Microsoft's 4k wireless display adapter works great with reasonably low latency.

Chromecast has so much latency on my tv, that its impossible to use mouse and UI while looking at the tv.

And miracast just works with windows 10, its built in. Plus you don't need to be on the same network, good for guests.

Miracast also seems to work with most Android phones, with the notable exception of Google (who used to have it in Nexus and then killed it off to promote Chromecast).

That means that the traffic goes through Microsoft's servers? Might be a privacy issue ?

You mean in case of the Wireless Display Adapter? For Miracast you do need to be on the same LAN, right?

No, it makes a WifiDirect connection to the tv concurrent to your normal wifi.

Can you use a different Wi-Fi network at the same time for internet access or does Wi-Fi Direct block any other Wi-Fi access?

Yes, it works simultaneously, that's what I meant with concurrent.
