transmit wirelessly from laptop to LCD TV??

[Sammy Abernathy]

I want to be able to see my laptop's screen on my 46" LCD TV. Is there
a cheap way I can do this wirelessly and, if so, how?

Thank you,
Sam

The NSA by its actions has shredded the 4th Amendment of the Constitution
and has essentially declared war on the American people. Put the NSA leaders
on trial for treason, and upon being found guilty, publicly execute them to
send a strong message. God bless Ed Snowden! Death to NSA thugs!

Do you have Blutooth [sic] on both devices? Does the TV have a USB
input? You can get Blootooth dongles,

I have two older technology devices like this.
Great for watching a movie.
Reading text is impossible.
Imagine a picture with way too much jpg compression.
I expect current generation is better...just hard to
tell without seeing one in action.
Cheapest may not be the best metric.

Suggest you get a demo before spending a lot of money.
At lest get advice from someone who actually uses the
EXACT model you're contemplating.

Connect a video camera to the TV, focus and point it at the laptop
screen. There you go! Wireless

If you just want to watch video files you have stored on the laptop, a
network connected media player would be a solution to access the laptop
drive via WiFi. Cheap, you might have one already built into your TV if
it advertises itself as "Smart" or DNLA, or similar built into connected
Blueray or PVR equipment.

There are also software methods about (e.g VLC) to turn a computer
display into a video stream, that may also be rendered by such a media
player. Won't be the best in responsiveness as there will be a delay for
encoding the stream - so useless for gaming.

And then there's wireless HDMI....
