I'm Maya's Acrobat CNET and this is the Microsoft Wireless Display adapter the device does exactly what its name says it lets you connect a miracast enabled machine to a TV projector or monitor wirelessly there's not much the actual device pop off the cap and you'll find an HDMI connector on the other end as a USB cable that's used to power the device Microsoft chose not to include a USB plug for some reason but a lot of modern TVs or monitors have powered USB ports so this shouldn't be a problem the Wireless Display adapter doesn't do much by itself it just waits for you to connect a Windows 8.1 machine or compatible Android device if your windows 8.1 tablets up to date you send your tablet screen to a TV by going to devices then project then add a wireless display the adapter uses miracast which means you don't have to have the adapter on the same network as your tablet the adapter and the tablet can see each other directly which is great if you're traveling with the device performance was very good with a tiny bit of lag the Wireless Display adapter isn't meant for gaming but for sharing video or showing a presentation the adapter can also allow you to extend your desktop but then you're going to need a trackpad or a mouse to put Windows on that second screen if you're looking at the Microsoft Wireless Display adapter as a home theater device you're probably better off with a Roku device that runs its own apps or the cheaper google chromecast however if you're looking for a device that complements your windows 8.1 or Android device for travel or presentations the Microsoft Wireless Display adapter could be for you a mayas actor and this has been the Microsoft Wireless at display adapter
