Pros

This is a very nice product for a beginning streamer. The lag isn't too noticeable but in games like that you will notice it more than let's say animal crossing or pokémon, less demanding titles. The feed is 1 to 1 with 0 latency and streaming on disc... Read More

Comes with a usb-c braided cable included as well as usb-a adapter for it. I have the shadowcast hooked up to my playstation 5 and connected to a thunderbolt 4 port on my base model mac studio. Works amazing on my macbook pro with oled nintendo switch... Read More

Cons

Quality

Video quality on my macbook pro is par as best.

Works as intended, with great picture quality on my monitor.

It's not really compatible with the ps4.

Quality honestly looks like upscaled 480p rather than a hd video feed.

Competitiveness

Other than that, great product for the price point.

" and the answer is that my vision is garbage and many of the games i play have too much detail to look at on a 7-inch screen.

The bad: resolution only goes to 1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60fps.
