Question Recommended hardware to connect a laptop to a TV screen wirelessly ?

[Manuel Jordan]

Hello Friends

Having a laptop and a TV screen as a secondary Monitor is used the classic HDMI cable connector.

Considering any of the following scenarios

• The TV screen does not support Bluetooth connection (is not "smart")
• Is not possible use the HDMI cable connector in the room because there are children

Because the requirement is let an elder watch the TV Screen with any stream platform such as:

• YouTube
• Netflix
• Disney Plus

But keeping zero cables in the room to avoid any kind of accident

Question

• Is possible buy a "hardware" that works as a receptor to be connected in the TV screen and send the signal from the laptop through wireless to that receptor?

If you have a suggestion and manufacturer about that "hardware" pls share a link about Amazon

Thanks in advance

One option would be using power line networking adapters.

But keeping zero cables in the room to avoid any kind of accident

Both the laptop and TV still need input power and one can't transmit electricity wirelessly. So, power cables are a must.

Also, there are plethora of ways to shield (or hide) cables from children and pets. So, having cables running along the corners of wall/floor, isn't a big deal.

Why don't you just get an AppleTV or a Amazon Fire TV Stick?

Fire stick or roku would be ideal. If you must use the pc something like this would probably do it. I think there are cheaper ones as well.
