Asus PG279Q HDMI

[Insomniax]

is it possible to mirror my laptops screen to my pg279q without using the display port. if so how?

if you have something like a raspberry pi connected up to that monitor and if the wifi chip in your laptop is good enough, yes. at 5fps. 

 

teamviewer will give you a .. somewhat pleasant experience, wouldn't use it for more than a minute though 

 

 

 

 

wireless hdmi?

Unless if it's a wireless supported display then no you still have to stick to the good old cable. 

 

 

edit: okay there are some other options but they are rather sketchy and it would save time and maybe even money to just use a cable.
