Screen mirroring (I think!)

[agrimax]

What device do I need to connect my laptop to a smart tv wirelessly? Can do it with a HDMI cable but want to do it wirelessly. Had a quick look on Google but there's so many. Win 10 OS laptop to Samsung Smart tv.The tv's internet browser is pathetic and Facebook direct through it doesn't work so I want to show Facebook pictures via the laptop for mother's benefit.
I'm thinking it's a HDMI dongle I need but which one? TIA.

Be easier off a phone than laptop?

From a Samsung phone just click on the circled button and select the TV when it shows it.

If you're on Apple you'll be needing an Apple TV box.

We use a Chrome cast in the office. Works nicely.

Don't have a Samsung phone or Apple..........
Nokia phone here.
Can use the phone as a remote control for the tv through an app but can't find one for displaying the phone browser on the big screen....
With the cable option between tv and laptop it's simple.Just turns the tv into a big monitor really.Would think there's a simple wireless option too. Must look at Chromecast.

1. Ensure that the TV and laptop are both connected to the same wifi network
2. On the laptop press the windows key and 'P' simultaneously
3. Click 'connect to wireless display'
4. Select the TV

The make of phone/laptop makes no odds. It's the software you are running on them.

Windows and Google (android) will work natively with Smart TVs.
