Or Chromecast.

 

Best bet you'll get for now.

Edit to add amazon links so you can purchase if you feel the need to so.  -_-

I don't recommend wireless streaming to a display, especially a TV, because they have a lot of input lag as it is, and using wireless methods will only increase that amount of latency between your PC drawing a frame, and it being sent over WiFi or Bluetooth to your TV, where the TV will take quite a long time to process the image and then display it on the screen. My estimation for latency times using a fairly modern LCD TV:

28-50ms

Absolutley.

 

If I may say that if you are certain to pursue a wireless option wait until Win10 comes out before making a decision as there is suppose to be some additional information and such concerning miracast so I would wait and see. Also miracast and chrome cast are still somewhat new techs so there will be advances to some degree sometime soon that you will find yourself kicking ... yourself for jumping in to early unless you feel like investing in this tech. But that's your call of course.

Hope you find this useful.
