Wireless Laptop/PC to Wall-mounted TV


vin3e

Recommended Posts

Good morning guys,

9am here in UK and I was hoping someone could enlighten me to what type of technology devices I might need to stream video or images to a wall mounted TV wireless. The distance between the TV and Laptop will be, at most, 3 - 4 metres.

Any recommendations?

We also have to purchase a new TV so would I have to look out for a specific specification?

I've googled numerous times and I've come up with USB adapters 1 for each but I cant seem to find any decent reviews about the quality of the stream.

We dont have a tight budget but the cheaper the better for either the TV or the wireless connection.

I would highly appreciate any input :)

I use a Sony PS3 for that, in the PC I use PS3 Media Server. I think that Windows Media Player, Nero or TVersity can stream viedo to the PS3 too. Mediatomb also works very well if you have Linux in your PC, but is not as easy to configure.

Look for a TV which is DLNA certified. I think all Smart TVs are DLNA certified. DLNA certified devices basically scans your network (wired/wireless) for shared multimedia files so you can play it on your TV.

If you already have a computer/laptop where your multimedia files are stored, you can make it a DLNA certified media server -> HOWTO.

Other options are using a DLNA certified Network Attached Storage (NAS) or a media player as suggested by majithia23.

Good luck and happy viewing! :)
