REVIEW: AnyCast M2 Plus Wireless Display Receiver

The AnyCast M2 Plus allows you to experience full HD wireless screen mirroring on a compatible TV at a very affordable price. That's right, if you are looking for a decent screen mirroring dongle, you might want to opt for AnyCast M2 Plus instead of buying expensive counterparts such as Google Chromecast, for example. To be honest, we didn't get to chance to compare it with other screen mirroring dongle because it worked perfectly for us.

COST

Currently, it is priced at $32.99. However, we got our version for only Php 288.00 (and that includes shipping fee) from an online merchant based overseas. It is definitely a good buy as it is very economical. 

DOES IT WORK? 

It does work perfectly as advertised. So far so good. We got it in May and we have been using it to stream on a non-smart TV on a daily basis. It does its job well.

QUALITY

We are satisfied with the quality of AnyCast M2 Plus for its price. Rarely does the screen mirroring output resolution gets pixelated. It doesn't matter if the screen mirroring resolution of connected device is low (720p or 480p). It usually only happens when the cache file takes up some storage space. Clearing the cache works its magic.
