Tv mirroring

[nextg3n]

Hello

 

i have recieved a task to setup 2 tv-s to a single big room which on its own is not a big problem... easy to do... but the trick begins at when i have to mirror them, meaning connect a single device to the tv and the other tv has to also show the picture, and from an endpoint users point of view it has to be as easy as it can get...  so here i am just listening to the ground to dig up some additional info of whcih im not avare of....

if you have a pc connected to both just enter the windows settings and select system>projector> and select the mirror function.

 then it will mirror what is on the main monitor with the other monitor

He said to only have 1 device plugged in the pc. So you'd need a splitter. https://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Switch-4K-Splitter-Bi-Directional/dp/B079JQ9XXV/ref=sxin_2_ac_d_pm?ac_md=1-0-VW5kZXIgJDEw-ac_d_pm&crid=16WF4AAET3Y8K&keywords=hdmi+splitter&pd_rd_i=B079JQ9XXV&pd_rd_r=b737e715-9194-40ee-a577-d45bbc359cc0&pd_rd_w=nvJfk&pd_rd_wg=oDQ7X&pf_rd_p=709d2064-e546-4799-9e66-b352ea89951f&pf_rd_r=W77JVE1N656KSVQ2W13R&psc=1&qid=1576666703&sprefix=hdmi+spli%2Caps%2C221

 

Something like this should work.

im aware of the splitter solutions also but not a fan, what im looking for i believe is tv-s that can connect wirelessly to each other and act both as the master or the slave(and id connect pc wirelessly to tv and it send the signal to the second tv...  or etc... since im only limited only by our providers  id hope someone like samsung or lg has been able to create sth like this) and it would be perfect that it would work without having the need to set everything up everytime again...

or do we have like some splitters that you can connect to wirelessly and then send the signal to tv-s? im just spitballing here so its my best guess

Uhhhh that'd depend on what you're needing to display. Wireless hdmi stuff has like... Tons of latency. Besides that it doesnt work reliably. And it'd require a direct connection to the pc

Not screwed, it could work. However it'd 1. Cost quite a bit. 2. It wont work the way you want. 3. Its just a bad idea.

 

Have you ever tried mirroring your screen with a chromecast? That'd be a solution for 1 screen. But thats about it

It'd be amazing if we could have wireless stuff with almost no latency. But its not that easy.

i do not need it bo with zero latency since it is going to a conference room but i need it to work in a foolproof way and i could do the splitter version but than again my lenovo L470 doesnt have an hdmi output... and our company uses lenovos...  an laptops have either docking stations or atbest some moronic output... i have vga...  ive mini hdmi-s or etc....

Vga doesnt have any wireless solutions at all i think. Just having some cables is honestly your best bet.
