Has anyone got one of these?

I just got one so that I can watch stuff from my 4S on my tv. It's working but it doesn't fill up the whole tv. There are huge gaps on the sides and even top and bottom. I've seen on youtube people using them and they fill the whole screen. I can use my tv's zoom but that then misses some of the video and the quality goes way down. It's a Panasonic TX-P42G30B

How do I get it full screen?

If it's only for home use, take it back and buy an Apple TV. It doesn't cost loads more, but the wireless AirPlay is worth it alone. I found the cable always fell out of my old iPad and phone when I used it.

I don't remember having a problem with a black border around videos either.

I wouldn't use the Apple TV enough since I have my tv HDMI'd to my pc as a second monitor.

Screen mirroring won't work unless he has a new mac, certainly won't mirror an iphone either.

Should work for you on your PC. Just send it AirPlay to that and all should be good.

Late reply as I was on holiday. Mirroring an iPhone screen has been possible since the 4s and the iPad 2 AFAIK. My iPhone 5 and iPad 2 can definitely do it, and just AirPlay videos/ music is possible on the earlier models too.

We use this in our meeting rooms at work. It works well as a low cost alternative but frame rates can be a bit iffy sometimes with games. Some YT videos also refuse to play too, but the majority are fine.
