I have never had an apple product with this terrible of quality. For $50 should definitely last longer especially not used much and always put up when not in use. Would not recommend wasting your money.

Poor Video Quality and No Audio Out of Headphone Jack

Instead of outputting native HDMI, this little device seems to take the output from the phone, compress it, and pass along an HDMI signal. The result is the vid Instead of outputting native HDMI, this little device seems to take the output from the phone, compress it, and pass along an HDMI signal. The result is the video quality is far below good HD quality. Expect all kinds of artifacts and other issues including lower than expected HD resolution. This is not a device that can replace a good streaming alternative, which is too bad considering Apple's devices are more than powerful enough for that purpose. For those of us hoping to use our phones or iPads to connect in business settings to display content, be aware that audio is only transmitted through the lightening port when this is plugged in, which gives no audio out through the headphone jack. That means that if you are plugging this into a projector's HDMI input, you are likely going to lose any sound that goes along with your presentation (or anything else) as most quality projectors do not have speakers. This is a big oversight in my opinion as lots of devices keep the analog audio out of a headphone jack or the like live while also transmitting sound over HDMI. Similarly, sound is not also sent via bluetooth when this is plugged in, so that's not an alternative either. I have both the bluetooth and headphone jack options open on my laptop, which has an HDMI out. So much for replacing a good old laptop.

Works as Advertised (Out-of-Box Review)

However, out of the box it seems to work exactly as advertised, with no teething issues. That said, I am using the adapter only to mirror my iPhone 8 onto a monitor for work, while my computer is being repaired off-site. I am not trying to stream content from Netflix and the like, which seems to be where many of the reviewers are running into problems. In fact, I am writing this review using my iPhone, a Bluetooth keyboard and an HP 25” monitor that is connected to the iPhone using the adapter. It’s a pretty sweet setup, and gives me just about the same functionality as my Lenovo E470 laptop, with some compromises I can live with.
