So I just mounted a new flat screen TV flush to the wall on my room, tucked all the wires inside the drywall behind the TV. Looks great. Then I wanted to use the TV as an extra desktop for my PC and to project stuff to it from my PC.
I bought 2 items: A USB WiFi adapter (my PC is connected to LAN but not my home WiFi), and the Microsoft 4K Wireless Display Adapter.
I thought I needed the Microsoft adapter to achieve my goal, but I found that as soon as I installed the WiFi adapter, and connected to both the WiFi network and LAN, my PC was able to project stuff to the TV without the Wireless Display Adapter. I guess my PC was Miracast-enabled.
Question -- Should I return the Microsoft adapter? What is it good for if my PC can project stuff already with a WiFi connection? Is it only intended for use with PCs and devices that cannot connect to the TV on their own??
