best way to cast pc to tv

[shangari.jasdeep21]

My tv has a feature called screen mirroring with which I can mirror my phone but how can I mirror my pc to computer if it doesn't has such a feature. 

 

Thanks

Is the TV Miracast enabled? Microsoft has an adapter that allows you to cast to a Miracst TV.

Model number?

 

 

BTW I have windows 7 on my pc. Does it support miracast? I guess only windows 8.1 support miracast. If I upgrade to windows 10 then it might support miracast. I'm sure my tv doesn't miracast but I can stream movie and music using DLNA.

If you are using windows, you connect to the PC via hdmi, or what ever then select "duplicate these displays" in your change appearance of  your displays settings.

It would have been nice if you put your preference of connection so we could better advise you.....this tv has wifi so you could connect it and your PC to your home network and then all the tv to be connected to your PC and then stream what ever you want on the TV.

and?.....forget mirror cast just hook the tv to your network and stream your content.

My laptop and pc doesn't support miracast but my tv does. How can I make them compatible? If there is a way to do so.

[Sors]

I believe that windows 8.1 can do it, but win 7 and 8 need some software for it, like Intel's WiDi (though I think this is a combination of software and hardware).

I think you need compatible hardware for this, and as Sors mentioned, you need Windows 8 and up. Windows 7 doesn't support it natively.

Also, some TV's only takes propitiatory technology. I think Samsung TVs are guilty of this on some models. You need like a Samsung laptop or phone to make it work with their TVs. So you have to see that your TV is really Miracast compatible, and not some propitiatory things, so you need to look at specifically your TV model.
