Wi-Fi Direct (or Wi-Di) is what you're looking for. Here is a link to a page that gives you exactly what you are looking for. It even lists the necessary components that you need in order to get it up and running. http://askbobrankin.com/howto_connect_your_pc_to_tv_wirelessly.html As you read this, you will find that even if your TV doesn't have Wi-Di capabilities, you can add an adapter to make it so. These links are listed in the article link that I have provided, but I will list them here as well just for your convenience:

If they are not smart TVs than you would need some sort of receiver box like the Netgear Push2tv. (Assuming you have Intel Wireless Display on the laptop). What I do (my laptop does not have Wireless Display) is plug my laptop in with an HDMI cable, than use a wireless keyboard like the Logitech K400 to control it.
