer together ever since I got my TV last year. My old laptop just wasnt capable of such feats. I upgraded to a new HP laptop and bought this Netgear adapter with it. It was simple to connect, and works just as stated. I havent encountered any issues with it. My only gripe would be that it was $100. I would think something like this would be $50.

What's great about it: Really enjoying not being tethered to the TV by a cable!
What's not so great: Can not think of anything
I am technologically challenged but I love this product. It has untethered me from the TV when I use my laptop with my HD TV. The freedom of no cables and being able to be in different parts of the room is great! I do home meetings with this product and enjoy being able to talk and show the screen from different angles.

What's great about it: Easy
If you have the correct technology for this, you NEED to get it. It works GREAT. Had slight trouble getting it to connect at first, but that's because the device needed to restart and after that, it works great! Haven't had any trouble and is perfect for watching movies/videos or whatever from your laptop.

What's great about it: It does what it advertises it does!
This was my second try, the other Push2TV was for a laptop so I could not use it with my desktop. I'm not to sure how I got it to work. I spoke Netgear customer support. It was multi-time calls until I got to the the right party. It's small consumer department. After the person showed me what the Push2TV could do, I hung up and experimented for about 15 minutes and VOILA, it worked!
I showed one client how it works and he said he has an immediate use for it on two clients of his.

I want to buy another one for my bedroom. This device is amazing and when tied with my Intel WiDi enabled computer, I couldn't ask for more. There is no lag time between computer and TV. I can stream absolutely everything that is on my computer to the TV so that my husband can see what I am buying next.

The product seems nice if I could have gotten it to work. I got this unit FREE with my laptop purchased online from Best Buy, which was awesome until I found out that it was not compatible with the laptop. Yes, I repeat, Best Buy gave me free hardware WITH the laptop that does not work ON the lapto! I spent two hours trying to set it up with no luck, finally I called Netgear and they informed me the VAIO laptop was not compatible. Way to go Best Buy! Tomorrow I will try to get BB to swap it out for the adapter that is compatible.

What's great about it: Can stream netflix while my family does same in another room.
What's not so great: Keeping laptop open and running (battery) while using.
Great unit. Is a little difficult as when I want to close laptop it also shutsdown my picture on the TV. But as long as my laptop is open it works like a champ. I primarily use it to watch netflix, while others in the family are watching netflix in the bedroom. I plan on using this while traveling with our trailer. ALSO great to show trip photos.

What's great about it: It eliminates connecting and unconnecting the HDMI cable.
What's not so great: Noticeable delay between mouse and pointer movement.
The unit is quick and easy to setup and use. The MiDi wireless connection eliminates the need for making a direct HDMI cable connection to your large scree TV. However, there is a very noticeable delay between moving the mouse and the movement of the pointer on screen. This is not a problem for most uses, but would be unacceptable for fast moving interactive gaming.

This was one of the easiest things I've ever set up, and I'm no techie by any stretch. My pc already had intel widi on it, so all I had to do was plug the netgear box into a power source, connect it to an hdmi port on my tv, switch the tv to that hdmi port source, and start the intel widi on my pc. The pc walked me through a couple simple steps, and that was that. I use this mainly to stream basketball games off espn3. After that first time, all I have to do is switch my tv source and start the widi on pc, and I'm in. I used to run a monitor cable from my pc to tv, but this is far superior: it gives a better picture, there's no stupid monitor cable, and best of all, it puts the sound on the tv, so I can control it with my regular remote. Supposedly you can also set up to do something else on the pc while the video streams to the tv, but I haven't tried that yet, although I plan to.

What's great about it: Easy to setup, fantastic all around
What's not so great: slight delay in mouse usage, occasional dropped connection
Should be $50 bucks though. Every now and then it dropped the connection, but easy to reconnect. I use it constantly to drag tabs off of Internet Explorer and onto the screen to watch something and continue to work on the laptop at the same time. Make sure you have a newer TV that has the 1900 resolution othewise it could look fuzzy. Love it for the most part.

What's great about it: The display
What's not so great: The setup
I was a bit hesitant in purchasing this product because it was not listed as compatible in the netgear website. I have a Sony Vaio VPCEH 2nd gen Intel Core i3, but the salesman assured me it would, if not I could bring it back for a full refund. Well i took it home and at first did not work, after looking at the troubleshooting tips, I learned I had to update my software by clicking on the links provided. After that, setup was a breeze! The updates even bettered my HD graphics and the display on my HDTV is amazing! No lag whatsoever! I'm glad I purchased this product and will be using the hell out of it!
