Separately, (and I realize you didn’t inquire about this), in the previous post I forgot to point out that the built-in Windows 10 & 11 ‘projection’ feature gives the additional advantage (vs Chromecast) of treating the “mirrored” display as monitor #2, which means it can be run in an “extended” fashion thus allowing one to have a particular program (screen) showing on a laptop and then a different program to be displaying on the TV (imagine checking your email while also streaming You Tube, and doing so does not interupt vatching of the video).Īlso, I should have mentioned that the Windows 10 & 11 ‘projection’ (screen mirroring) feature is available through use of an Amazon Fire Stick independent of whether or not it has been built-in to the TV. The only advantages I can see of using the ‘exotic’ version would be 1) If you don’t have a smart TV, it gives you those capabilities, and 2) If you do have a smart TV but its Apps are dated, or are not what you want/need, the ‘exotic’ version can provide these.

streaming from a PC that is connected to the TV? What is the benefit of using an “exotic” Chromecast device with a remote control vs. (FWIW, I personally find that Chromecasting is much-much more reliable than the process described in the link.)
At the link below check out the secton titled “Wireless Projection over an Existing WiFi Network”. (Note that during the connection “clicking” sequence, choices are provided to show either a browser ‘tab’, or the entire computer screen/contents.)Īs a possible alternative, you may want to also explore the Windows 10 & 11 “native” screen mirroring which can be done with certain model TV’s. On both of the types of Chromecast devices, to mirror a COMPUTER’S screen reqires the use of the Google Chrome browser and (as long as the devices are on the same network), requires only a few “clicks”. apps, it should be noted here that there is NOT any “browser app” provided, so mirroring the browser from another device is necessary if you want to enter and explore URL’s.) Then the more exotic Chromecast device, besides having the screen-mirroring capability, also comes with a remote control and provides access to “Apps” which provide smart-TV like functions. This is much the same as using a video cable, but as you posted, is wireless instead.

There are numerous sets of instructions of how to do each type, if you search. The most simple kind of Chromecast is just a powered “dongle” which will “mirror” the screen contents of a computer or other electronic device like a smartphone or tablet. The are two “main” types of Chromecast devices, both connect to a TV’s HDMI port. What is the advantage of a Chromecast connection other than being WiFi?
We can log into Netflix using a PC and simply use a video cable to connect the computer to the TV and watch the program on the TV.
Is Chromecast simply an intermediate app to transfer content from an internet data stream or data stored on a PC to a television or does the app contain data itself.
