Is there any way to connect desktop to HDMI TV wirelessly ?

[bhagu220]

I have Desktop with i5 and gtx750ti. and I have a phillips LED tv (not a smart tv). I cant connect both with HDMI wire (cause distance is not good enough). So is there any way to connect desktop to tv wirelessly via wifi router or any other device ?

And if I connect 2 Hdmi wires to HDMI-to-HDMI connector to increase wire length then will it decrease the video quality ?

Any other sugessions ?

Thank you.

Exactly how far away is your TV from your PC? HDMI signal quality does not begin declining until after 50' or so. Most retail stores only carry up to about 25' in length HDMI cables so you'll have to find longer options on Etailer sites. There are wireless HDMI products out there to connect from source output to TV input, but they are NOT cheap:

30' transmit model for $200: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009E6R89C/ref=twister_B01KOIAKD4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
100' transmit model for $350: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0092T3E3A/ref=twister_B01KOIAKD4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

IMO not worth the money unless you have no other option.

There are wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver pairs -- https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Wireless-Supporting-Transmission/dp/B071VCK1FG/

Your modem and desktop form a network.Samsung blue ray/dvd players have wifi and smart features. Attach the player to the tv and join the player to the network.

So the wireless HDMI options looks costly for me.
Is there any DLNA option available for windows ?
cause I heard that intel WIDI is no longer available.

too costly.

Windows 10 added the capability to cast over the network to a streaming device. Some smart TVs can act as receivers, but since yours is not, you'll have to get a supported streaming device like a Roku or Amazon Fire Stick. Windows uses Miracast, so you'll need to check if receiving device is compatible. Then it's just a matter of plugging that device into your TV, and setting your TV to receive input from it.

Edit: The April 2018 Windows update may have moved the location of this feature. It's now in settings -> display -> connect to wireless display. Not settings -> devices as in the linked tutorial. (I really hate how Microsoft keeps moving these things around, making most of the guides you find online useless. I mention this so anyone reading this in the future knows not to give up if Microsoft decides to move the setting again in a future update.)

Google Chrome (the browser) also has the ability to cast your browser or desktop to a Goggle Chromecast.

While these work, the image quality will not be as good as a straight HDMI connection. Casting works by using the GPU to first turn your desktop into an h.264 video stream, then transmitting that over the network to the receiving device, which plays it as if it were playing a streamed video. So compression artifacts and network dropouts (especially over WiFi) are inevitable.

Again, exactly how far is the distance between your PC and your TV? You have another affordable wired option which won't degrade over HDMI if longer than 50'. You can buy an HDMI-to-ethernet extension adapter/transmitter kit that plugs into the PC's HDMI output and into the TV's HDMI input. It costs $55 (USD). Then all you need is to buy whatever length patch Cat5e/Cat6 ethernet cable you need to connect the two points together. You can typically find a 100' patch cable for around $15 or less. This device supports surround sound:

Running DNLA and using a wireless adapter may be hit or miss as it's up to the driver of your GPU to support it or not these days (and the support of your TV for that matter). I'm afraid your options are severely limited.

Good luck.

Thanks Solandri and 10tacle.
I am thinking tho buy this

https://www.amazon.in/Anycast-Miracast-Multi-display-Receiver-AirMirror/dp/B011KYJS02?tag=googinhydr18418-21&tag=googinkenshoo-21&ascsubtag=02f601de-cb5d-490b-81b6-26c6ecfbebc8

I know that windows 10 is supported with this device.
But will this work on my desktop which have only tp link router connected ?
cause I dont have any wifi card installed on my motherboard.

And another option I found that this

https://www.amazon.in/dp/B019MH43ZE/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?pd_rd_i=B019MH43WM&pd_rd_wg=osBdk&pd_rd_r=FX5BE5F7MX0ZHT90PK20&pd_rd_w=HINd8&th=1

I have another HDMI 3mtr cable.
So if I plug this HDMI cable to HDMI male to female cable, then it will work?

Actually I have a room in which computer is on one side and TV is on another side. So the distance is approx 10 mtr.

Just buy a 10m cable then.

Miracast / Chromecast have awful lag , poor video quality & it's quite likely you'll end Up with out of sync audio or maybe no audio at all.

Under 50'/15m all you need is a single HDMI cable point to point. No signal loss or sync lag. You don't need to spend money on the above. If you don't want to run the cable across the floor, then take measurements to the side(s) of the wall(s) from point to point on how long you actually need and you can tuck the cable up against the wall sides. I've done this. Problem solved and money saved!

Thank you. Going to buy cable.
