    Does exactly what it says

    • Written by from Cupertino

    Not sure what all the fuss is about? I am able to connect my iPhone 4S to this adapter to a HDMI cable to my TV and my phone display is mirrored on the TV. I am able to play slideshows (with music) and videos from my photo album (which is what I needed this for). I also able to show videos using the Youtube app and show games like Angry Birds.

    The only complaint (and it's a small one) is the pictures do not completely fill the TV screen (there are small black bars above and below). That's probably due to the fact that the iPhone outputs in 720p and my TV is 1080p?

    No issues. The only apps with issues are things like xfinity player, but not due to technical limitations. There are contractual limitations.

    The following apps work fine:
    Videos
    Pictures
    Music
    Netflix
    home screen

    I recently purchased the digital AV adapter and it works great. By plugging the adapted into my tv and my iPad 2, I have been able to watch Netflix, view all of my photos, watch my own videos, listen to music, look at my calender... etc. I have not tried the connection with my iPhone 4, but as of now, I am very happy with the adapter.

    Works Flawlessly

    I was intimidated by the negative reviews but went ahead with the purchase anyway. I needed this adapter to play iTunes rented movies and TV Shows off my iPad 3 onto my Panasonic Plasma 46". I have played SD content so far (Skyfall) but i have checked the specs of my plasma and it support HDCP so there should be no issues with protected HD content.
    Both picture and sound were great.

    worth the pricey tag for me...

    I have the first Ipad and when I first connected it to my TV the screen it was blank and I was really angry. It worked once I opened up Netflix though so I guess it just doesn't work until your movie is playing.

    I have a iphone 4s with os 6.1.1. I tried every idea I found on the internet. Nothing worked.
    I changed the HDMI cable to the best one I had. Now it works.

    This adapter is perfect for connecting a Ipad 3 with the 30 pinconnector to a tv.Because you connect to theTV with a HDMI cable the sound is also sent to the tv.

    Was a bit skeptic after the reviews but can say it works as expected (iOS 6.1).
    The only thing is that some apps don't support the HDMI output towards the TV and the only way to know is to try, therefore blame the app developers for that restriction or lack of information... Luckily for me most the apps I use do support HDMI output.

    AV or VGA

    Everybody saying this doesn't work with iPhone 4 or iPad 2 or whatever, know that this is an AV adapter and you might need an VGA adapter instead, also the VGA adapter costs less than this one although it doesn't support charging. Bottom line is if this one doesn't work, then maybe you need the other one.

    One more thing, if your movies from iTunes don't play on your projector or TV screen, it's not due to the adapter, it's due to the fact that your projector doesn't allow HD movies to play. Newer projectors allow HD movies to play, I forgot the name of the thing that doesn't allow
    HD movies but its found in older projectors and TV's.

    This is a great adaptor I've never had a problem except when the television in one hotel didn't have HDMI ports.

    Fixed the sound problem

    The video is great. True high def but sound through the hdmi is spotty. My fix...start your video file playing after a second plug in an aux cord to the headphone jack. The result is crystal clear audio with a high def image on your screen. This is worth every penny I spent on it. The hdmi only carries stereo accross so the headphone jack is no loss in audio quality

    So I read the reviews and was skeptical to buy. I took a plunge and purchased the adapter... I can always return it right? Using it now as I am typing out this review. It works well... No complaints so far ! I wish there was as sort of remote app to control the iPad while I'm in bed lol!

    Don't know what all the complaints are about. I purchased this connector and it worked great on both my 3rd generation iPad and my 4S iPhone. I have OS6 loaded on both devices. Images and mirroring is terrific. Slideshows work great as well as itunes music etc.

    I was spooked from buying this based on the bad reviews. But I took the plunge anyway as I needed to mirror my ipad for presentations. For my experience, it just works. It mirrors EVERYTHING from videos, to photos, photo streams, ALL of my apps and even audio. Remember that it uses HDMI so one cable for video+audio.

    So really, it works flawlessly.

    (I'm using iPad 3rd gen, Retina, with iOS 6.0.1)
