I'm not so good in english when writing a review... lolzzz

Pd harga rm53 setelah ditolak segala mak bapak kupon yg ada, dongle ini agak berbaloi utk dibeli berbanding chromecast yg berharga rm170. Anyway, ada jugak dongle lain yg lebih murah tp x sehebat ezcast ni kerana dia ada web, firmware support & appl sendiri dlm p.store

Initial setup juga agak mudah. Cucuk usb powered n cucuk dongle ke hdmi tv. On suis dan akan display ssid n pwd. Dlm hp connect ke wifi dongle guna ssid n pwd yg diberikan. Lps tu pi ke settings dan connect dongle ke wifi router rumah.

Seblm mula, dload dulu latest firmware jika ada. Lps tu pi p.store, dload n install ezcast mobile app.

Ezcast appl ni support 2 function :-
a) Mirror direct guna ezcast appl itself
b) Mirror via wifi display

Kita tgk fungsi (a) dulu. Open ezcast appl td n on mirroring. Apa2 appl di dlm hp akan di'mirror' ke dlm tv. Cuma yg x bestnya suara/bunyi je yg x di'mirror'. Suara/bunyi cuma leh didengar di dlm hp shj.

Antara item yg telah berjaya di'mirror' tanpa suara/bunyi di tv :-
- astro on the go
- games
- fb video call
- 1080p x.265 movie
- youtube
- mobdro
- tv malaysia apk

Td guna teknik (a), sekrg guna teknik (b) lak. Dlm menu ezcast app, klik ez mirror. Klik ON mirror. Wifi dlm hp ke dongle akan disconnect & akan connect ke wifi rumah. Lps tu pi ke wifi display dlm hp settings & select ssid dongle. Output akan di'cast' ke dlm tv. Dgn teknik ni bunyi/suara akan di'cast' bersama ke dlm tv.

Tp ada cons pulak, 1080p agak tearing especially suara dia. Kdg2 smooth, kdg2 sangkut sikit2.

"Cast" menggunakan nbook juga mudah. Dload ezcast app for windows dan install. Fungsi sama spt app hp.

Verdict :-
If u want fast n speed, no lag at all (100% like ur hp), choose option (a) but no sound output to tv. But anyway, no issue, u can buy JBL GO speaker (or any speaker) with bluetooth function.
From ur hp, u can BT to the speaker

If u wan lag a bit, then choose option (b), no external speaker required. All sound in tv.

Jd sekiranya anda suka travel spt balik kg atau jln2 tidoq hotel, maka dongle ni sesuai utk anda kerana mudah dibawa. Dipadankan dgn digi unlimited, anda boleh layan mobdro n utube sepuas-puasnya.

Sekian shj review utk kali ini.

Bro, could you share the link to the EZcast that you bought.

I just need to be sure which model it really was before I make my purchase.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the info.

BTW, I read your "option b". Could we use you option b (with mirrored audio) without the need to connect to "wifi rumah"?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for your willingness to give it a try.

They reason I ask because I just want to play Netflix (using my phone internet, hot home internet) and cast the video directly to my TV without the need to use any router. Just direct from my phone to my TV.

Your phone under certified netflix device for hd streaming? Otherwise you'll only get 480p shakehead.gif

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23939

This is what I don't like their so called approved devices for hd streaming, even devices that are more than capable enough to support 1080p only gets SD

I wouldnt worry about it too much. I primary concern is just to play Netflix (using my phone's internet) and cast directly the video and audio from the phone to my TV.

And I do agree with you on the so-called "approved devices" policy.

Btw, are you currently using any cast dongle? If you are, do share your experience.

Thank you in advance.

I see. How about using Miracast mode? Can I stream Netflix while casting my phone screen to my TV?

I need to use my phone data directly because webe doesn't allow free Wi-Fi.

I thought you said that "option a" is mirroring with no audio.
