    SCreen mirroring

    Hi

    Does anyone have experience of using Screen mirroring using a Miracast compatible Android tablet and Smart TV ?

    I would like to use screen mirroring but without using an 8ft HDMI cable.

    I've done it with an android phone/tablet and Chromecast. The novelty wore off after 10 minutes.

    What about without Chromecast ? Is that possible ?

    I guess so, if the TV has Miracast, which yours seem to. I haven't got miracast on my telly, so I've never seen it working.

    This seems useful though:

    Re: SCreen mirroring

    I use Miracast and Chromecast for Screen Mirroring. I probably favour Chromecast. Being able to Extend your Windows desktop to a second screen using a Chromecast device is very useful.

    Currently have a LG G-Pad 8.3 running Android that I Miracast to a Samsung UE40JU6400. Mostly use it for showing people things I've found on the web, a virtual whiteboard, sharing pictures or to show family+friends how to use different Android devices/apps.

    One of those nifty features you never think you'd use, but there are a million everyday uses for

    I bought an Android mini PC gfor £25 and the Flash streaming was abyssmally slow!

    Ideally, I need something that hasa HDMI port, plugs into a TV and can play Flash videos flawlessly without any other accessories.
