It mirrors your phone to a tv through a hdmi cable? How do they work? Do you lose a lot of video and audio quality through the adapter?
Also which one did you buy? The prices are all over the board and manufacturers.

My guess is to pay the price through Apple for the best results?

The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view

They work fine. We use them when connecting iPads to both TVs and projectors in conference rooms. No noticeable signal loss.

I don't have any preference for one brand over another, I can't count the times i've had to pick one up while traveling for work after someone borrowed one out of my bag and was just happy to find whatever brand they had.

Awesome so they all seem to work equally well! Thanks for your input!

If you want one that is still inside the box, I can send it to you gratis. Just email me your address. I've never used it. The tape is still secure; I've never open the box. Consider it an instant karma.

But do respond to this thread posting my name if you want it so I'd know to look for your email.

I use the A/V Adapter/HDMI cable on my iPad Air all the time to stream NHL games to the TV in the hotel room. I would surmise it would work the exact same way off my iPhone 6S. Word of caution...I would stick with an Apple brand adapter. I tried a couple of "clone" adapters for less cost and they didn't work too well, if at all. And you don't need a high dollar HDMI cable...just something reasonable.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

No need to return me anything. I'm in the process of de-cluttering. :-)

Depending on your phone, TV (or other device, like Apple TV,Roku, etc.) and what you're trying to display, you might be able to do it wirelessly.

I have the apple one and have displayed from my IPAD to the tv. Quality is perfect. Some things won't allow you to airplay.....like tv streaming services like Netflix etc.
