    I did look on Amazon. Some expensive branded ones and others inexpensive and still seem good.

    But, I trust the experiences of people here more than general crowd on Amazon.

    - Suggestions/ experiences with such?
    - Are they all Wireless - N or some are AC? Pros and cons of getting an AC one?
    - For now most support 1080p, but is there a higher res standard in the future / upcoming?
    - Any higher Hz thing on them? i.e. 30 Hz vs 60 Hz in discussion when people talk 4K screens.
    - Now HDMI 2.0 (allows 4k @ 60hz) and more Bandwidth
    Some say they are HDMI 2.0 i.e. but is there any benefit if their Wireless / Miracast side cannot support the higher bandwidths/ limited to 1080p/ ...Hz?

    Thoughts & experiences?
