Great image quality and setup experience.

I have no major issues connection various devices using ShadowCast 2.

The latency is sadly too high for action games when you need to act fast (Helldivers 2), but it's more that ok for more slow games like Witcher 3. I tried to tweak the resolution, but it didn't make any difference.

I would say the latency is on pair with Remote Play on PS5.

Color reproduction is limited to 8bit I guess, but it's not so noticeable during the gameplay.

Just a few notes:

- Use Genki Arcade app from the Apple App Store, not from the website.

- Disable HDCP on your device BEFORE trying to stream anything.

To be able to steam on every popular stream app with this is very nice and convenient and just being able to play games with pc on not having to switch screens or turn off your pc. All said and done very nice gadget.
